🚨 Luis Figo on Portugal immediately giving Cristiano Ronaldo’s No.7 to Rafael Leao following his departure:
“I remember Cristiano’s first years with Portugal.
One day after training, some of the older players were talking and Cristiano was still outside doing something with the ball.
I looked over and said, ‘Does this boy ever go inside?’
Someone said, ‘Leave him. He wants to become the best player in the world.’
I laughed.
Cristiano heard us.
He came over and said, ‘Not just the best. I want to do something for Portugal that people remember.’
I told him, ‘Then you’re going to suffer.’
He looked confused.
I said, ‘Playing for your country is different. When things are good, everybody belongs to you. When things are bad, you still have to come back. That’s the deal.’
He said, ‘I’ll always come back.’
I thought about that conversation today.
Because more than twenty years later, Cristiano finally left a Portugal camp, and his number given to Rafael instantly.
And instead of immediately asking why the boy who told us he’d always come back finally decided to walk away, everybody seems in a hurry to show how quickly football can continue without him.
That worries me.
Not because Portugal cannot continue without Cristiano.
Of course it can.
I worry about the 12-year-old Portuguese boy watching.
Maybe Cristiano is the reason he started playing football. Maybe number seven is on the back of every Portugal shirt he’s ever owned.
One day that boy might become the next star.
He might become somebody we haven’t heard of yet.
And when he arrives at the national team, we’ll tell him exactly what we told Cristiano.
‘This shirt is different.’
Sacrifice for it.
Play hurt for it.
Come whenever you’re called.
Put the country before yourself.
But children aren’t stupid. Footballers aren’t either.
Eventually one of them will ask the question nobody wants to hear:
‘What happens when I’ve given Portugal everything?���
That’s why how you treat Cristiano at the end matters.
I remember another conversation with him years later.
By then he wasn’t the skinny boy anymore. He was captain.
I joked, ‘You said you’d do something Portugal would remember. I think they’ve noticed now.’
He laughed and said, ‘I’m not finished.’
That became Cristiano’s relationship with Portugal.
Never finished.
Lose a tournament, come back.
Get criticised, come back.
Get older, come back.
People tell you the next generation is ready, come back.
Until eventually, something happened and he didn’t come back.
He packed his things and left.
Then he told the Portuguese people that one day he would explain ‘the truth.’
I don’t know what happened inside those conversations, so I’m not going to invent it.
But if a relationship lasting more than twenty years ends like that, the federation shouldn’t only be thinking about the player who walked out of the building.
They should be thinking about the boys watching him walk out.
Because one day Portugal will ask one of them for everything too.
And when that day comes, you don’t want him remembering Cristiano Ronaldo and thinking:
‘Everything?’
I told Cristiano all those years ago that playing for your country means always coming back.
Perhaps there was another part we should have told him.
Your country should give you a reason to.”

El presidente Daniel Noboa anunció que el Gobierno eliminará temporalmente el Impuesto a los Consumos Especiales (ICE) para las bebidas de moderación, incluida la cerveza, durante el Mundial 2026. “A todas las bebidas de moderación, incluida la cerveza, vamos a quitarle el ICE durante el Mundial”, señaló el mandatario.

⚽️¡Así se denuncia la corrupción de la FIFA!
Simon Brodkin volvió a hacerlo: lanzó billetes de dinero falso sobre Gianni Infantino y los directivos de la FIFA durante una conferencia de prensa.
Mientras venden entradas a 10.000 dólares para el Mundial 2026 y convierten “el deporte del pueblo” en un negocio exclusivo para millonarios, este activista les recordó en la cara su codicia y corrupción.
FIFA ya no disimula: es un club de élites que se enriquece a costa de los aficionados.
#Cuenca | Ciudadano cuencano estuvo de visita cerca del Chimborazo pero una comunidad lo interceptó por su presencia en la zona. Afortunadamente todo terminó en sonrisas.
El 14 de agosto de 2023, durante el debate presidencial, Daniel Noboa prometió que Ecuador refinaría su propio petróleo para producir “diésel nacional” y reducir los costos del transporte público. Hoy, la realidad es exactamente la contraria: subsidios desmontados, transportistas paralizando operaciones, ciudadanos pagando más y una Refinería de Esmeraldas operando golpeada tras incendios y fallas acumuladas.
Felicitaciones, presidente @DanielNoboaOk.
¡Otra promesa incumplida! ✖️☠️
