🚨𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Sacoor Brothers who are responsible for fashion and formal wear, providing tailored suits for the Portugal squad are planning to cut their Sponsorship with the national team following Ronaldo's exit.
🚨🎙️ Gianluigi Buffon on the Cristiano Ronaldo moment they always talked about at Juventus:
🗣️ “The Cristiano Ronaldo moment we always talked about at Juventus was that game against Barcelona.
After Barcelona beat Juventus 2–0 in Turin, Barça’s official account posted a picture of Messi with the message basically saying:
‘Glad you got to see the GOAT on your pitch.’
Juventus replied with a warning: ‘Wrong dictionary — we’ll bring you the right one to Camp Nou.’
Then December 8 came.
Camp Nou.
Ronaldo was back.
Juventus won 3–0. Ronaldo scored twice.
And after the final whistle, Juventus went back to that old exchange and delivered the line:
‘We kept our word: we brought it.’
We were so happy with that result that we talked about it in the dressing room for months.
We said to each other, ‘We wish this guy had joined us when he was young.’ 🥹
Cristiano is a player who can decide a game on his own.” 🐐🇵🇹

🚨🗣️ Rasmus Hojlund on why he hit the SIU Celebration:
“I just wanted to send a strong message to the Portugal team that if they don’t value Cristiano, there’s a whole lot in the world he has inspired and still looks up to him.” 🇩🇰❤️
🚨🗣️ Di María on Bruno Fernandes’s two assists in their 4:2 win against Denmark:
“When Cristiano Ronaldo was there, I don’t see those crosses, I don’t see that creativity from him. After Ronaldo left, he has turned into prime Özil, Zidane and De Bruyne.
If he had dropped this performance at the World Cup, who knows maybe Portugal could have won it.”
“But let’s be honest. They all intentionally want Ronaldo out of the national team so they can play woefully at the World Cup and still look like the story is about ‘moving on.’ That’s shameful. You don’t build a better side by pushing out the man who carried you for years and then celebrating one friendly as proof you were right.”
🚨 Antonio Conte criticizes Jorge Jesus on the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ Antonio Conte: “Look, for me, this is very simple. It is a matter of respect, and above all, a matter of clear face-to-face honesty.
“You call a top player, an absolute champion like Cristiano, to the national team. You bring him to the training ground, you take him to the stadium, and then you put him on the bench like he is a normal player? No. If he is not in your mind, if he is not in your tactical idea, you leave him at home! You do not play these media games.
“Jorge Jesus knew Cristiano was 41 years old before he made the squad list. Nobody is stupid! You know he cannot run for 90 minutes like a young horse. But if you call him, it is because you need his personality, his quality, his mentality. You do not bring him just to show the journalists, ‘Look at me, I am the manager, I have the big balls to sit Ronaldo on the bench.’ This is weak.
“And we must speak the truth about how Jorge arrived here. He used Cristiano. He used Ronaldo’s name, his presence, his global spotlight to make himself famous on the international stage and get the Portugal job! You take the benefit from a giant, and then when you get the power, you spit on him? No. This I do not respect.
“And now I read they want another meeting? They sit at a round table again, begging him, ‘Please, Cristiano, do not retire, stay with us,’ making the same promises, only to repeat this embarrassing circus two months later? It is ridiculous! It is not serious!
“Jorge must understand something very well: you can win a small ego war today, but you lose the respect of the entire locker room tomorrow. Cristiano gave his blood and his life for Portugal. You manage him with clear words and maximum respect—or you do not call him at all.”
Por fin un argentino que sabe de fútbol…
“Sin Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal no sería candidato a ningún título NUNCA. El los puso en el mapa”.
Genio. Alguien que no tiene miedo de decir la verdad. 👏🏻
Ronaldo might have asked whether he was still needed in the national team, and the board said yes only to deceive him so they could sell more tickets and attract more viewers.
Ronaldo would never leave a camp unless an agreement had been broken.
This was Portugal Before Cristiano Ronaldo:
75 Years
0 Finals
0 Trophies
Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo:
21 Years
4 Finals
3 Trophies
A Nation that hadn't even Played a Single Final Before Ronaldo Stepped up has the Audacity to Insult that Same Hero !? That's Arrogance, and if History has taught us Anything, it's that Pride goes before a fall. Your Doom is Nigh
🚨💣 JUST IN: Cristiano Ronaldo’s close friend @EduAguirre7 explains WHY RONALDO LEFT PORTUGAL’S CAMP:
“In a private meeting with Cristiano, the Portugal FA President and Jorge Jesus, Jorge asked Cristiano for FORGIVENESS after making him warm up for 30 minutes without bringing him on.
He also PROMISED Cristiano he would publicly apologize in his press conference, admit he made a MISTAKE and clarify everything.
But Jorge did NOT keep his promise.
Instead, Cristiano felt he said things that were NOT TRUE and tried to show publicly that he was in control and Cristiano was ‘just another player.’
That made Cristiano angry.
Cristiano feels BETRAYED. Jorge apologized to him privately, promised to do the same publicly and then did the opposite.
So Cristiano decided: he’s going HOME.
For him, it’s a BETRAYAL.”

🚨🚨Zinedine Zidane blasts Jorge Jesus over the tension with Cristiano Ronaldo:
“I don’t like talking about other coaches’ dressing rooms. Usually I prefer to stay quiet. But some things you feel immediately when you have lived with a player like Cristiano.
You cannot call a man of that stature into the squad, take him to the match, warm him up, and then treat him as if he is just another name on the list. That is not managing a team. That is forgetting who is in front of you.
Cristiano is 41. Everyone knows that. I knew it when I coached him. His body is not the same. His minutes have to be chosen with intelligence. Nobody serious is asking him to run like he did at 26. That is not the discussion.
The discussion is respect.
If you select him, it is because you understand what he still represents. Not only the goals. The presence. The demand. The history he carries for Portugal. You do not use that history when it is useful and put it in a drawer when you want to show that the coach decides everything.
A coach always decides. That is normal. I decided many times at Madrid who started and who sat. Cristiano accepted it when the relationship was clear. What a player of that level does not accept is being made to look small in public.
If you need him for twenty minutes, prepare those twenty minutes. If the game changes and you do not need him, explain it like a man, before, not after he has been running on the touchline. Do not leave a champion standing there so that people understand who is in charge. Everyone already understands who is in charge.
I worked with him. I know what he gives a dressing room even when he does not play 90 minutes. I also know what it costs a coach later if a player of that magnitude feels he was used, then discarded, just to make a point.
The Nations League will pass. The next match will come. Jorge will prepare another team. Cristiano will remember how he was treated.
You do not have to start him every time. You do not have to protect his ego at the expense of the team. But after everything he has given that shirt, you owe him something simple: dignity.
A great player can accept being on the bench.
He cannot accept being treated as if his name no longer means anything.”
