Ronaldo is a money-making machine for the Portuguese Federation. Once out of the National Team, sponsorships dry up. This is serious business, you naive football fans. This is economics.
I don't know which is more embarrassing: Cristiano's statement or his latest walnut whip hairdo.
The Press and MSM biggest wish is to get rid of him from ever touching a ball. The hatred towards this man threw out the years is there to see
Please let's leave all these negativity and talk about Messi - The Greatest Of All Time.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd-xcxXCQO8&t=115">1:55</a> how full of himself is he π
Piers Morgan has just secured a lucrative interview with CR7.
ESPN analysis sucks.. grown babies that hate towards CR7 can't let them speak well.
This isnβt fair to Ramos, whoβs been in great form in the Portuguese kit, imagine working super hard and no matter what you do, back channel talks are being held.
This almost like in the times of roger moore in bond era when they argued after moonraker he is old but stil badass
The whole thing sounds like a toxic breakup.
The message we send by agreeing with Ronaldo is that if you have status, you can walk out on the team if you don't like certain decisions. What a great example that set; if Messi had done that, he would have been crucified worse than Jesus...
Why would a coach have to apologize for changing his mind about playing a player ??? Ronaldo should have apologized for not thanking the fans after that game π€·ββ
Mad man fury. Stupid man in action.. Selish man on targeting to achieve something ππ
Crynaldo and Penaldo- should have retired 21 Euros
Messi would NEVER get disrespected by a manager like this, because hes way more humble as a person and 10x better as a player ππ₯π¨π¨
Is Dan playing devils advocate or just daft? Is a player was βplanning to retireβ he wouldnβt be pushing to play games his manager said he didnβt need to play
Some of you commentators I wonder if you have ever played football under a coach, you would have known how hard it is to manage. The Portugal team is happy without him. they put on a big show lately. So, I think Ronaldo should see that, and properly make his way out..
Awe man, I was hoping for a throwback to Burley's Fireside Rant!
Mental problem since 2022 Dec.
Someone check Steve's bank account. That brother must have received payments from offshore accounts. What a load of shyte
That Scottish guy is very stupid for a professional pundit. We ainβt all like that
Heβs crying like as if his dad said heβd play catch with him but got caught up at work. βHe promised me but never did what he said so I called the big boss in to fire him and that didnβt work so I quit!β Since he also didnβt do what he said which was see the tournament through by accepting a position on the roster, it should be void that he returns. The team adjusted and won without him. He shouldnβt be allowed to be there to hold up the trophy on something he didnβt help win. Let that be how heβs remembered, throwing a fit and quitting.
Jesus what a circus this is becoming. Itβs irrelevant what a 41 yr old wants. Without him Portugal are winning football matches at present. <br>Manager will always live and die by the sword.
Heβs a big crying baby.. period
Always be wary of a statement that says something along the lines of βthis is trueβ, Stevie and Shaka (I.e. βwe didnβt burn him!β- listen to Robbie with his martial cynicism. I suspect the full truth is about halfway between the two sides statements. Ronaldoβs comments that he shouldnβt have walked away and he will be available after any suspension (probably not warranted) are the best parts of his statement with regard to calming things down for Portugal, but does Stevieβs point on that and the hypocrisy indicate that some of the first half may not be the version both sides would say happened. I also think Ronaldo would have no interest in a glorified testimonial game - I think he would only want an official game.
What a baby. Even Fergie had to let him get away from Utd.
Ronaldo is still playing in his club. He lead the his club to victory. And led his country to win the European championship last year. What is he can play? He scored in their European championship last year.
The IQ of these ppl. They missed the entire issue. He left because the coach didnβt obey the dictator dictating a long apology mentioning Maradona and PelΓ©. Pathetic!!
Jesus is absolutely right, Ronaldo should be benched and never play a minute for Portugal ever again ππ
What a loser lol
Show me a video where Shaka doesn't always agree with whatever Burley or Stevie says.right before his turn to speak lol
If Cristiano said hes gonna retire yet in the press conference he says I'm fit and I feel good and I believe i have a lot to contribute. Which one is it?<br>Also which part of him thinks that he has been bringing value to the team?<br>I think Stevie Nichol has lost his senile mind. He told CR he would play the 1st and 4th match. In the 2nd match he asks him to be ready to play 30 minutes. Yet the game changed and he changed his mind. He's allowed to do that. He needs to do what's best for the team. He didnt lie to him. He changed his mind based on the game..<br>Now the 2nd part about what he told Cristiano and what he said at the press conference its he say she say. What would he need to publicly apologize for? For making Cristiano warm up?<br>Portugal is winning without Cristiano and Gonzalo Ramos is scoring in every game. Move on
Infinite content glitch for espn
Why do Steve Nicol and Shaka Hislop assume that the statement put out by Ronaldo is the truth? Besides, Jorge Jesus is the coach and is entitled to manage his team the best way he sees fit. Ronaldo is a shadow of the player he once was and should have retired immediately after the Qatar World Cup in 2022 instead of sticking around like a bad smell.
The manager doesn't have to apologise for anything. He's the manager and trying to demand that he compares Ronaldo to Maradona and Pele is just ridiculous. Just show how incredible vain Ronaldo is. I wonder if anyone ever comparing him to the greats actually meant it or it was a demand like this.<br><br>Overrated manchild. Just retire, stop stat boosting and let the team enjoy what little is left of the generation wasted on the Homelander's stats.
FIX PENALDOG THE MOST OVERRATED PLYER OF ALL TIME BEDROCK<br><br>MESSI βΎοΈ π <br>PelΓ© >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C.Ronaldo <br>Maradona >>>>>>>>>> C.Ronaldo <br>Ronaldo Nazario >>>>> C.Ronaldo <br>Zidane >>>>>>>>>>>>> C.Ronaldo
Espn doing its bidding for penaldo now πππ
How can you in the same sentence say βa player of his quality should decide when he should retireβ and also say βhe should have retired four year ago (because thatβs when I think he should have retiredβ meanwhile 3 years after that World Cup Ronaldo helped Portugal beat Germany and Spain in the semi-final and final of the nations league π€£
Ask Zidane today if he will still count on Ronaldo today?
He scored 18 goals after turnig 39, just because he is over 40 he should retire!!!
Dude waits until the day of Messi's farewell to release his statement. What an attention wh00re diva.
Blatant LIE!!!<br>ππ<br>Ronaldo had a meeting with the Portugal's Football Federation president and coach Jorge Jesus on September 23 a day BEFORE the Nation's League qualification (September 24)<br>he said that he believes he can still help the national team <br>Sources:<br>The Guardian <br>He was offended because he was benched!<br><br>AP News
So bro planted Jesus to prolong his playtime but it didnβt work in his favour so he wants him gone? . Hahaha, I thought he was chad, broβs just a loser
I don't believe his words. So, what kind of truth did G Jesus no say that's why he left. Exactly what He said, He even said in an interview that he will decide when he retires from the national team. He controls everything. I wish y'all are in G Jesus' shoes. Who is the boss here? He started his statement saying the FA asked him, to not retire, and the coach did not keep his promise. I don't even know why we are making a polemic out of this. Your coach said he will use you and he find out the game is demanding differently. The guy is trying to sneak attack his coach. <br>What happened to him, happens to every player. He is in charge of his carrier. And G Jesus is in charge of the National team.<br>Why put pressure on the coach to explain things to journalist.
So Dan means to say if his boss tells him to keep eating, he will continue till he pukes? What a stupid argument!
Someone just give him back his pacifier
The embarrassment Ronaldo fans must feel is insane
Biggest child baby ignorance
Only morons are Ronaldos side. He wasnt even happy his team won. He clearly showed its ALL ABOUT HIM. How selfish can you be? How do you defend that disgraceful behavior
The team is better without him clearly like real Madrid was better without mbappe cr7 making it harder for his team mates confidence and players making the squad selfish if he didn't play so what going forward which means you don't have to play in every game and the coach didn't need him to come in and change the style to suit him the coach is in his rights to do what he needs to to Whats best for not just the team for Portuguese football
I don't think a single soul other than Dan believes that he was going to retire and they called him back
Clearly the Federation if this is true was trying to milk Ronaldo's commercial appeal.<br>This shouldn't have gotten to this stage.
Dude, just retire man!
This statement of his will only bring him more adversity and tarnish him even more you just watch .<br>If there was division with him in the camp before, now will be unbearable.
The diva that keeps sinking himself. Portugal need to move on from Ronaldo abd send him back to Saudi.
It is hilarious that they are taking cr7βs word at face value. This farce is designed to protect a fragile ego and distract from Messiβs farewell match. Disappointed to see this lot engaging in this foolishness.
Jose Mourinho: βCristiano can never be on the bench. When he retires, he retires. When he doesnt he has to play."<br>Shows the difference between elite winners and and nobodies like Jorge Jesus.
Did piers Morgan helped to write the statement ?
Stevie made sense
Mans is playing till the next World Cup nowππ€¦πΎββοΈ
If Penaldo comes for another circus, Bruno, neves, diego, cancelo should retire before him... that scumbag can't come bag disturb the team again.. nowhere near
Honestly guys this complete 180 over some bs statement makes me feel like the saudi money has arrived π€£
I was expecting a generational Piers Morgan interview, not a 2000 word novel.<br>My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
There is waymore to the story than this
I have watched this show for years. Not once have I heard anything reasonably meaningful from Shaq.... π
Bro the guy wanted the coach to read a statement he made for him where he says I made a mistake asking him, ''a player of the level of PelΓ© and Maradone" (lol) to warm up for 30 min and not play him. that he is a great guy and that he loves him. He wanted his coach to read a statement he pre-approved! This is insane! No doubt Portugal was chaotic despite their good players. Cristiano has been playing for 20 + years a coach asking a player to warm up and then changing his mind when the game situation changed is absolutely normal.
Lol ππππ how dare the manager told Ronaldo to warm up to play but didn't play him and How dare the manager didn't Apologize when he was instructed by Ronaldo to do so ....Anyone in the media or otherwise pretend that Ronaldo is in the right should never be trusted with even providing the Time
So my boss tells me to not retire but everybody in the world blames me for not retiring by force. I should play 2 games but somehow you come to me and tell me Iβll get some extra 30 minutes on a certain day Iβm not mentally and physically ready to play but end up warming up and wasting my time? You guys are ridiculous atp. I get you can hate the guy but not seeing things from his side is crazy. And no Iβm not defending his petulant behaviors over and over again. But come on itβs not all his fault.
Cringeiano Ronaldo
Poor GonΓ§alo Ramos will be retired before Ronaldo. His international career is being held back by Ronaldoβs ego
So if the Argentina F.A and coach tells messi they still need him , messi wonβt have retired.Joke!!
Rlmspurs going crazy in the comments crying for his man. ππ
Since 2022 World Cup he hasnβt been effective for the Portuguese team anymore.Heβs 41!!
He's 41!!!!
Ronaldo please just retire ooog we are tired very tired of your nonsense...everytime portugal loose you run away crying but when you on the field you do nothing aswell chip jou tyd is op
Robo is always in Defensive mode. Point is simple Some people are too big to be disrespected like that. Many People like me in South Asia started watching football due to Ronaldo. <br>Players Like Pele Maradona Messi Ronaldo Deserve only Respect and admiration.
Did Robo actually read CR7 statement at all?? Or he just wouldnβt pass on an opportunity to just criticize the player
I do not believe for a second that ronaldo was going to leave and only came back because he was asked... not a second
He asked his coach to go out and say Cristiano is pele maradona level player and i apologize to him ππππ thats the moment Jesus kicked him out π
baldy .probably never played or has a hatred to cr7.........
I think the FA is at the centre of this mess. They want him there for commercial purposes, even though the guy is finished. The coach doesn't owe Ronaldo or any other player sh!t. The coach shouldn't allow anyone to compel him to field a player that's a little more than useless to the team; better he quits.
GOATnaldo π
The Portuguese federation and many fans have enabled this narcissistic crybaby and now the chickens have come home to roost.
So Argentinian President and coach have not told Messi to stay? If they had he would stay? Bs...
Such an embarrassing fella !
He intentionally released those statements just prior to Messi play his last match...take media spotlight... He is a narcissist...
Jesus needs to apologize for what? Putting in a player who scored the winning goal? He should be telling the Portuguese fans, βYouβre welcome.β
Atleast he accept he was wrong and should be penanlise lol
Cristiano Ronaldo with the perfect humble response when he didnβt had to. His discipline and humility to own up instead of making excuses show the character of a true role model. The GOAT apologised to his fans and the Portuguese people. Thatβs real accountability π
For a player of his stature, he shouldn't be acting so petty, managers take decisions occording to the on going game, it's a common thing for managers telling players to warm up and then they never have to come on, his ego won't let him sit on a bench for the whole game, everything is about him, he has no fucks to give about the team he just wants all the attention, the bigger the ego the harder the fall
Pendu clown will continue this circus.. It's better to cut off this cancer
if i should start reading now . i will miss mesis game. ππ. who caresssssss
So what does this change? He left because the coach told him he was going to play 30 minutes and made him do the warmup, yet he wasn't subbed on. <br>That's what everybody knew. How does his statement make him look any less bad? He is just admiting to what everybody was thinking to be the reason.
Espn Fc eating off Ronaldoβs name, views been good these past 5 daysπ π½οΈ
I feel sorry for the Portugal national team players to hear he might still come back to the squad
The fact he can't recognise he's done and washed is pathetic
The idiot is a crybaby
Heβs a clown who fails to see heβs washed up and is embarrassing his legacy. Heβs just a pathetic, spoiled brat with no sense of how ridiculous he looks.
What an embarrassingly fitting ending for Ronaldo: instead of leaving a national team as a legend, he turns his farewell into another episode of the Cristiano Ronaldo Show. Ego, theatrics and absolutely no sense of perspective.. because apparently even retirement has to be about him. At this point, heβs not walking away like a footballing icon. Heβs throwing a tantrum on his way out. What a clown π€‘π€‘π€‘π€‘π€‘
Dan is more annoying and willing to embarrass himself than Jennings on CNN.
Up next
