Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus: Statement and Alleged Demands Criticized

Yesterday, Rebeca was saying that she may be listening to us, but while we're at it, we have to respond to this statement.

Madalena, I want, I want, I want to respond by telling you, by reading you something that speaks well to the scale of the, of, the ego trip that we are witnessing and living through, which saddens me greatly, because in fact, Cristiano is the greatest athlete Portugal has ever seen and one of the greatest the

world has ever seen. But so you can see what someone's ego trip is like.

alguém.

Cristiano Ronaldo wanted Jorge Jesus to say this: "I was wrong to have someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona warming up, only not to put him in the game. If it were today, I wouldn't do it."

So, Ronaldo, one of the eight points in the statement was: Jesus had to say that, but he had to say more, he had to say: "He never questioned my choices. He was always exemplary, loyal and professional." That is, we're dealing with someone— I, I think at a certain point, you know there are many illnesses, people have episodes, right?

This is the biggest ego trip I've ever seen.

That is, a man who says the other person has to say yes, that he has to talk about Pelé and Maradona to talk about himself? Sorry— It's because if he hadn't established this understanding, no, this split would not already have been established.

No, I mean, he wants someone who has courage.

First of all, the, the, Dr. Tiago Craveiro apparently doesn't know how to put languages in, commas in statements, but that's a detail.

But, I mean, when someone has this attitude of wanting that For a national team coach, who's responsible, the man who picks the team, the man who is responsible for delivering, uh, results, to do things like, "Hey, you, listen, gentlemen, this man is like Pelé and Maradona, so

I, I should have taken a look at him." He's someone completely out of touch with reality and with a problem that perhaps needs treating, because this isn't normal.

It's a manual, it’s a manual for humiliating Jorge.

It's a manu— no, I mean, what did he want?

At one point— There's no other way to sum it up.

I mean, well, and, and, the fact that he also says—look, the ego in this: "I supported the choice of the new national team coach." He supported the choice of the new national team coach?

He considered it the right choice, he says that.

He supported the choice. But excuse me, isn't it the Portuguese Football Federation that has to say who the new national coach is?

I really mean, this is a, this is a, a, a statement from someone who has completely lost their mind or else is doing everything for that, that whole story that I also, obviously, that if, doesn't cross anyone's mind.

António, I believe, António was saying, Jorge Costa, even Nuno said, and everything else, that it doesn't cross anyone's mind that that, that Jorge Jesus would be fired. But this kind of argument in this statement, and what I see on the two cha— on the two TV channels that are on the payroll and are campaigning for

Cristiano Ronaldo, is exactly the opposite, it's really wanting Jorge Jesus, I mean, everything contradicts that claim.
