Portugal plays Wales. [0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=3) Cristiano Ronaldo is substituted in the sixty-seventh minute, I think, no, no. [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=7) He seems very pleased. Unprecedented, when he is substituted, he usually loves it. Then he didn't play against Norway, uh, although he, uh, went to warm up. That's one of the, it's one of the issues here, people saying, "He made him warm up." [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=22) A football player, imagine, the substitutes, a substitute. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=25) Go on, go on. For, it seems like more than thirty minutes. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=28) Ah, ah, sorry, then. It's just that, sorry, he, went to warm up for thirty minutes, it seems, so it isn't that he made him, him, clean the toilets in the locker room? Come on, he went to warm up, he went to warm up, he's on the bench, he went to warm up. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=40) But Jorge Jesus himself said it was his mistake. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=42) I, I don't understand that. Honestly, I don't understand how a coach says, "Look, the substitutes are going to warm up." So I went, I warmed up, and I didn't get on? [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=50) Yes, it happens. People have been talking a bit about… [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=53) No, because this is about egos, isn't it? [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=55) It's a, a matter of personalities that are incompatible. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=58) I don't think it is. I think the essence of this isn't incompatible personalities, because, for example, Paulo's, Paulo Bento's personality is very different from Jorge Jesus's and from, Carlos Queiroz's and Fernando Santos's. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=71) And yet, there has always been this problem. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=74) I think the essential issue isn't what someone's personality is, one is, has a bigger ego than the other, this one is stubborn, that one isn't. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=80) We have to make a decision, which is: who decides what happens in a team? Is it the coach or a player? [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=88) I was convinced it was a coa— that it was the coach. It is the coach. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=91) Does a player have the right to complain about, um, playing time, being a starter? [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=99) I would say no. But if so, I'm willing. If so, up to what age? Forty-one, fifty-one, eighty-one. When we buy a ticket to watch football, um, do we go to see the status? A status goal or... [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=113) That's not quite it, is it? Um, we're interested in the game, in the... [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=117) That's why, that's why players usually have a career that ends, um, no matter how good they are. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=124) Their career ends because status doesn't score goals. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=127) People who think Cristiano Ronaldo is still the best player in the world are insulting Cristiano Ronaldo, because to think that Does what he offers today have any possible comparison to what he was in 2017, it would be insulting to Cristiano Ronaldo to think: "No, no, I still see that." [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=144) Besides, there's no reason why he can't have it. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ARbSoUkUHO1H/en/cristiano-ronaldo-and-jorge-jesus-who-decides-on-the-team?t=147) Exactly. It's impossible.
