Introduction
On October 19, Fabrizio Romano announced that the Portuguese Football Federation had officially suspended Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days and imposed a €255 fine.
The decision was reportedly made by the Portuguese Football Federation following an incident involving Cristiano Ronaldo.
Accusation and Argument
The incident was reportedly triggered by a heated argument between Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus, which had intensified recently. Ronaldo publicly accused Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus of breaking promises regarding playing time.
National Team or Ronaldo?
“I read the statement and now, like I do every day, I’m going to the Federation headquarters to work, to think about the Portuguese national team. I have nothing more to say.”
The argument was about Ronaldo’s view of broken agreements and the Portugal national team. During his comments, Jorge Jesus addressed the importance of the national team and clearly stated that selection decisions were his, causing the argument to reach another level.
Penalty and Backlash?
The €255 fine has received significant attention from fans, as the amount was viewed as small. This criticism is understandable, considering that Ronaldo is a multimillionaire.
Also, the 30-day suspension was viewed as a lenient punishment, as Portugal has no upcoming national-team matches during that period.
