Is the Portuguese selection already on fire? In any case, the reunion did not fail to inflame the feuds, in the background, Cristiano Ronaldo’s harsh criticism of Manchester United. However, the handshake between CR7 and teammate Bruno Fernandes, was a challenge.
On Monday evening, the Portuguese Football Federation released a video from the dressing room, in which the attacking midfielder takes a moment to shake the scoop of his chosen captain before whispering a few words in his ear. Was it the friendly substitute from Bruno Fernandes or the more powerful tackle that left Cristiano Ronaldo speechless?
In any case, the sequence ran quickly on social networks. Portugal followers, in particular, are wondering about the prospect of a cold snap between the two Mancunian stars when CR7 just turned on their coach and some teammates in an interview broadcast on English television on Sunday night.
“I don’t respect him (Erik ten Hag, Manchester United coach) Because he shows no respect for me, he storms off on the show. Not just the coach, but two other players around the club. I feel betrayed. Yeah, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people didn’t want me here, not just this season, but last season as well. »
The Portuguese did not fail to criticize the club’s former glories such as Gary Neville or Wayne Rooney, whom he considers too critical of him. After this release, Manchester will consider breaking the five-year Ballon d’Or contract.
” I was only fooling “
The Portuguese media wondered if the discomfort between Ronaldo and his club did not accompany him in the selection, as Bruno Fernandes developed as well as Diogo Dalot, the Mancunian team. At a press conference, Joao Mario was obviously questioned about it. He gave his version of the facts. “I was in the dressing room at the time, Benfica midfielder explained. It was a joke between them. Bruno was one of the last to arrive and Cristiano asked him if he had come by boat. »
According to Mario, Bruno Fernandes and CR7 “have an excellent relationship because they play together”, “there will be no problem between them”. If the storm in the Portuguese dressing room is not one in the end, the call from Portugal is wondering. After this video, many questions targeted Ronaldo’s case.
Certainly the form of the Seleção captain, who lacks rhythm and playing time in MU, would have been debated without this handshake but Portuguese check Additional rumors could have been avoided. Fernando Santos’ men start the World Series against them Ghana November 24 (5 p.m.). Vitinha and his teammates have already trained on the field and in the gym. On Thursday, Portugal will face Nigeria in Lisbon in a friendly match, an aperitif before the World Cup.
