Less than 24 hours after Cristiano Ronaldo went scorched earth and left Portugal’s camp, manager Jorge Jesus insisted he “did nothing wrong” in the build-up to the explosion that rocked the Seleção das Quinas.
Ronaldo announced his sudden departure on Wednesday following Jesus’s press conference, where the Portuguese boss stood firm on his decision to bench the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in the team’s 2–1 win over Norway. Jesus made sure his message was heard loud and clear with one defiant statement: “I’m the coach. No player will ever make a decision for me.”
