After exploding against the
leadership and the coach of the Red Devils, CR7 joined the training of his team
with his mind set on the 2022 Qatar World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo made public his
enormous dissatisfaction with the situation he is going through at Manchester
United. He pointed directly against the leadership and the current coach, so
the relationship seems completely irreversible. After his explosive statements,
CR7 joined the Portugal National Team today with his mind set on the 2022 Qatar
World Cup.
In the midst of the great
commotion generated by the repercussions of his statements, the Portuguese star
landed in his native country and made himself available to coach Fernando
Santos. He did field exercises and then went to the gym, looking to get to what
will be his fifth World Cup in the best possible way. Before traveling to
Qatar, Portugal will play a friendly with Nigeria to say goodbye to their
people this Thursday at 3:45 p.m. at the Alvalade stadium.

What seemed to be a moment of
celebration turned into an alarm in the concentration of Portugal, one of the
selected ones that goes to Qatar to fight for the title. A video from the
Portuguese federation showing the squad meeting in Lisbon revealed a moment of
tension between captain Cristiano Ronaldo and another of the team’s figures,
winger Bruno Fernandes.
Ronaldo and Fernandes are
teammates at Manchester United. They met again in the locker room of the
Portuguese concentration, in Lisbon, prior to a friendly against Nigeria, prior
to the departure for Doha. The images are forceful: Ronaldo extends his hand to
Fernandes, who greets him coldly and makes a comment that leaves the great
symbol of Portuguese football with a disgusted face. Media from that country
point out that the episode is a consequence of Ronaldo’s extreme statements
against Manchester United and his coach, Erik Ten Hag, whom he accuses of
having “betrayed” him.
It is common for Cristiano
Ronaldo to be in the news for some spectacular goal or breaking records with
his metrics, although this second season after his return to United, the news
about the Portuguese pointed to internal conflicts or chances of emigrating,
such as the versions about contacts with Barcelona, Atlético Madrid , Milan or
Napoli.
In the World Cup, the Portuguese
team will debut with Ghana on November 24, then they will face Uruguay
(November 28) and will close their participation in Group H with South Korea
(December 2). Cristiano Ronaldo will arrive as the emblem of his team and main
figure.
