Ronaldo left the Portugal national team camp early following a dispute with the coach
Portuguese national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo left the team’s training camp and missed the last three training sessions following a conflict with head coach Jorge Jesus.
The 41-year-old soccer player was unhappy with the coach’s decision not to put him in the game during the Nations League match against Norway. When Jesus publicly stated at a press conference that he could not guarantee the forward a spot in the starting lineup for the next game against Denmark, Ronaldo immediately headed to the airport and left the team’s training camp on a private jet.
The match against Denmark is scheduled for October 1; currently, the Portuguese national team leads Group A4 of the tournament with six points after two rounds.
