The relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus was shaken on September 27, when the forward and captain of the national team did not appreciate the fact that he had been warming up for 37 minutes without being given any playing time in Norway-Portugal, played in Oslo. The relationship was left shaken and there is a later moment that results in a deep rift in the relationship between coach and player.
That moment did not occur in a training session, in a gym, nor even in a conversation between the two. That defining moment of what followed took place last Wednesday, when, in the preview of Denmark-Portugal - third matchday of the Nations League -, Jorge Jesus is asked about who would start the following day, replying to the journalist: "Gonçalo Ramos".
Now, it was at that moment that Cristiano Ronaldo, who was attending the press conference, accompanied by other people, gets up and says that he is leaving, considering that he was not doing anything there, that is, with the national team. From this moment began the process that ended with the captain leaving Copenhagen aboard his private plane.
