“I don’t regret not leaving Ronaldo right away. The team played very well against the Swiss national team. Cristiano is a great player. He showed up when needed. I don’t regret anything. Don’t change anything, I can think with my heart for the team’s interests. Strategically, this is one of the hardest decisions. He was a man, but I have to think with my head, not my heart. That doesn’t mean that Ronaldo is. He’s not a great player anymore,” quotes Santos O Jogo.

Earlier, the newspaper As reported, citing the Record, that Ronaldo was very angry that he did not place in the top 11 in the 1/8 World Cup final in Qatar against the Swiss team (6:1). According to the publication, he argued with Santos about it and was ready to leave the World Cup. On Thursday, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) denied this.
