I thought he would come back. I had definitely planned to call him up, says Jorge Jesus at a press conference where he presented the national team squad for the upcoming Nations League training camp - the day after Ronaldo’s announcement.
He felt it was the right time to stop, and that must be respected. We can never forget what he has meant to Portugal, what he has contributed to the country or the fact that he is a role model for younger players.
In September, Ronaldo got into an argument with Jorge Jesus after being benched against Norway in the Nations League. Ronaldo left the national team training camp and, a few days later, attacked Jorge Jesus in a statement.
