A former president of the Portuguese Football Federation criticizes Ronaldo and urges him to show humility.

Former Portuguese Football Federation president Gilberto Madaíl stated that Cristiano Ronaldo should have shown more humility towards the federation, while also defending national team coach Jorge Jesus.

Madaíl felt that "there was absolutely no reason for this crisis within the national team to arise," referring to the disagreement that erupted after Ronaldo left the Portuguese national team camp.
About a week after his surprising departure, rumors about the captain's future with the "Brazil of Europe" are intensifying, amid media reports suggesting the crisis between him and Jesus is escalating.
According to CNN Portugal, Ronaldo is extremely displeased with how the crisis is being handled and may not return to the national team "as long as Jesus remains in charge of the coaching staff."
This comes at a time when the Portuguese Football Federation is trying to ease the tension of the crisis, with the federation president describing what happened as a "misunderstanding," while Jesus denied any "incident" within the team.
However, Portuguese media presents a different perspective, as the national team has been experiencing an unprecedented rift between its coach and its star players for days.
Ronaldo left the national team camp without revealing the reasons for his decision, merely stating that the details of what happened will emerge "in due time."
The crisis primarily revolves around Ronaldo's relationship with Jesus, after the coach kept the player on the bench throughout the match against Norway, despite him warming up for about half an hour.
After the match, Jesus repeatedly emphasized that the decisions regarding the lineup are his responsibility, stressing his role in determining which players participate in the games.
During an interview with Portuguese radio station Renaissance, Madaíl explained that Ronaldo must acknowledge the federation's impact on his career and his rise to the level he enjoys today.
Madaíl pointed out that Jesus "did more than was expected of him," clarifying that prior understanding with the player regarding his participation in certain matches should have been considered by Ronaldo, which did not happen, according to him.
