🅰️🅰️ Lionel Messi has delivered two assists in the same game for the 70th time in his career. Goal, assist, assist on his Argentina farewell game.

We are in a relationship. In my prime, I had everything: I was strong, handsome, rich, and influential. Now, I am getting older. Although I am still rich and influential, I am physically weaker, and it seems I can no longer satisfy you intimately. I told you that I was no longer interested because I felt I could no longer take care of you as I used to. You and your family members begged me to stay for one more year because leaving immediately would mean losing some commercial deals and benefits. I eventually agreed to stay for another year, on the condition that we would continue to be intimate. Then, we both decided to go on a two-week vacation to Zanzibar. On your ovulation day, you became s*xually aroused and started masturbat!ng. You told me to relax and that you would invite me to join you after your first orgasm. You had your first orgasm, then your second, then your third, but you still did not invite me to join you until you were completely satisfied. Seeing this as a breach of our agreement, and believing that you intended to keep me around primarily for commercial purposes, I left immediately. Once again, you and your family members followed me to the airport to persuade me to stay, but I remained firm in my decision and left. Now, your family, along with my longtime rivals and enemies, are calling me selfish and arrogant. They say I should have at least waited until the end of the vacation and that I should not have left the way I did. If this were you, would you have stayed? Was I wrong to leave when I did?

🚨💣 MAJOR BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo has decided NOT to retire from international football. Cristiano Ronaldo remains AVAILABLE for Portugal from November international break. More follows. 🇵🇹

🚨🇵🇹 CRISTIANO RONALDO’S STATEMENT — PART 2: “At the end of the match, I just wanted it all to end with a win and for me to be left alone. I didn’t go to greet the fans. A mistake for which I alone am responsible and which shouldn’t have happened. I apologize to the Portuguese who supported us fervently on site, to the fans, as well as to those who, without being Portuguese, may have traveled to see me and whom I may have disappointed. Forty-eight hours later, we had a discussion—the coach, Simão Coutinho, and me, since the latter had attended our exchanges from August. It was a deep, very frank exchange, with no filter at all. We agreed that there was only one way to close this “matter”: for the coach to repeat in the press room what he had just told me privately, in the presence of Simão Coutinho. What had been agreed was simple: the coach would start his press conference with this topic, seeking to close the matter by telling the truth. He would say that I had never asked to play a single minute, that it was he, and no one else, who had proposed this schedule for the camp, and that sending me to warm up without bringing me on had been a mistake he wouldn’t repeat. We ended that meeting with the coach asking me to hug him, promising me that he would say in the press conference what he had just told me and that we would turn the page. I wouldn’t play in Denmark, and I would feature in the match at the Dragão. All of this, still in the presence of Simão Coutinho. At the coach’s request, a videoconference meeting was then held between him, Simão Coutinho, and Tiago Craveiro, to summarize our exchanges. A short document was drafted, which I personally approved and which, to my knowledge, was handed to the coach, as he had requested. The press conference went as everyone knows: his attitude had nothing to do with the one from our meeting. I heard expressions and an aggressiveness that I don’t think I deserve, a “I want, I can, and I command” stance that he had absolutely never shown me privately the day before. The notes I had approved were as follows: “I think it’s important, especially since it’s the truth, to clarify certain things before talking about Denmark: I myself proposed a program to Cristiano, without anyone else’s intervention, for this season with the national team. We had a long and very good conversation. I know how much he lives for the national team and loves it, as well as the importance he has in the world. Even more so, I know his weight and his positive influence within the national team for twenty-four consecutive years. Cristiano accepted the program I proposed to him. He never questioned my choices. He was exemplary, loyal, and professional. The match in Norway was not part of the program I had set up for him. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically after the first match, and I warned him that I might need to have him play. Cristiano agreed. I made a mistake by sending a player of the stature of Pelé or Maradona to warm up, only to ultimately not bring him on. If I had to do it over today, I wouldn’t do it. To close the topic: I want Cristiano on the national team. And I don’t want him just a little—I really want him. Fortunately, he believes in me too. He believed in me at Al-Nassr, and he believes in me here as well. Regarding the fact that he didn’t greet the supporters, we’ve already talked about that. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team doesn’t need lessons from me on love for Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He’s the player who signs the most autographs, takes the most selfies, and shows the most affection to supporters. Let’s not invent problems where there are none. When we’re unhappy, we react. That’s all it was.” None of these notes provided for the coach to offer me apologies, then. It was the second time he had not kept his word to me. PART 3 BELOW ⤵️⤵️🚨🚨

🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “The coach had broken his word to me. At the end of the match I only wanted everything to finish with the victory and to be alone. I did not go to greet the fans. A failing that is solely my responsibility and that should not have happened. I apologise to the Portuguese who supported us intensely there, I apologise to the fans, and I apologise to those who, without being Portuguese, may have travelled there to see me and whom I may have disappointed. Forty-eight hours later we had a conversation — myself, the coach and Simão Coutinho — since he had been the one accompanying our conversations in August. It was a deep moment, very frank, without any kind of filter. We agreed that there was only one way to close this “case”: that the coach repeat what he had just told me in private, in the presence of Simão Coutinho, but in the press room. What was agreed was simple: the coach would begin the press conference with this subject, seeking to close the matter by telling the truth. He would say that I never asked to play any minutes, that it was the coach and no one else who proposed the plan for this camp to me, and that it was a mistake to put me on to warm up and then not bring me on, and that if it happened again he would not do it. We ended that meeting with the coach asking me for a hug, promising me that he would say at the conference what he had just said to me, and that the matter would be overcome. I would not play in Denmark and I would play the match at the Dragão. All of this in the presence of Simão Coutinho, always. At the coach’s request, a meeting then took place between himself, Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro by videoconference, in which what we had discussed was summarised. A short document was produced which I myself validated and which, with my knowledge, was delivered to the coach, as he had requested. The conference was what is known: the posture had nothing to do with our meeting; I heard expressions and an aggressiveness that I do not believe I deserved, an attitude of “I want, I can and I command” that he never showed me, not even remotely, in private the day before. The notes I validated were the following: “I think it is important, also because it is the truth, to clarify a few things before talking about Denmark: 1. I myself, and no one else, proposed to Cristiano a plan for him this sporting season with the National Team. It was a long and very good conversation. 2. I know how much he lives and loves the national team and the weight he has in the world, and even more the weight and the positive influence he has had on the national team for 24 consecutive years. 3. The plan I proposed to Cristiano was accepted. 4. He never questioned my options. He was exemplary, loyal and professional. 5. The match in Norway was not part of the plan I drew up for him. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically from the first match and I warned him that I might have to use him. Cristiano agreed. 6. I made a mistake by putting someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona on to warm up and then not putting him in the game. If it were today I would not do it. 7. To close the subject: I want Cristiano in the National Team. In fact I do not want him a little, I want him a lot. Fortunately he also believes in me. He believed at Al Nassr and he does here as well. 8. About not greeting the fans. We have already spoken about that. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team does not receive lessons from me on love for Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He is the player who gives the most autographs, takes the most selfies, and shows the most affection to the fans. Let us not invent problems where they do not exist. When we are not happy we react. That was all. None of these notes, therefore, said that the coach should even apologise to me. It was the second time he had broken his word to me”.

🚨💣 MAJOR BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo has decided NOT to retire from international football. Cristiano Ronaldo remains AVAILABLE for Portugal from November international break. More follows. 🇵🇹

🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I decided to leave the camp without waiting for any further breach of word. For me the truth is still the most important thing in the relationship between people. However much it hurts, let them tell me the truth. In fact, in a conversation I had with the President of the FPF and with the coach on the morning of the day of that press conference — they can certainly confirm this — I reaffirmed that if they did not want me there they should tell me. It was enough for them to be frank with me. I would accept that and I promised that we would prepare something beautiful, as I dream will happen, and no one would be left angry. I remember it as if it were today. They replied in unison that no. That my place was in the National Team. Never, at any moment, have I interfered in any technical or tactical decision of any coach or national team manager in almost 25 years of career. I accept, for better or worse, what they propose that I do. I respect the decision, and when they break their word to me, I feel that my place is not there. I also owe an apology to my national team teammates for having left the camp. Despite the absolute breach of trust in the coach’s word, as those who witnessed these conversations can attest, I should not have done it. The responsibility is exclusively mine. I apologise to the Portuguese people once again, but the breaking of one’s word has, for me, a defining impact. I felt that, from that point on, my remaining would only harm the working group, and I did what I have always said I would do if I did not feel useful: I packed my bags and left. The consequence of this act of mine must be assessed and punished by the Portuguese Football Federation. I understand that the punishment should have no mitigating factors. I am not just any player; I am team captain, and that constitutes an aggravating factor. I have already apologised, but I know that attitudes must have consequences. Anyone who is in football as I am knows that, regardless of each person’s status, the rules are the same for everyone. On this subject, I have heard a great deal of talk about farewell matches, that I must have a dignified farewell and that the Federation wants to give me that opportunity. I learned in life, often hungry and with nothing to eat, that no one gives anything to anyone. I can promise all my fans, naturally and especially all Portuguese people, that we will have one or more farewell matches; there will be time for that. But when I think of the national team, what I really think of is competing. That is what I thought on the day I was given the news of my father’s death. I was at a camp with our national team and I decided to stay there until the end of the match the following day. I did for the country what I would never do for any club. Therefore, if I am physically well, playing for my club, with goals I hope, after serving the suspension that may be applied to me, I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team. This is, believe me, the purest of truths. Cristiano Ronaldo”.
