CNN Portugal learned about Ronaldo's refusal to return to the Portuguese national team

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo does not intend to return to the Portuguese national team and is likely to miss the upcoming matches of the team. This was reported on October 19 by CNN Portugal journalist Ruy Santos.

"Cristiano Ronaldo does not feel indebted to anyone. He clearly adheres to the idea that he was not told the truth, that he was betrayed," he believes.

According to the journalist, the 41-year-old football player does not want to receive a call-up to the League of Nations meetings against Denmark on November 14 and Wales on November 17. It is noted that Ronaldo considers the attitude of the national team leadership to be inappropriate and remains convinced that he was betrayed. For this reason, the striker has no plans to resume playing for the national team.

At the same time, the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proenza, is trying to contact the player every day, but the situation has not yet been resolved, Sport-Express reports.

The day before, the Portuguese Football Federation disqualified Ronaldo for 30 days. The suspension period will allow the player to return to the national team for the next meetings of the League of Nations. The athlete was also fined €255.

Ronaldo announced on October 6 that he had no plans to end his career with the national team. He stressed that he was ready to be punished for leaving the location of the national team, without any mitigating circumstances, since the status of captain imposes additional responsibility on him.
