Ronaldo accuses Portugal coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his word twice

Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly accused Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus of twice breaking promises to him, saying a failed agreement to explain his omission against Norway drove him to leave the camp before Portugal's Nations League match against Denmark. In a lengthy statement, the 41-year-old insisted he remains available to the squad after serving any punishment. A public falling-out between Portugal's most prominent player and their head coach over selection and trust creates a serious distraction ahead of their Nations League campaign.
