Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will not quit Portugal's national team but will accept punishment for leaving the national team's training camp early after a row with coach Jorge Jesus. The 41-year-old left the national team's training camp last week after he was not used in the Nations League game against Norway and was then told that he would not be in the starting eleven for the following game against Denmark. Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, has already scored 146 goals in 234 international matches for Portugal - both world records. He also helped his country win the 2016 European Championship and the Nations League twice. In a lengthy statement spanning almost 2,000 words, Ronaldo said he needed to be held accountable for his behavior. At the same time, however, he accused coach Jorge Jesus of a "complete breach of trust" because he had initially told him that he would play 30 minutes in the game against Norway. Ronaldo said: "The Portuguese Football Association must assess the consequences of my behavior and punish me for it. I believe the punishment should not be reduced." He added: "I have already apologized, but I know that actions must have consequences." Ronaldo made the comments after an interview Jesus gave to the newspaper "A Bola". in which the coach claimed that there was no rift between him and Ronaldo. Jesus said the door was still open for Ronaldo. Ronaldo said: "As long as I am physically fit, play with my club and hopefully score goals, I will continue to play for the national team." "After my sentence, I will, as always, be available to compete and win with the national team." In his statement, Ronaldo discussed the reasons for his early departure from the national team camp last week, criticizing Jorge Jesus. He claimed that the coach had negotiated a plan with him whereby he should not play the games against Norway and Denmark in view of his fitness. Ronaldo said: "But on the day of the Norway game the coach told me I would play 30 minutes." "Everyone knows what happened next. I warmed up to be substituted in the second half, but I didn't play." A subsequent conversation between Ronaldo and Jesus led to the conclusion that the coach would clarify some points in his next press conference. Ronaldo explained: "I had prepared an eight-point document saying that I never asked to play, that I respected Jorge Jesus' decisions and that it was a mistake to ask me, someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona, to warm up, without bringing me into the game." "The coach should present the document at his next press conference." "It was a document that did not necessarily require an apology from him to me. But the public statement on his part had nothing to do with the agreements we had." Ronaldo accused Jorge Jesus of displaying a "haughty" attitude at the press conference that he had not shown towards him. He said: "The attitude he showed towards me was always respectful. But in the press conference it was the opposite." Ronaldo explained that he no longer trusts Jesus and that there had been a breach of trust before. He said: "It was the second time he broke his word to me. And I have decided to leave the national team camp without waiting until there are further breaches of word." Although Ronaldo had always been happy with Jorge Jesus before, that changed when he was appointed national coach. Ronaldo said: "I never gave him my trust and that was the reason for our break." After Portugal's elimination in the World Cup round of 16 against Morocco, Ronaldo had considered a possible retirement from the national team after the World Cup, but did not want to announce his resignation on the plane as he returned home with the Portuguese Football Association officials log. He explained: "I wanted to give the fans a letter saying that I was leaving the national team. But I didn't want to hand that letter myself, I wanted the president of the Football Association to take it from me and then give it to the fans." Ronaldo added: "The president of the football association has asked me to refrain from such a resignation."

What happens next

The Portuguese Football Association is expected to investigate the incidents surrounding Ronaldo's early departure from training camp and impose an appropriate punishment. Ronaldo has already stressed that he wants to accept the consequences of his behavior, suggesting that he is ready to take responsibility for his actions and continue playing for Portugal.
