Cristiano Ronaldo has finally broken his silence in a lengthy 11-card post, Portugal captain says coach Jorge Jesus broke his word twice while apologising to fans and teammates for walking out of the national team camp.

Ronaldo writes that the new coach met him at Cidade do Futebol and proposed a plan for the camp.

“I would play the first and last matches, with several changes for fitness reasons,” he added.

I rejected a suggestion to skip the Norway and Denmark trip, arguing that a captain should not stay home while the squad travels, ” the Portuguese captain added. In his account, Jesus agreed.

In a Norway match, Ronaldo says an assistant summoned him at lunch, and Jesus asked whether he could play 30 minutes, and he agreed.

Ronaldo was an unused substitute in a 2-1 Nations League win in Norway on Sept. 27.

“I warmed up from half-time and was never called on, and the coach had failed to keep his word,” the Portuguese captain said.

Ronaldo says a meeting followed 48 hours later with Jesus and sporting director Simão Coutinho.

According to Ronaldo, the agreed solution was that Jesus would open his press conference by clearing up the matter.

Jesus was expected to clarify that Ronaldo had never asked for playing time and that warming him up without bringing him on was a mistake.

“No relation to that deal,” the coach said, describing an aggressive tone Ronaldo felt he did not deserve, saying “the second time” Jesus failed him, and he decided to leave.

CR7 does not spare himself, apologising for not greeting fans after the Norway game, calling it his own failing.

He apologises to teammates for leaving, and says responsibility is entirely mine.

Portuguese Football Federation should punish me, with no mitigating factors because a captain’s conduct carries extra weight, Ronaldo said.

Cristiano also addresses talk of a farewell match, saying there will be one or more in time. He recalls staying with the squad after news of his father’s death. If he is fit and playing for his club once any suspension ends, he writes, he will be available.

Jesus: “Apologise for what?”

Jesus’s public comments came before the letter, after Portugal’s win over Norway on Sunday.

Coach said he took responsibility for the decision, but asked, Apologise for what? To whom? He also said Ronaldo can return whenever he wants.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand had urged Jesus to apologise publicly and found no response from Jesus to the letter.

Ronaldo’s statement, with its sharp account of private meetings, leaves little room for a quiet reconciliation.

The federation’s response, and whether Jesus answers the letter, will decide the next chapter.
