"Cristiano Ronaldo made one mistake there, he should have told him to go to h**l!" - Romario defends Portugal star amid rift with Jorge Jesus

Brazil legend Romario believes Cristiano Ronaldo should have told Jorge Jesus to 'go to h**l' after he broke his promise in the Portugal press conference. The former footballer claimed that he would have done the same thing as the Portuguese superstar if he were in a similar situation.

Speaking on the Charla Podcast, Romario said Ronaldo felt betrayed by the coach after he broke his promise to apologise at the press conference. He stated that no player would trust the coach a second time if something like that happened, as it would expose the player to more pressure and abuse from fans.

He said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a guy who seems like a very objective guy. If the guy doesn't deliver, the guy was a bad person.

But the guy abandoned the national team. Of course, the guy already embarrassed himself once.

The guy [Jorge Jesus] didn't keep his promise to him [Ronaldo]. Why would he go through it a second time?

Cristiano says that after warming up and not playing. in the locker room, Jesus told him: 'Sorry, I should have put you in.

I'll talk at the press conference'." "And at the press conference, he didn't say anything. Yes, some things they agreed for him to say at the press conference.

The guy didn't say sh*t. According to Ronaldo, he was arrogant, he was cocky.

Yeah, it exposed Ronaldo, and in that condition, he felt like a guy who was discredited and had no relevance, and he left."
