Cristiano Ronaldo Jorge Jesus Portugal fallout

So the whole Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus thing has fully collapsed. According to MisterChip, Jesus told CR7 he wasn't going to start against Norway or Denmark, but that he'd get minutes after the break in both games. Then he didn't follow through. Ronaldo spent close to thirty minutes warming up against Norway and never got told he wasn't going in. Hours after that, Ronaldo, Jesus and Pedro Proença, the Portuguese Federation president, sat down together. Jesus apologized there and said he'd explain the decision publicly so nothing got twisted. The opposite happened. Jesus went on to justify himself with comments that were reportedly offensive toward Cristiano about the call. That's when CR7 decided to walk out of Portugal's training camp. The relationship between the two is described as completely broken. What started as a playing-time disagreement turned into a full breakdown of trust between a coach and the biggest name in Portuguese football.
