CR7 and Messi share headlines again

The words of Cristiano Ronaldo, who, among other things, even confessed to having been frustrated by the fact that Jorge Jesus did not follow a script, previously validated by himself, in the press conference forecasting the game against Denmark, quickly ‘invaded’ the headlines of international newspapers. And only Messi managed to overwhelm with the controversy of the eternal rival. 

Ronaldo even accused the national selector of failing with two promises, saying there is a breach of trust, but still he did not fail to congratulate Messi for closing a long chapter in the Argentine national selection. 

The Portuguese cracker turned to social networks to comment on the publication in which Messi pointed out the farewell, highlighting the way he “defended” Argentina over 21 years. 

“Leo, so many years defending your country and a story that will remain forever. All my respect for what you achieved with Argentina. A hug”, wrote CR7, in the comment box. 

Back to action in days of possible punishment 

Despite being turned around with Jorge Jesus, Al Nassr's forward expressed the desire to play again for the national team, even though he said he was aware that he would have to be punished by the Portuguese Football Federation for having abandoned the internship unilaterally – as is provided for in the regulation. 

The suspension may be known later this Friday, after the scheduled meeting of the Council of Discipline, according to the newspaper Record. In question, remember, it will be a penalty between one and six months, as well as a fine. 

On the fringe of the disciplinary issue that will face in national selection, Cristiano Ronaldo is, in any case, totally focused on Al Nassr's game, also this Friday, against Al Diriyah, by Bruno Lage, concerning the 8th day of the Saudi Arabian League. 

Game, punishment and... Botox. Cristiano Ronaldo returns to action today

Cristiano Ronaldo should be used in the departure of Al Nassr, scheduled for today, day when the Council of Discipline of the FPF may decide its punishment in the selection. Chasing Simon Jordan also gives us a chance to talk.
