Ronaldo clashed with Jesus in the past few days after the Portuguese coach excluded him from participating against Norway, despite the striker warming up for a long time.
The veteran coach’s statements sparked the crisis when he insisted that “the Don” would not change his philosophy or plan, prompting the Al-Nassr Saudi star to immediately leave the Portuguese national team camp and head to Madrid before traveling to Riyadh to join his team, Al-Nassr.
Reactions were divided into two directions, with some criticizing Ronaldo's behavior and departure, arguing that his experience and status as a leader required him to respect the coach's decision.
On the other hand, others could not comprehend how this relationship between Ronaldo and Jesus deteriorated into a dispute so quickly, especially considering the strong bond that the pair had during their time together at Al-Nasr club.
One fan wrote: "Honestly, I love Cristiano, but you should realize that you are getting older, and you should have respected the coach's decision. Even if he asked you to warm up, he might bring you on later, or maybe he decided not to play you because of the circumstances of the match. You should have acted like a leader, not caused trouble and left on your own. Honestly, this behavior reflects a degree of arrogance."
Saudi fans quickly recalled the strong bond that united Ronaldo and Jesus at Al-Nassr club, as the Portuguese star was one of the strongest voices supporting the coach's continued presence, which makes the current dispute even more perplexing for them.
Another fan said: "I can't comprehend what's going on between Jesus and Cristiano. At Al-Nassr, it was Cristiano who fought for Jesus to come and coach the team and defended his continuation, and in the Portuguese national team he was also among those who supported the idea of appointing Jesus as coach."
A third fan added: "Their relationship at Al-Nassr was very strong, to the point that they stood by each other in the most difficult crises. So how can it end with a disagreement after Jesus' first two matches with Portugal? It's an unexpected shock."
Reactions poured in on the "X" platform, all expressing the same disbelief at the rapid collapse of a once very solid professional relationship that had been strengthened during their time working together at Al-Nasr Club.
