Jesus responded sarcastically to a question about missing Ronaldo's services in statements reported by the Portuguese newspaper "A Bola," saying: "Do I miss him? Hjjújjh⁶e's gone, so why would I miss him? Maybe just to keep me company (on the bench), but he's not playing anymore, he's not here anymore, and he's made his final decision about his future."
These controversial statements came after the Portuguese national team failed its first official test since Ronaldo announced his retirement from international play on November 5, a decision that came as a result of a dispute with Jesus, following the exclusion of the Portuguese star from the match against Norway during the previous international break, which Portugal won 2-1.
Ronaldo is the all-time top scorer for the Portuguese national team and holds the record for the most international appearances, having scored 146 goals in 234 matches for his country. His last international appearance was against Wales on September 24, in a match that ended with Portugal winning 1-0.
