It was alleged that Cristiano Ronaldo was given a one-month suspension and a £215 fine on the grounds that he left the Portugal national team camp without permission. It was calculated that the 41-year-old star, who is stated to earn approximately £488,000 a day from Al-Nassr, could cover the said fine with only 38 seconds of income.
A striking penalty report has emerged regarding the crisis that began when Cristiano Ronaldo left the Portugal national team camp. It was reported that the star footballer, who is said to have had a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus, was given a one-month suspension and a fine of 215 pounds (approximately 14,240 TL). However, the most striking detail was the huge difference between Ronaldo's earnings and the amount of the fine.
HE EARNS THE FINE IN 38 SECONDS
It was stated that Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr, earns approximately 488,000 pounds per day. According to calculations based on this figure, the Portuguese star needs only 38 seconds' worth of earnings to cover the 215-pound fine.
START DATE OF THE SUSPENSION DREW ATTENTION
According to the information reported, the start date of the one-month suspension given to Ronaldo was set as September 30, the day he left the camp. Therefore, the star footballer is expected to complete his penalty before the national matches in November and not miss any official competition.
THE CRISIS BEGAN IN THE NORWAY MATCH
It was claimed that the disagreement between Ronaldo and the coaching staff began in the Norway match played on September 27. It was stated that the experienced footballer, who warmed up before the match but was not put into the game, reacted to this decision and then left the national team camp without attending three training sessions. It was reported that Ronaldo later went to Spain on his private plane.
LONG STATEMENT FROM RONALDO
After the events, it was alleged that Ronaldo published a 1,996-word statement criticizing Jorge Jesus. It was reported that the Portuguese star argued that he had been promised 30 minutes of playing time against Norway, but this was not fulfilled.
"I MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS"
It was stated that Jorge Jesus, despite the argument, did not compromise on his authority as head coach. The statement attributed to Jesus in the report included the following remarks:
"Status does not give players privileges; status is only respect for their careers. Whether it is Pelé or Maradona, no one is happy when they warm up for 20-30 minutes and are not put into the game; I understand that. The course of the match changed the plans and I did not put him in. I am a head coach; I make my own decisions, and no footballer in the world can change my mind." It was also reported that Jesus said the national team door would remain open to Ronaldo if he maintained his form.
