Ronaldo Breaks Silence on Portugal Camp Exit, Citing ‘Broken Promises’

Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday gave his account of the events leading up to his departure from Portugal’s national team camp, saying a dispute with the coach stemmed from “broken promises.”

The Portuguese star identified those promises as the cause of the disagreement that preceded his exit. The summary of his remarks did not specify what had been promised.

Ronaldo also apologised for leaving the camp, acknowledging his own conduct while setting out his explanation for the dispute.

His apology extended to supporters, whom he had failed to greet before departing. His account addressed both the disagreement behind the scenes and his actions toward the fans.
