Jose Mourinho described via his social media accounts that the statements circulated about him were: "Fake news, I have no comment."
The Real Madrid coach denied discussing this matter, and Mourinho does not wish to participate or express his opinion on these events due to his great respect for the Portuguese Football Federation, the national team coach Jorge Jesus, and star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Statements attributed to Jose Mourinho had circulated over the past few hours, reported by Brazilian media, in which he said: "Cristiano loves winning, he has ego, and this ego drives him to score goals, win titles, and set records. This is natural, but he must know how to control his ego. Football will not wait for him, his body is no longer what it used to be. Jesus is a good coach who knows how to deal with big names and is not afraid of them. He made a decision and believes it will benefit the team."
