The Portuguese national team, led by Jorge Jesus, has begun to reorganize its affairs following Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden departure from the team camp, amid speculation about his retirement from international football.
Ronaldo, aged 41, left Portugal's camp before the match against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League, following statements made by Jesus at the press conference.
Who will wear the captain's armband instead of Ronaldo?
According to the Portuguese newspaper "Correio da Manhã," the national team's captaincy has become a point of competition between Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.
Jorge Jesus will decide on the identity of the new captain before the match against Denmark, scheduled for tonight at 9:45 PM.
Ronaldo's crisis began with the Norway match
The origins of the dispute between Ronaldo and Jesus date back to the match against Norway, after Jesus kept the player on the bench throughout the game, despite his participation in warm-ups, before the Portugal captain headed directly to the dressing room immediately after the final whistle.
