Cristiano Ronaldo fitness confirmed amid dispute with Jorge Jesus
Tensions continue to surround the relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Jorge Jesus following recent incidents involving the Portuguese national team. Al Nassr coach Ange Postecoglou has addressed concerns regarding Ronaldo's physical condition, stating that the 41-year-old forward is “fit and ready to play” despite his recent departure from the national squad.
Postecoglou declined to comment on the specific friction between Ronaldo and Jesus, noting his own past experience as a national team coach. Meanwhile, Brazilian football legend Romario has weighed in on the dispute. While expressing respect for Jorge Jesus, Romario suggested that if Ronaldo's account of the coach's broken promises is accurate, the player's reaction was justified, though he criticized the timing of Ronaldo's departure.
