Cristiano Ronaldo's mother reacts to his departure from Portugal team

Dolores Aveiro, the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo, has expressed her distress following her son's departure from the Portugal national team training camp. She described the situation as a shock, stating that her son deserved to leave the national team with dignity rather than under the current circumstances.

The controversy stems from disagreements between Ronaldo and the national team coach, Roberto Martinez. Ronaldo reportedly left the camp after feeling that a promise regarding his playing time—specifically an agreement to play 30 minutes during a Nations League match against Norway—was not honored.

Aveiro noted that she has provided her son with full support and mentioned that Ronaldo intends to explain the full details of the situation to her in person. Despite the tension, the veteran forward has expressed a willingness to return to the national team.
