Portugal’s deputy, Jorge Jesus, spoke of Cristiano Ronaldon after losing 1-4 to Denmark in the first match of the Portuguese national after the 41-year-old star’s announcement of the withdrawal from international football.

Asked if Portugal was missing Ronaldo, Jesus replied that fans would not forget his contribution for 23 years to nationals.

It’s normal for people to miss Ronaldo. They don’t forget what Cristiano has done for 23 years with the national team. This cannot be changed, Jesus declared.

Asked whether Ronaldo will be missing personally, the Portuguese coach gave an interesting answer.

How can I miss him when he’s gone national? The only thing I can miss is his company. He no longer plays, is not here and has already made a decision about his situation, Jesus declared.

It was Portugal’s first defeat under Jorge Jesus after four consecutive victories in the League of Nations. Despite the loss, Portugal remained at the helm of the 12 – point group.
