Jorge Jesus defended his selection decisions concerning Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway. According to VnExpress, the coach said asking a player to warm up without subsequently sending him on was part of managing a match, and he did not believe an apology was required for that decision. Jesus also left open the possibility of Ronaldo returning to the national side. His comments followed the forward's departure from the training camp amid debate over his international future.
