Jorge Jesus said he had read Cristiano Ronaldo's statement and was returning to his work at the federation, Dân Trí reported, citing A Bola. Earlier, while watching Portugal's U21 side in Leiria, he had said he needed to read the statement before commenting. His subsequent response did not address Ronaldo's individual allegations about their discussions during the recent camp. The dispute concerns the forward's departure from that gathering; the report does not establish permanent retirement from Portugal duty.
