Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has denied that he
threatened to leave the squad at the 2022 World Cup.
In a post on social media, the 37-year-old claimed “external
forces” are trying to break up the group.
“This group is too united to be broken by external forces. A
nation too brave to be intimidated by any adversary.
“This is a true team, that will fight for the dream until
the end,” Ronaldo wrote.
According to Record, Ronaldo informed head coach, Fernando
Santos, he might fly out of Qatar after discovering he was dropped for the
last-16 clash against Switzerland.
The former Manchester United forward is said to have calmed
down eventually, realising his departure could negatively impact the team.
The Portugal Football Federation has also debunked these
claims.
