Cristiano Ronaldo has accused Portugal coach Jorge Jesus of twice breaking his word, saying a failed agreement to publicly explain his omission from the squad drove him out of the training camp, while insisting he remains available for international duty after any punishment.

In a lengthy statement, the 41-year-old gave his account of the dispute that prompted his departure from Copenhagen before Portugal's Nations League match against Denmark last week.

Ronaldo said Jesus had agreed a plan under which the forward would miss the matches against Norway and Denmark to manage his fitness. However, on the day of the Norway game, the coach told him he would play for 30 minutes.

"Everyone knows the rest. I warmed up from halftime onwards, watched the minutes tick by and wasn't called on," Ronaldo said. "The manager had broken his word to me."

Portugal's captain and all-time leading scorer said a subsequent meeting with Jesus, attended by his club Al Nassr's sporting director Simao Coutinho, produced an agreement for the coach to clarify events at his next news conference.

According to Ronaldo, an eight-point document was prepared stating that he had never demanded playing time, had respected Jesus's decisions, and that the coach asking him to warm up without bringing him on had been a mistake.

Ronaldo said the agreed notes did not require Jesus to apologize to him, but that the coach's public remarks bore no resemblance to their private discussion.

"It was the second time he had broken his word to me," Ronaldo said. "I decided to leave the training camp without waiting for any further broken promises."

On Sunday, after Portugal's win over Norway, Jesus denied having made any agreement with the player, while leaving the door open for his return.

The Portuguese Football Federation did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Ronaldo's statement.

Ronaldo apologized for failing to greet supporters after the Norway match and for leaving his teammates, acknowledging that his role as captain made his conduct more serious.

"The consequences of my actions must be assessed and punished by the Portuguese Football Federation," he said.

Despite the rupture, Ronaldo said he was not limiting his international ambitions to a farewell appearance.

"If I'm physically fit, playing for my club – scoring goals, I hope – after serving whatever suspension is imposed on me, I'll be available, as I've always been until now, to compete and win for our national team," he added.
