Para explicar por que deixou a seleção de Portugal na última Data Fifa, Cristiano Ronaldo publicou um comunicado longo, com acusações e críticas a Jorge Jesus. Nos bastidores, porém, a movimentação do atacante de 41 anos foi outra, conforme a imprensa britânica.

Pela norma disciplinar da Federação Portuguesa, o jogador poderia ficar até seis meses suspenso e pagar multa de no máximo 1000 euros (R$ 5.640). A punição final ficou em 30 dias de gancho, período sem partidas da seleção, e 255 euros (R$ 1.446 pelo câmbio da época).

Já a quantia cobrada do atleta mais bem remunerado do planeta (R$ 1,5 bilhão anual, segundo a revista Forbes) virou motivo de piada. Ainda assim, ele lutou para pagar pouco e ficar menos dias afastado.

O diário britânico revelou que, num documento juntado à sentença com as punições, o português apresentou três argumentos para tentar uma pena mais branda: o histórico disciplinar da temporada em curso e das três anteriores, os serviços prestados ao futebol e a relação de títulos conquistados pela seleção. Também entraram no texto conquistas individuais (as cinco Bolas de Ouro) e homenagens do governo português e de outros países.

Os responsáveis por julgar o mérito acataram os pedidos e cortaram pela metade a pena definida em um primeiro momento.
