Portuguese legend, António Simões has raised a question about Cristiano Ronaldo regarding his future with the national team.
Simões spoke after the Al-Nassr forward released a statement on Tuesday, which laid out the controversy and the circumstances behind his exit from the Portugal team camp.
“I am not speaking for [Cristiano] Ronaldo, nor for [Jorge] Jesus, I am defending common sense,” Simões said, according to Portuguese media outlet A Bola.
“If Ronaldo wants to play, there is no harm in that, but he must understand that wanting to play doesn’t mean playing the full match.
“I have some doubts about that [Ronaldo helping the Portuguese team]. I played alongside Eusébio, known as ‘the King,’ I have never seen anything like this happen around a ‘King’.
“A 41-year-old man is still playing football… shouldn’t he stop?” he asked.
