Cristiano Ronaldo has said he has no plans to retire from international football, while admitting he deserves to be punished for leaving Portugal’s Nations League camp after claiming head coach Jorge Jesus twice broke his word.

The 41-year-old Portugal captain walked out of the squad last week after being left on the bench against Norway and subsequently learning that he would not start against Denmark.

Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, has scored 146 goals in 234 appearances for Portugal, both world records. He has also helped the country win Euro 2016 and the Nations League twice.

In a lengthy statement of almost 2,000 words, Ronaldo said the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) should hold him accountable for leaving the camp and impose the appropriate punishment.

“The Portuguese Football Federation must assess the consequences of my actions and punish me for them. I believe the punishment should not be reduced,” he said.

“I have already apologised, but I know that actions have consequences.”

However, Ronaldo also accused Jesus of an “absolute breach of trust”, claiming the coach first reneged on an agreement to play him against Norway before failing to honour a separate understanding over how the situation would be explained publicly.

Ronaldo said he and Jesus had initially agreed that he would sit out both the Norway and Denmark matches as part of a plan to manage his fitness.

However, on the day of the Norway match, Ronaldo said Jesus told him he would play for 30 minutes.

“Everyone knows the rest. I warmed up from half-time onwards, watched the minutes tick by and wasn’t called on,” Ronaldo said.

“The manager had broken his word to me.”

The forward said he later met Jesus and agreed that the coach would clarify the situation at his next press conference.

According to Ronaldo, an eight-point document was prepared ahead of the news conference. It stated that he had never demanded playing time, had respected Jesus’ decisions and that asking a player of the stature of Pele or Maradona to warm up without eventually bringing him on had been a mistake.

Ronaldo said the agreement did not require Jesus to apologise, but claimed the coach’s public comments were very different from what had been discussed privately.

“The conference was what is known: the attitude had nothing to do with our meeting,” Ronaldo said.

“I heard expressions and an aggressiveness I believe I did not deserve, a ‘high and mighty’ attitude that he never showed me, not even remotely, in private the day before.”

Ronaldo described this as the “second time” Jesus had broken his word and said he decided to leave the training camp rather than risk “any further broken promises”.

The Portugal captain also stressed that his decision to leave was wrong, despite his frustration with the coach.

He apologised to his team-mates and supporters, saying: “I owe an apology to my national team teammates for having left the camp… I apologise to the Portuguese people once again, but a broken word has, for me, a defining impact.”

Jesus, who previously managed Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, has denied that there is a rift between the pair. He said on Sunday that the door remained open for Ronaldo to return to the national team.

Ronaldo confirmed that he still wants to represent Portugal, provided he remains fit and continues to perform for his club.

“After my suspension period ends, I will be available, as I always have been, to compete and win with our national team,” he said.

Ronaldo had previously considered retiring from international football after this summer’s World Cup, where Portugal were eliminated in the last 16. He said he had even written a letter to supporters containing the words he intended to use when announcing his retirement.

However, he was persuaded to reconsider by FPF president Pedro Proenca during the flight home from the United States.

The dispute has divided opinion in Portugal, with Jesus receiving support from sections of the media and fans, while others have sided with the country’s most celebrated footballer.

Despite describing the situation as an “absolute breakdown of trust” in Jesus’ word, Ronaldo acknowledged that he should not have left the squad.

“The responsibility is mine alone,” he said.

Ronaldo has now returned to training with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia as he continues his pursuit of 1,000 career goals.

He has scored 979 times for Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr and Portugal.

Portugal won both matches against Norway and Denmark without Ronaldo and will return to action in November for their final Nations League group fixtures against Denmark and Wales.
