Cristiano Ronaldo: Press statement

Cristiano Ronaldo has wanted to step out of all the speculation out there about his sadness with a statement through various social networks: "That I am feeling sad and have expressed this sadness has created a huge stir. I am accused of wanting more money, but one day it will be shown that this is not the case. At this point, I just want to guarantee to the Real Madrid fans that my motivation, dedication, commitment and desire to win all competitions will not be affected. I have too much respect for myself and for Real Madrid to ever give less to the club than all I am capable of. Abrazos to all madridistas". With these statements the Portuguese star wanted to reassure all Real Madrid fans assuring them that his involvement will be the same.

Cristiano Ronaldo training with Portugal

Yesterday Cristiano did not leave the Portugal team hotel throughout the day and the player made gym work to recover his left leg injury. The commotion that has been formed after his statements on Sunday have also caused that the hotel became a bunker unavailable to the press with police, plainclothes officers and private security guards watching.

It seems Cristiano Ronaldo will return to train with the group tomorrow and Friday will be available for Paulo Bento. Portugal will face Luxembourg in a qualifying match for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
