Portugal coach responds after Ronaldo leaves camp
Portugal coach Jorge Jesus said he stands by his decision not to play Cristiano Ronaldo after he left the team camp.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Ronaldo leaving Portugal’s camp, and both link it to his absence from the upcoming Denmark match. Al Jazeera frames the story around reports of a rift with coach Jorge Jesus and adds only that Ronaldo did not play in Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway and will miss Denmark. France 24 uniquely attributes the account to Ronaldo saying he walked out after Jesus announced he would be dropped.
