Dolores Aveiro had been quiet for days. Now she has spoken. Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother broke her silence after her son left Portugal’s training camp amid controversy.
“My son could have left through the big door, but he left through the small door”, she said, according to El Comercio. She said she cried a little and that getting it off her chest did her good.
She also revealed that she had asked him to stay calm before he left, but he decided to do what he did. She was blunt about the Portuguese: they don’t value him as they should. “That’s the Portuguese man we have”, she added.
Cristiano, for his part, accused Jesus of not keeping his word, although that’s only his version: the sources contain no response from the coach.
Did the captain deserve a different send-off?
