Jesus: Ronaldo's Status Won't Affect Playing Time

Portugal's new national team coach Jorge Jesus addressed the media after announcing his first squad, which includes Cristiano Ronaldo. The coach emphasized that while Ronaldo has a 'different status,' the past doesn't count and won't affect his decisions about the Madeira striker's playing time.

Jesus made it clear that Ronaldo will be treated like any other player: 'If he performs, he plays; if he doesn't perform, he doesn't play.' Ronaldo will turn 42 on February 5. solvita.blog
