Cristiano Ronaldo stated, in a statement published on October 6, 2026, that he decided to leave the Portuguese national team camp after the coach, according to him, did not uphold an agreement regarding his participation in a match in Norway. He said he agreed to play for 30 minutes, went to warm up at halftime, but never got to enter. He also apologized for not greeting the fans after the match. Ronaldo recounted that, after the 2026 World Cup, he prepared a farewell letter and that the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) asked him to consider continuing. He said he supported the choice of the current coach, and that the coach proposed he play the first and last game, with rotations, and not travel to Norway and Denmark. Ronaldo stated that he refused to stay in Portugal and that the coach agreed. According to the player, the coach initially maintained the plan agreed upon in a conversation at his house, along with Simão Coutinho, the sports director of Al Nassr. Ronaldo said that he agreed to be substituted in a game in Alvalade without protesting and passed the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes. Regarding the match in Norway, he said he expected to play again only at the Dragão but accepted the offer to come in for 30 minutes. Ronaldo said that, 48 hours later, he arranged with the coach for him to explain at a press conference that the plan had been his initiative and that he had made a mistake by having him warm up without using him. He added that, at the coach's request, a document was prepared with Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro, validated by him and submitted to the coach. According to Ronaldo, the notes acknowledged that he accepted the plan and was loyal and professional but did not include an apology. The player stated that this was the second time the coach had failed to keep his word and that he decided to leave the camp because he felt trust was broken. He said that, on the morning of the conference, the president of the FPF and the coach assured him that his place on the team was still secure. Ronaldo took full responsibility for leaving the camp, apologized to his teammates and the Portuguese fans, and declared that the FPF should evaluate and punish the act, without mitigation, also considering his role as captain. Ronaldo added that there could be one or more farewell matches, but he associated the national team with competition. He said that after serving any suspension that might be imposed on him, he would be available to play and fight for victories if he was physically well and playing for the club. He also recalled that he stayed in a camp after learning of his father's death, until finishing the next game. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoPortuguesa #Futebol (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

André Guedes attributed what he considered to be the poor performance of the Mission to six factors, stating that five were true and one was false, without revealing which. He stated that a reduction in the reach of social media algorithms by the TSE would have harmed lesser-known candidates, keeping them confined to their own bubbles. He also said that Lula and Flávio polarized the dispute, and by avoiding debates, left Renan Santos speaking mainly to his supporters. According to Guedes, presidential candidates used to boost votes for parliamentarians, and less exposure reduced this conversion. Guedes also claimed that MBL did not have access to campaign dissemination in WhatsApp groups because it did not get close to the captain, while former members who did would have fared well. He also mentioned fewer financial resources and the lack of television time as factors. In his assessment, Renan Santos should leave MBL and join the Mission party, as the discourse to oust a president would be different from that necessary to be elected. Finally, he said that Nando Moura had made people aware of issues related to The Phallic Man and the black water tank, stating that the poor performance would be a consequence of that. #Política #Eleições2023 #Missão (translated)

André Guedes assessed that the Mission had a weak performance and presented six possible reasons, stating that five were true and one was false. According to him, changes in social media algorithms would have reduced the reach of lesser-known candidates, keeping them restricted to their own bubbles. Guedes also wrote that Lula and Flávio polarized the dispute and avoided debates, which would have left Renan Santos speaking only to his supporters. He stated that presidential candidates usually helped to elect lawmakers and that less exposure resulted in fewer votes transferred. In the author's assessment, the MBL did not manage to circulate content in WhatsApp groups favorable to Bolsonaro because it did not flatter the "captain"; former MBL members who did so, he wrote, fared well. Guedes also pointed to fewer resources and a lack of television time as factors. He said that Renan Santos should leave the MBL and join the Mission party, arguing that the discourse to take down a president would be different from that necessary to be elected president. Finally, he attributed to Nando Moura the effect of leading people to clash with "The Phallic Man" and the black water tank, which he called a consequence of what happened. #Política #Eleições2023 #Missão (translated)

"The pilot Smit Machchar, speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a hospital in the United Arab Emirates: 'I feel immense pride. At that moment, I was fighting for my life, but I realized that if I didn't get up and act – after being seriously injured and lying on the ground – no one else would do it. I have been flying planes for 17 years and have been a captain for 11 years, and I know what is happening on the plane, even with my eyes closed. I knew that it just took one more push to open the door. Despite my injuries, I opened it, and the rest of the crew came in and did their part. I knew I couldn't let the passengers die.'" #Heroísmo #Coragem #Aviação (translated)
