## Article

Gonçalo Ramos has insisted that the national team will welcome Cristiano Ronaldo with open arms, regardless of the controversy surrounding the captain. The Milan striker made the comments on the Canal 11 programme “Soltinhos pelo Mundo” and said Ronaldo’s presence in the next squad in November would be welcome.

“If Cris goes to the next camp, we will be there. Above all because of his legacy, nobody is going to hold anything against him,” said the Milan striker.

## FPF punishment for Ronaldo

Ronaldo’s situation became complicated after the punishment imposed by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), which resulted in a 30-day suspension and a fine of €255. The sanction came after the player left the national team’s camp in Denmark following a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus.

The decision prompted a wave of comment and criticism about the player’s attitude and the impact it could have on the group.

## What Gonçalo Ramos argues

Gonçalo Ramos stresses that, despite his failings, the legacy left by Ronaldo must be respected. Including the captain in the next squad could be a test of the group’s cohesion and of the team’s ability to handle external pressure.

Ronaldo’s presence would bring his experience and the possibility of motivating the younger players and strengthening the national team’s identity.

Ramos also highlighted that the team must be able to set personal issues aside and focus on the common goal: representing Portugal in the best possible way. The troubled relationship between Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus may be a challenge to overcome, but everyone’s determination to maintain the unity of the national team is clear.

The squad announcement for the next camp will be decisive, as it could define the national team’s immediate future and Ronaldo’s role in the final phase of his international career. The decisions taken could shape the team in the coming competitions.
