Bruno Fernandes told his truth about the crossover with Cristiano Ronaldo: “In the video you could see that he was joking with me”

The indoor climate of the Portuguese national team does not seem to be the best, and it is that, in the icy greeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes in the previous match against Nigeria, in the last few hours a cross was hit between CR7 and Joao Cancelo added in the middle of a work out. The ‘Luso’ aim to make a good World Cup, and someone even dreams of making a big splash, but the terrible atmosphere in the locker room seems to complicate the undertaking.

In any case, when it seemed that the Portuguese prisoner was about to explode, two references came out to calm the waters: none other than Joao Mario and Bruno Fernandes himself.

The Benfica midfielder referred to the cross between his teammates and brought peace of mind: “It was a joke between them. Bruno was one of the last to arrive at the camp and Cristiano asked him: ‘Did you come by boat?’He explained.

The Manchester United midfielder, however, at first did not attach too much importance to the episode, and after scoring in Portugal’s defeat against Nigeria with a brace, he explained: “I have no problems with anyone.” Today, on his initiative or from the coaching staff, he decided to close the controversy, and explained the background of his alleged crossover with Cristiano.

“I was watching one of the channels that talked about it, they did it for 45 minutes. They criticized me, they said that I was cold and that my attitude was wrong. Suddenly they went on a break and from the national team they sent me the clip with the sound . With the sound you could see that Cristiano was joking with me, so the drivers came back, said it was a joke and cut thereFernandes said.

For many, Fernandes’ reaction had to do with Cristiano Ronaldo’s statements in dialogue with Piers Morgan, where he had come across more than a Manchester United manager and coaching staff member.

Fernandes, who also shares the dressing room with CR7 at United, would have been annoyed by the captain for his words, but now he clarifies: “This is the national team, Manchester United will be my goal after the World Cup”.

Finally, the driver asked him for an opinion on the interview that Cristiano had released days ago, and he closed: “I have not read the interview. Now it’s up to the national team, it’s Portugal. We have to be focused on the World Cup because a World Cup doesn’t always come. You don’t have the opportunity to play in a World Cup many times.”

Portugal is trying to leave the controversies behind to get fully into preparations for the debut in Qatar, which will take place next Thursday when the ‘Lusos’ face Ghana.

Cristiano, with one foot outside United

As it turns out, Cristiano Ronaldo’s last dance at Manchester United is about to end, and not as expected. The ‘Red Devils’ would have started the legal procedures this Friday to deal with the interview in which the Portuguese accused the entire structure of Manchester United, and among these there is also the possible termination of the contract.

For now, the Old Trafford club has contented itself with a small press release that warns only of the start of the process. “We have taken the appropriate first steps in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview. We will not comment further until this process has come to its conclusion.”explained United, to calm all those who are already asking for the Portuguese’s head.
