Jesus is eager to work with Ronaldo once again.
Details: The new head coach of the Portugal national team, Jorge Jesus, made it clear that he has complete trust in Cristiano Ronaldo and sees no issues working alongside the legendary forward.
"Cristiano will never be a problem for the national team or for me. Cris is a symbol of Portuguese football," Jesus stated.
The coach also confirmed that the striker intends to continue playing for Al-Nassr, where he plans to end his professional career.
"He wants to stay at Al-Nassr and will finish his career at that club. Working with Cristiano is easy," the head coach added.
Thus, Jesus has made it clear that he is counting on the experienced forward for the national side and intends to maintain his crucial role within the Portugal squad.
Previously, Ronaldo stated that this World Cup would most likely be his last, and after Portugal's elimination by Spain, this issue has become even more pressing.
