Bruno Fernandes, captain of Portugal's national soccer team, spoke about a conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal's shocking early exit from a tournament. Ronaldo, 41, was left out of the starting lineup by new manager Jorge Jesus in a match against Norway on March 25th where Portugal won 2-1. Ronaldo then departed for Madrid before Portugal played Denmark and did not participate in that game either. Fernandes assured Ronaldo that he remains "the greatest symbol" of Portuguese football, emphasizing his importance to the country both domestically and internationally despite recent controversies.
