According to Record, after Ronaldo left the Portugal training camp in Copenhagen on Wednesday, the Portuguese Football Federation management did not communicate or explain the matter to the players. The players went to bed without an explanation, as if nothing had happened.

The Portuguese team is currently still in Copenhagen and will face Denmark on Thursday. That day, a series of events threw the team into chaos. At the afternoon press conference, Rúben Dias, sitting next to Gonçalo Ramos, downplayed the controversies of the previous days, but minutes later, events unfolded contrary to his statements.

Rúben Dias is one of the team captains and is now seen as the natural successor to the captain's armband. He stated: "I understand the issue, but if you look at today's training, you'll understand. You'll feel our joy, you'll see us smiling and in good spirits. We have entered a new cycle. For me, there are no unresolved issues. I think the whole team feels the same."

Regarding Ronaldo not staying to thank fans after the match in Oslo, Rúben Dias again defended his teammate. He said: "It was just a disappointment that lasted 10, 15, or 20 seconds. It doesn't diminish his 20-plus years of dedication to the Portuguese national team in any way."

Now, the situation has changed. After a brief calm, a storm has arrived.
