After Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway in the UEFA Nations League, which secured their spot in the quarterfinals, Portugal's head coach Jorge Jesus spoke to RTP about Ronaldo's earlier departure from the team's training camp in Copenhagen.

On Ronaldo's departure and potential return
Jesus said: "I don't know what will happen next. As far as I'm concerned, there's always room for discussion. Ronaldo has to decide his next steps himself. For the next call-up, if Ronaldo is still playing and willing to play for Portugal, why not? Are there any hard feelings? Not at all, it was just a misunderstanding. In my opinion, it's easily resolved. When will it be resolved? I don't know. The match just ended, and we'll see how things develop afterwards."
On this match and four consecutive wins since taking over as Portugal's coach
Jesus stated: "I don't need to elaborate on all our expectations for this team. Our performance at the World Cup speaks for itself. The opponent currently has one of the world's best centre-forwards and Ødegaard, who is one of the best second strikers in the world. This is a very well-rounded team, with tall and physically strong players. You can only defeat this team by demonstrating a sufficiently high technical level; otherwise, you simply cannot compete with them.
We won, and although we didn't play as well as we did against Denmark, the important thing was to win and advance. Four matches, four victories. Although I have great faith in this team, I might not have expected such results when I first started coaching. Next, we'll wait for the last two matches during the next call-up."
