British commentator Piers Morgan invited Kaveh Solhekol, Sky Sports' chief football reporter, and former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan onto his show "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to discuss Ronaldo's withdrawal from the Portuguese national team's current training camp. This article is the second part of that discussion.

Kaveh Solhekol: "If this were about Arsenal, if it were concerning Arsenal, you'd absolutely take Arteta's side. You'd never speak up for the player, you'd never defend an Arsenal player and say: 'I promised him.'"

Piers Morgan: "Then let me give you a specific example – Aubameyang! I took Aubameyang's side back then, and I was actually right! We..."

Kaveh Solhekol: "That was a different era."

Piers Morgan: "But we didn't have a good striker for the next two years! I wasn't wrong. They should have resolved the conflict. Although his punctuality left something to be desired, he was an excellent striker. He had one of the best goal-scoring records at Arsenal, one of the greatest Arsenal strikers."

Kaveh Solhekol: "So you think Ronaldo should still be guaranteed a starting spot for the Portuguese national team? Because many Portuguese people don't see it that way."

Piers Morgan: "He doesn't believe that himself! Cristiano doesn't believe he should play every game from the start or play the full 90 minutes! That's not what this is about at all! Cristiano was told he would play 90 minutes in the first of these four Nations League matches, right? But he was already substituted after 67 minutes, and he was the first one taken off. Against Norway..."

Kaveh Solhekol: "That depends on the match situation! What happened on the pitch that day?"

Piers Morgan: "I'm just telling you what the manager told him privately, and then the manager repeated this promise before the game! Then the manager apologized to him privately and then criticized him at the press conference."

Simon Jordan: "Okay, that's your version, and you choose to believe that account. I don't lean toward either version; I'm objective and don't fully believe either side."

Piers Morgan: "The good news is we've already heard the manager's side publicly."

Simon Jordan: "But you haven't heard what he promised!"

Piers Morgan: "Why don't we ask Jorge Jesus: 'Is it true that you apologized to Cristiano privately? Is it true that you admitted you broke your word? Did you really do that?' And did the president of the Portuguese Football Federation also hear you say: 'I messed up,' is that right? Also, because he was originally supposed to rest against Norway, you said: 'Play 30 minutes,' and then let him warm up for nearly 30 minutes but never brought him on, is that right? In other words, have you treated Ronaldo like a mediocre player that anyone can walk over in recent weeks? I find that extremely disrespectful!"

Simon Jordan: "Once we get affirmative answers to those questions, I'll absolutely agree with you."

Piers Morgan: "That's why I'm asking these questions. I just want to ask this arrogant 'boss,' this 'Ten Hag of international football' – who, by the way, wasn't good enough to play for the Portuguese national team himself. To be clear, he was terrible as a player, and now he's humiliating the greatest player in Portugal's history and trying to degrade him, and I don't care how much Kaveh likes Eusébio, right? I find that completely disrespectful, just like Ten Hag, and it won't end well."

"I want to emphasize one more thing: as long as Ronaldo is healthy and fit to play, the immense commercial value he brings to Portugal cannot be ignored – he's the biggest draw for this team!"

Simon Jordan: "The key is winning matches."

Piers Morgan: "We'll just have to see how many spectators show up without Ronaldo."

Simon Jordan: "Alright, alright, that's your professional opinion."

Piers Morgan: "Messi is playing his farewell match for the Argentine national team this week, and it will be a huge celebration for one of the greatest players in Argentina's history, right? In my opinion, he's historically the second-best, only behind Maradona. But anyway, a great player is getting the dignified goodbye he deserves. And Ronaldo might never get a farewell match for the Portuguese national team, just because a manager thinks he's an arrogant 'boss' who he wants to humiliate. Do you think that's acceptable?"

Kaveh Solhekol: "It's actually very sad, but I can't say it's solely the manager's fault; many Portuguese people would say it's Cristiano's own problem."

Piers Morgan: "Don't you think the manager has a responsibility to be honest with a player like Ronaldo?"

Kaveh Solhekol: "The manager's responsibility is to do everything to win the match! If he feels during the game that it's better for the team not to use Ronaldo..."

Piers Morgan: "That's a decision! I don't think he's thinking about the team; I think he's doing all this just to be the one who brings Ronaldo down and exposes him! Well, good luck, Jorge, because what you really should do is thank Ronaldo for everything he's done as Portugal's greatest player!"

Simon Jordan: "The key to answering this question is: Do you feel regret and sadness? Because do we all need to worship at a small altar with Ronaldo's glorious achievements? I think he's an arrogant guy. He was like that at Manchester United – only because of his high status could he not handle criticism."

Piers Morgan: "How many goals did he score at Manchester United?"

Simon Jordan: "I don't care how many goals he scored!"

Piers Morgan: "I remind you, in the season before Ten Hag arrived, until the end of that season, he scored 24 goals! 18 in the league – exactly the same number of goals as Harry Kane that season!"

Simon Jordan: "But we're not talking about Harry Kane now! You just asked us if we're sad to see him go so respectfully."

Piers Morgan: "Was Ten Hag right to get rid of Ronaldo? Absolutely not!"

Simon Jordan: "Absolutely right! Don't you think Manchester United benefited?"

Piers Morgan: "No, I don't think anyone benefited!"

Simon Jordan: "The only one who benefited was you, because you got that big interview, right?"

Piers Morgan: "Are you the only one in the world criticizing this interview?"

Simon Jordan: "I remember you saying: 'Will he still be here next week?'"

Piers Morgan: "I can bring him back next week!"
