According to Globo Esporte, Henry, Ferdinand, and A. Vidal have voiced their support for Cristiano Ronaldo following his departure from Portugal's national team camp before the UEFA Nations League match against Denmark, which Portugal won 4-2.

Among the three, Ferdinand has the closest connection to Cristiano Ronaldo. The former English center-back was teammates with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United from 2003 to 2009, and together they won the UEFA Champions League title in the 2007-08 season and three consecutive Premier League titles, along with other honors.

Ferdinand used social media to call for respect for his former teammate's career and questioned the criticism directed at Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years. He said: "Where was Portugal before Cristiano Ronaldo arrived? What did they achieve? They struggled just to qualify for major tournaments. What does that amount to compared to winning trophies? What bothers me is that many people have only judged him based on the last three or four years."

Ferdinand also discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's time at Juventus, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, arguing that his career should not be judged solely on his current situation. He said: "I think many people should look back—at his performance at Juventus, his time at Real Madrid, and Manchester United. It's almost like three world-class careers combined."

Henry also voiced his support for Cristiano Ronaldo. The French striker said on RMC's "Rothen s'enflamme" program that the controversy involving Portugal should not be used to redefine Cristiano Ronaldo's career. Henry said: "They should resolve their own problems. We in France have our own issues too. To judge an entire career based on this incident? Absolutely not. When I think of Cristiano Ronaldo, I will never think of this."

Former Flamengo and Chilean player A. Vidal offered the most direct criticism of Jorge Jesus. He called Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Portugal's national team camp a "disgrace" on social media, stating: "For a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's caliber—one of the top four players in football history—to leave the national team in this manner is absolutely disgraceful."

A. Vidal also criticized the Portuguese coach, believing the team should have protected Cristiano Ronaldo. He said: "I think the coach's approach was terrible. Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to be cared for and protected. He gave everything for Portugal, making the country one of the strongest teams in the world. A player like this should not leave in this way. Cristiano Ronaldo has the right to do whatever he wants. Some coaches don't respect that."

Cristiano Ronaldo departed from Portugal's national team camp after Jorge Jesus confirmed he would be a substitute in the match against Denmark. Cristiano Ronaldo subsequently announced his decision to leave the camp. He did not play, and Portugal defeated Denmark 4-2 in the UEFA Nations League.
