We have different ways of analyzing the situation.

Manchester United, if I'm not mistaken, paid 25 million euros for the transfer and taking into account the amount you mentioned of 500k a week in salary, I had managed the thing differently, but I don't own any company or any club .

We are saying that CR7 is a cost of 24 million per year (500k * 4 weeks * 12).

If the coach wasn't really counting on him anymore, nobody can convince me otherwise, even if the club had sold him for 10 million euros (something that wouldn't be difficult) in reality the club at the end of the year had another 34 million in cash (not counting the jerseys sold) and at the moment he will receive 0 for the player and he spent half a year paying his wages.

As a federated handball player/practitioner I learned that the club never gains much by forcing a player to stay at the club against his will. I'm not defending that CR7 acted well in the summer, I'm simply analyzing the issue at the club's management level.

Regarding the Portuguese natinal team, which is where my post focuses, I keep saying that Portugal does not deserve CR7 and that the Portuguese, especially the average, have a very short memory, just look at the importance he has had for our team in this last 20 years.

The coach said that and very well because journalists are trying to find a subject where there is none.

He greeted the fans, he was the one who told his teammates to go greet the fans, he was the one who spoke in the locker room before the game and he went to celebrate all the goals with his teammates.

Where is something he did wrong here in the game against Switzerland? And honestly I can't see...
