In a detailed statement released on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo said Portugal manager Jorge Jesus had consented to deliver an eight‑point briefing ahead of the side’s match in Denmark. Ronaldo confirmed the plan was finalised during a video call that also involved his adviser Tiago Craveiro and Al‑Nassr sporting director Simão Coutinho.

Ronaldo added that the promised eight points were never presented, noting that the missing statement would have featured a striking comparison of the Norway incident with legends Pelé and Maradona. The omission was described as a ‘never‑said’ confession that remains unreleased.
