Martinez's “ban” for Cristiano Ronaldo revealed: “It's different…”

Hey Spanish newspaper satisfaction This Monday, the “veil” was lifted from the relationship between the main coach of the national team, Roberto Martinez, and the captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, on the eve of their entry into force, in the European Championship, against the Czechs.

The publication highlights the way in which the 39-year-old forward adhered to the coach's instructions, to the point that the second imposed an alleged “ban” on the first, leading to a “secret agreement” that ended up having notorious effects in terms of the environment experienced in training.

The coach will have made it clear that, contrary to what usually happens, the 'veteran' will not be able to take some trusted people, such as his friends, José Semedo and Miguel Baixao, to the team hotel, or now the businessman Ricardo Rijovi.

For his part, the Al-Nasr player did not put any obstacles in the way… and his teammates were grateful to him, according to a source he consulted with the media, who chose not to reveal his identity.

“His colleagues say he is different now, they can communicate with him much better, that he is closer at meals, during breaks, and that he is a more sociable and charming person.”
