Hupu, August 2, recently, Portuguese Football Association Chairman Pronza talked about the incident of Ronaldo's absence from his teammate Jota's funeral in an interview with the Express. The former firmly denies the outside world's criticism against Ronaldo.

According to Portugal's "Ball", Pronza bluntly said, "It is very unfair to say that Cristiano plays a somewhat cold-hearted role in this matter. From the beginning, the Portuguese captain has been with us. He is one of the people who are most closely connected with the Portuguese national team family and Jota himself. I say again, their evaluation of our captain is not fair. Cristiano is the person who feels the deepest about Jota's death because he is Jota's real teammate. Cristiano's absence at the funeral is of great significance because he has never abandoned this family."

Previously, according to media reports such as the "Ball" Ronaldo decided not to attend the funeral after discussing with Jota's family, because the Portuguese superstar did not want to blur the starting point of the funeral.
