Bruno Fernandes, captain in Copenhagen: "There are no divisions in the national team here"
Cristiano Ronaldo nunca deixará de ser o maior símbolo da nossa Seleção, no nosso futebol e do país.
TranslationCristiano Ronaldo will never stop being the greatest symbol of our national team, of our football and of the country.
On the eve of Portugal v Norway, Bruno Fernandes — who wore the armband in Denmark and is expected to wear it again at the Dragão, with Cristiano Ronaldo absent once more — faces the press and says he has already spoken to the captain. He insists the squad spent the days in the players’ lounge “playing cards”, outside the controversy, and asks that “the country does not divide, does not take sides, and respects every side”. The rule, he says, is the one any household follows: “Every house should settle its affairs behind closed doors.”
