"Apologise for what? To whom?"

At the press conference after Portugal v Norway, Jesus goes back to where the affair began: “The problem that caused this was the fact that the player had been warming up.” He owns the decision and refuses any apology — “I don’t apologise to anyone” — and when he is told of an apology he supposedly made, he answers flatly: “That’s a lie.” On the captain’s return, he repeats what he had said straight after the game: Ronaldo only stays away if he does not want to come back. “He is the one who will decide.”
