Taking to her Instagram account to defend her brother, Elma reshared a fiery post from a supporter and endorsed every word with the caption: “Everything was said on here.”
The explosive message shared on her account read:”CR7 deserved more respect. The national team deserved more structure. Portuguese journalism deserved more competence and less speculation.
“As for the Portuguese people, well… they don’t deserve to have the best at anything. We are envious, disdainful, ignorant, and we deserve to return to the mediocrity we always had in football before CR7. Thank you for everything, CR7! You deserved more!”
The comments have triggered intense debate across European football, drawing heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike who view the remarks as an unfair attack on supporters who have backed the national team for decades.

CR7, Joao felix has already hoped he’s the one to assist your 1000th goal. Just talk to postelogu for appearances in the Saudi league.
Messi, we have just been told, needs 2 more free kick goals to equal the highest record. Be sure MLS will find ways to make that happen in subtle ways
From referees to open defenses, it will happen. That’s how one uses one’s star power to “get everyone along”. Not even FIFA was spared lol.
Leave the national team alone especially as the discrepancy is suddenly coming from the same coach who vowed to win you the Saudi league last season and did it despite the unbeaten record of Al Hilal.
Some national team “influencers” must have told him not to pander to you because they are jealous of your enormous aura and since Mafia tends to be in any national team, read the room.
Leave Portugal alone. 2030 world cup in your country is too far to pursue, with those notice me Portugal players wanting to step into your role.
Now is the best time to quit there even if it will forever mean it’s because Messi quit first.
You won the euros and 2 nations league titles. Let fernandez and others think they can pull such feats without you now.
Lol
Spain is in a beastly form. France too. Not forgetting England and work in progress Germany. All with beastly coaches at the helm.
Those nations and emerging others will continually trounce Portugal henceforth.
Read the room. In 10 years time, Portugal won’t smell euros, UNL or world cup titles.
That’s legacy for you.
Quit now. Let Saudi teams help you reach those 1000 goals instead.
Half a season more left.
23 goals are doable.
With love from Sly lol
You can’t be bigger than the country and the nation. As a player you can’t tell the coach who to play and who not to play.
It’s football, don’t be deceived by emotions.
