Aveiro’s statements have fueled speculation regarding internal tensions within the squad and the potential for a rift between Ronaldo and team management. She hinted at a possible “plot” to diminish Ronaldo’s role, though she did not provide specific details. This comes as Ronaldo faces scrutiny over his performance in the tournament, raising questions about his continued importance to the national team. The allegations have ignited a national debate among Portuguese fans and media. The Portuguese Football Federation has not yet responded to Aveiro’s claims.
