The mother of Portugal football captain Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolores Aveiro, said her son is not valued at home. Her remarks were reported by A Bola, citing an interview with TV7 Dias.
"He has done so much for Portugal, so his achievements will not go away. He was always a hero for Portugal. He is not valued as he should be," Aveiro said.
In late September, the forward came on as a substitute in the second round of Nations League group-stage matches against Norway (2:1). The 41-year-old Ronaldo then left the national team's camp after a press conference by head coach Jorge Jesus, at which he said the forward would not be in the squad for the next match.
Media reported a possible end to the forward's career with the national team. On Tuesday, Ronaldo spoke of a "breach of trust" on the coach's part, apologised to his teammates and fans and expressed readiness to return to the squad after a possible disqualification.
Aveiro admitted she was shocked by what happened.
"I am sad, that is normal. It was a shock. My son could have left through the front door, but he left through the back door. But nothing terrible, God will take care of everything. I cried a little, that is also useful — to let out emotions. We need to cope with all of this."
Ronaldo is a 2016 European champion and also holds the record for the most appearances (234) and goals (146) at international level.
