Without attending Jota s funeral, the chairman of the Portuguese Football Association defended Ronaldo: The outside world s remarks against him are very unfair

Portuguese Football Association Chairman Pronza recently accepted the Portuguese weekly Expresso to defend Ronaldo's absence from Jota's funeral.

"It is extremely unfair to say that Ronaldo is indifferent in this matter. The captain has been with us since the beginning. He is one of the people who are most closely connected with Jota's blood relatives. I reiterate again: the remarks against our captain Ronaldo are unfair. He is one of the people who can empathize with the people who are true friends of Jota. His absence at the funeral does not mean anything. He has never abandoned this big family."

Previously, according to the Portuguese media "Globe", Ronaldo has always kept in touch with close people around Jota and decided not to attend the funeral, thinking that this is the best choice. Ronaldo told Jota's family that he would always support them and had spoken with Jota's parents and his wife Rut.

According to the Mirror, the reason why Ronaldo did not attend the funeral was because he was worried that the impact of his personal appearance would overshadow the farewell scene of the Jota brothers' funeral. During those days, Ronaldo tried to keep a low profile and be with his family.
