Ruben Neves has tried to play down the media attention around Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational interview with Piers Morgan ahead of Portugal’s World Cup campaign.
“There is no controversy inside the changing room,” said Neves when asked about Ronaldo’s interview. “So it is impossible for us to fear any impact around that controversy as there is no controversy inside the changing room.
“This controversy exists in the media, not in the changing room. It has been all said. We are 100 per cent focused on our World Cup campaign. We have a spectacular environment in the national team. That is our focus.”
