Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in Jorge Jesus's first 25-man list as the new head coach of Portugal. The 41-year-old captain is stepping onto the field on the brink of the end of his career.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in the new list by Jorge Jesus, the new head coach of the Portugal national team, for the upcoming four matches in the UEFA Nations League. This 25-man list has just been announced, and Ronaldo, as the captain of this team with a brilliant football history, will still be present on the field.

Ronaldo's Background and Future Challenges

Ronaldo, who mentioned the possibility of his retirement last August, specifically noted that next year might be his last year of playing. This 41-year-old player has an unparalleled experience of playing in major teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, along with five Ballon d'Or awards. He is currently active in the Saudi team Al Nassr.

Jorge Jesus's Decisions and Looking Ahead

In a press conference on Friday, Jesus said about Ronaldo: "His performance is the most important point. The past does not matter." He also added that there are 13 players in this list who have previously worked with him and that decisions will be made based on the players' performances. Jesus emphasized that Ronaldo is in this list like other players, and if he performs well, he will take the field.

Jesus has recently been appointed as the head coach of Portugal and will lead his first match at home against Wales on September 24. Portugal will then travel to Norway and Denmark, facing these teams on September 27 and October 1, respectively. Finally, the return match against Norway will be held at home on October 4.

These changes in the coaching staff and Ronaldo's presence in the list have attracted the attention of many football fans. Portugal is currently seeking new successes in the UEFA Nations League and aims to make up for past failures. Can Ronaldo help the team in this journey and shine once again on the brink of retirement?
