After Ronaldo's retirement: the new captain of the Portugal national team

Bernardo Silva has been appointed captain of the Portugal national team following the retirement of Cristiano Ronaldo. The decision has sparked resentment from Bruno Fernandes, who expected to receive the armband. Gonçalo Ramos has been called up to the squad for the upcoming Nations League matches.

Bernardo Silva has been named the new captain of the Portugal national team, three days after Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement. The 32-year-old Real Madrid midfielder was chosen over Rúben Dias and Bruno Fernandes, who had expected to receive the armband. According to reports, Fernandes is unhappy with the decision, and his poor form in England and at the last World Cup led coach Jorge Jesus to entrust the responsibility to Silva. Meanwhile, the squad for the Nations League matches against Wales and Denmark has been announced, with Gonçalo Ramos expected to take Ronaldo's place up front, despite his scoring difficulties at Milan. The team leads their group with a perfect record of four wins.
