Striker is on the right track when he says Manchester United has made mistakes but the biggest mistake the club made was to sign him again.
The most tragic thing about Cristiano Ronaldo’s appearance on Piers Morgan was the fact that most of his comments were exact. Ronaldo was able to pinpoint the fact that Manchester United has not evolved significantly since his departure and they have been weakened by poor decisions. When the time comes for historians to will write about United’s troubles post-Ferguson, this transcript will give a helpful summary. However, in his assessment, there’s a blind spot the most disastrous decision United has taken from 2013 onward was the decision to sign the player.
Perhaps, this is one of the tragedies of the legendary athlete. Ronaldo could be a sly personality and has an ego that is with a such massive ego that he is a supposition to every club for which the club he plays but he’s also been among the top footballers of all time , and is even more impressive because he has made himself so. The comparison to Lionel Messi is hackneyed but it is unstoppable. Messi often appeared insecure, as if an incredible talent flows through him and he acts as a semi-willing channel. Ronaldo is a man of incredible determination and focuses been working hard to turn his talent into something truly extraordinary.
His self-improvement drive was what made him so successful however it is the same self-deprecation that makes him sometimes difficult to work with and that self-belief may prevent him from recognizing that his talents are waning.
This is the reason why he’s in a state of anger over what appears to be inexplicably snubbed, such as being put on the bench during the match against Tottenham. This isn’t because his form has diminished. It’s not possible that it’s better for the team if he’s in the role of a substitute. It could be because Erik Ten Hag doesn’t respect his. However, in the midst of that self-assured bristling that is underlying it, and possibly even inciting it, is a different issue: anxiety. The author’s Josh Robinson and Jonathan Clegg’s book Messi and Ronaldo The book contains an intriguing story about Ronaldo in the midst of his Real Madrid fame, meeting a physiotherapist who had worked with him while the teenagers were still at Sporting and giving him a copy with all the awards he had won like he felt a need to prove himself and what he’d accomplished by his talents. Perhaps, in that there are still glimpses of the wild youngster from a troubled background in Madeira as someone who was viewed as an outsider for his accent that was provincial as he arrived in Lisbon. There’s a vulnerability in his talent.
In the real world, it doesn’t matter what is behind this self-image. Even during his first stint at United which saw him win three league titles, as well as a Champions League, his reluctance to fulfill his defensive duties led to the fact that in European matches, he would be positioned as center-forward, and Wayne Rooney, moved to the left as he was confident in his ability to follow his full-back.
Ronaldo was a superbly skilled player, but his acrimony to being the center of attention caused problems. He scored the first goal as United defeated Chelsea during the Champions League final in Moscow with a header that would later become a cult but, after missing a penalty during the shootout, he sat in tears in the middle of the field as his teammates were celebrating Edwin van der Sar’s crucial stop against Nicolas Anelka in front of the United fans. In this, it was perhaps similar to George Best, who was so dissatisfied with his performance in the final game of the tournament when United defeated Benfica to take the European Cup in 1968 that was unable to attend the celebrations and drank at first. Like Best, United need to end their obsession with a stunning number seven who has changed the player he once was.
Ronaldo’s problems are not the same however he wasn’t a player on a team. This has always been the question mark, especially as pressing became more crucial. He has won 4 Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and was a master of scoring not just a lot of goals but also powerful goals. There was some reason Madrid was willing to let the player go. This was the beginning of an unpredictability that has characterized the last five seasons. In his three years at Juventus, Ronaldo scored 81 league goals, however, the team was worse and did not score many goals in one season as they did the year prior to when he joined.
In the case of United, it was the same. There were those who praised the 18 league goals he scored in the last season as a fantastic effort for a team in decline and the only thing that stood between United and defeat, but the truth is it was a remedy to the problems he caused. In the 2020-21 season, with no Ronaldo, United had a clear and well-defined method of sitting in the middle and advancing at a rapid pace at the break. They finished second in the league, scoring 73 goals, and scoring seventy-four points. In the next season, without Ronaldo his presence, the fluency diminished and they finished sixth in the league, scoring 57 goals, and accumulating an impressive 58 points.
Ten Hag was a stern coach. His appointment was a sign that Ten Hag was likely to be undermined by Ronaldo or he wanted to eliminate the coach, and it turned out to be the former. Ten Hag was tenacious enough to conduct things his way and to break through the fame fug that is always a part of Ronaldo. Also with his frequent punches, Ronaldo has made his task much easier. There are a few fans who regularly attend matches that believe Ronaldo should be part of the squad. In the current season United had an average of 1.0 points per match in league games that he’s started, and 2.2 without his involvement.
Ronaldo’s return to the field was a costly mistake, putting at risk, not just two coaches, and possibly affecting the confidence of a lot of youngsters. However, in his solipsism, it doesn’t seem to bother him. There are Ronaldo and his pursuit of records and goals, and then there’s everyone else. Fans need to remember what Ronaldo was in the first round, and should be proud of his achievements however his return has not been successful. Relying on past glory, and giving in to the whims of nostalgia, isn’t an effective method of running a football club. United has accepted that Ronaldo is gone but it is possible that he will soon have to accept it too.
