In the early morning of January 4, Beijing time, Manchester United was overturned by Wolves 0-1 at home, and the whole team, including Ronaldo, was criticized - the accusations from the outside world may be normal, but even the players themselves have begun to "self-criticism", which may show that Manchester United's problems are indeed not small!
In a post-match interview, Red Devils leftback Luke Shaw told the media: "When I was on the pitch, I didn't feel like we were a whole. Tonight the team has no intensity, aggression and motivation. Look at our players, we have incredible standards, but sometimes it's not enough to just have the strength. ”
……
Although Luke Shaw is talking about Manchester United as a whole, and does not name individuals, the outside world has invariably pointed the finger at superstar C Ronaldo!
Absent from the squad due to Maguire's injury, in this game, after a lapse of 14 years, Cristiano Ronaldo once again wore the Manchester United captain's armband - although he did not angrily drop the captain's armband after the game again, but it is clear that this time as the captain and lose, it does not make the new Manchester United captain happy.
C Ronaldo's play in this battle is obviously not good, in the first half, C Ronaldo appears to be a little weak; in the second half, although he is still trying to fight, the spirit is also very commendable, but in the actual effect, it still shows that the 37-year-old C Luo, can not hold up the field start or play the whole game.
Under Ronnick's high pressing tactics, Ronaldo conceded the ball 14 times in the whole game, and only had 2 shots in the whole game. C Ronaldo is still actively completing this high-intensity pressing requirement, and trying to defend, but almost made a big mistake - one of his headers was done back, manchester United almost lost points, which also made goalkeeper De Gea subconsciously make a dissatisfied gesture to C Ronaldo.
Manchester United is currently only in the 7th place in the Premier League, and the top of the table Manchester City has been 22 points apart, obviously, this season, Ronaldo's dream of winning the Premier League is basically broken; Manchester United and the fourth place are also 4 points apart, whether they can qualify for the Champions League is also a problem.
And last season under the leadership of Solskjaer, Manchester United, which is mainly in the direction of youth, won the second place in the Premier League, and only lost 6 games in the whole season, and after the return of C Ronaldo, although three coaches were changed, but now that the Premier League is only halfway through, Manchester United has already lost 6 games - it is difficult not to associate Manchester United's current performance with the return of Ronaldo.
On the one hand, at the age of 37, C Ronaldo's personal data is still excellent, but what is embarrassing is that Manchester United's overall performance and performance have fallen sharply compared with last season - Luke Shaw's so-called "the whole team is not a whole", is it an allusion or "connotation" of Ronaldo? I believe that many people will unconsciously associate this with C Luo.
C Ronaldo's superstar role, obviously, even at the age of 37, is still in the forefront of the world football world in terms of personal data, but at the same time, because of its decline in physical function, the continuous intensity of physical fitness and speed is reduced, which obviously has an impact on the team's offensive and defensive balance, attack and defense speed.
Of course, this is not just a problem of C Ronaldo alone - at this time, of course, the whole team needs more investment and compensation in attack and defense, but young people like Greenwood and other young people have not completely unified into the mentality of real Madrid people at that time: the whole team is fully committed to feeding C Ronaldo.
And C Ronaldo's best partner in the Front of Manchester United, Cavani, is also not young, the two have added up to 70 years old, so the balance of Manchester United's overall attack and defense is difficult to solve, and playing does not look like an overall feeling, which will be a personal experience of Luke Shaw.
Although the role of superstar C Ronaldo is large, and his personal data has been excellent, if the whole team cannot form a whole, just like after C Ronaldo transferred from Real Madrid to Juve, the team's performance has declined year by year, so that after C Ronaldo left the "old woman", like the three elders of the team - Chiellini, Bonucci and Buffon, they have successively accused C Ronaldo of coming, and finally "destroyed the Juve DNA".
Buffon said: "C Ronaldo's cooperation with the team in the years at Juve was very good, but during that time, Juventus slowly lost the DNA of the whole team as a whole." Dutch coach Louis van Gaal shares the same view as Buffon.
And now, in order to make up for the defensive problems, Longnick's Manchester United has taken a high-level pressing that requires more physical strength, which can make the 37-year-old Ronaldo work hard at both ends of the attack and defense, which is obviously a bit difficult.
Perhaps, to solve this problem, C Luo must let go of one of the deepest obsessions in his career: "the pursuit of the best personal data", and put the overall interests and achievements of the team in the first place; second, C Luo must also have some realistic cognition of "serving the old": accept the substitute or rotation! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
