Just hours before Portugal’s quarter-final against Morocco, Portuguese media revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo (37, 118 goals in 195 with his country’s national team) would have liked to close the door to the Portuguese selection, creating a new scandal among those already involved. CR7.
For several months, Cristiano Ronaldo has been pouring ink: disagreements with Manchester United, tantrums, disagreement with his choice: the 37-year-old athlete, who has always been praised since the beginning of his career, is increasingly divided and many of them are rumors that appear and criticize his actions . Some talk about his departure to Saudi Arabia in January, the end of his international career, … Let’s go back to the recent scandals that affected him and his current situation, which directly affects a very ambitious country in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo Sacked From Manchester United: The Inevitable Consequence Of Heartbreaking Divorce
At the start of the World Cup in Qatar, the Mancunian club announced the immediate termination of the Portuguese star’s contract, after numerous disagreements between the management and the player. According to Cristiano Ronaldo, Erik ten Hag “provoked” him by not starting against Tottenham on October 19, and also added: “I don’t respect him because he doesn’t show anything towards me. […] Ronaldo continued, I think it was a strategy on the part of the club to make me react in this way. I was very, very, very disappointed with the communication from Manchester United. »
So the heated exchanges between CR7 and his coach ensued.
Recently, Erik Ten Hag responded to this whole issue and didn’t hesitate to say what he thought: “ Ronaldo? He’s gone and it’s over now. We have moved forward and are looking forward to the future said the tactic into the MUTV microphone. He even ended by saying: In top-level football, you never have time. Opponents want to kill you and this is what happened. We had to adapt quickly and I think our team has been great. The mentality has changed and I think the way we play has changed over the course of the season, the style, I think we are evolving and we have to continue the process. “.
Back at the club he revealed at the highest level, it took just over a year for the Portuguese player to see his story end with a very bitter aftertaste and performances far from the ones that propelled him so quickly to the ‘darling’ of Old Trafford.
Differences also within his choice
When CR7 was in turmoil with his club Manchester United, he said he was focused on his national team, saying he had “good energy, good vibes” on Instagram, but things seem to have changed a lot today.
Instead of his coach Fernando Santos against South Korea, Cristiano Ronaldo showed his displeasure, even his coach declared that he did not appreciate his behavior at all. After this relationship, the Portuguese team’s connection was a failed dispute and a minor phenomenon without consequences for the rest of the competition.
However, after being placed on the bench during the match against Switzerland (6-1), Cristiano Ronaldo remained very neutral in front of the cameras, but his nerves seemed to give way behind the scenes.
After a discussion with his coach, the Portuguese star wanted to leave the selection, feeling offended, but after reflection, he preferred to reconsider his decision. The Portuguese Football Federation denied this information and tried everything to silence the rumors and avoid the worst just hours before the match against Morocco.
On social networks, CR7 posted a message to ease tensions and rumors: “A group too united to be broken by outside forces. A nation too brave to be intimidated by any opponent. A team in the truest sense of the word, it will fight for its dream to the end!” Go to Portugal!
Cristiano Ronaldo: a new situation and an unknown future
It now appears that tensions have eased: the work between the Portuguese player, his selection and his club appears to be over, but perhaps attests to CR7’s new status.
“I think there is still room for him and a role he can play,” said Rene Meulensteen, who was 37 years old, despite the great physical condition, former assistant coach of Manchester United from 2007 to 2009, after working alongside Cristiano. In the team.”According to him, the future role of Cristiano Ronaldo will be that of a developed substitute who is able to bring something during the match, and not the defending champion.
Regarding his future, there are unfounded rumors: according to information, he has reached an agreement with the Saudi club Al-Nasr for an exorbitant salary. It will be a two-and-a-half-year contract with a huge check of €200m in annual salary. However, the five-time Ballon d’Or denied the rumour, telling reporters earlier this week: “No, it’s not true.”
Thus, CR7 is free of any contract since his contract was terminated by the Mancunian club, but there does not seem to be a realistic transfer rumor today.
