RMC Sport 1 will present a new edition of Transversales on Friday (9pm), which will revisit Cristiano Ronaldo’s career. In the documentary ‘Cristiano, The Pursuit of a Lifetime’, Edwin van der Sar and Rene Mullenstein, former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson, reflect on the Portuguese’s design and progression in front of goal during his first spell at Manchester United.
On Friday, April 29th at 9pm, RMC Sport 1 will present a new issue of Transversales, this time dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the 37-year-old Portuguese striker, who is still at the highest level with Manchester United this season.
In the documentary “Cristiano, The Pursuit of Life”, Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar intervenes to address the sheer insistence of Cristiano Ronaldo in particular. “One day, after training, he gave me a free-kick session. I told him, ‘That’s fine, we’ve trained for an hour and a half.'” Ask the second or third goalkeeper, the man who played 167 games with Ronaldo in Cristiano, the Red Devils shirt, I’m tired, I’m 37… “No, but I want to score against the best!” It was hard with the ball floating and lanes changing… I said, “How about my confidence then?”
Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Manchester United in 2003 and left in 2009 for Real Madrid. “CR7” was quick to establish himself as a key player alongside the Red Devils, who over time became a scoring machine.

The story of the man who turned Ronaldo into a goal machine
Assistant coach at Old Trafford between 2006 and 2013, Rene Mullenstein had the “honour to work with Cristiano Ronaldo”. “I remember our first training session well. I showed him a 3-minute clip with Manchester United’s greatest scorer. He told me: ‘99% of the goals were scored inside the penalty area.’ I added: ‘Most of the goals are in one or two.’” Ball touches.” He said, “That’s exactly what I want. Okay. That’s exactly what we’ll be working on,” says former assistant Sir Alex Ferguson.
In this crossover, Rene Mullenstein explains how he transformed Cristiano Ronaldo: “The first thing to know about the goal is the finish. I explained to him the different areas in front of the goal. Here, in Zone 1, you are facing a goal. The goalkeeper will be in the middle of his cage. Bigger An opportunity to score here, commenting on the person who undoubtedly changed the Portuguese career. But I continued the analysis in other areas. Here is the left area No. 2. A A lot of goals are scored here. The goal never moves, unlike the goalkeeper. So if Cristiano shoots from here He should have different options. If he has an opponent, he should realize that it is better to go into Zone 1, where he has more chances to score. Outside, he limits his chances.”
