For more than 24 hours, Cristiano Ronaldo has been the central topic of the English and European public. It started with an angry exit from the field and refusal to enter the game at the end of the clash against Tottenham in which Manchester United gave their best performance of the season. The epilogue of the behavior of the immature Portuguese was the decision of coach Eric Ten Haag to remove Ronaldo from the team for the upcoming derby with Chelsea due to disobedience, which was fully supported by the club’s management.Cristiano Ronaldo makes a statement on Instagram 👀 pic.twitter.com/uwtxg5vwIc— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) October 20, 2022 The Dutchman certainly didn’t want to start a war with the Portuguese and shif the focus from football to disciplinary matters, but Ronaldo gave him no choice. Soon after the decision, former best world player gave his version through his Instagram account. „As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches. That hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I’m the same person and the same professional that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision making process. I started very young, the older and most experienced players examples were always very important to me. Therefore, later on, I’ve always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters that grew in all the teams that I’ve represented. Unfortunately that’s not always possible and sometimes the heat of the moment get’s the best of us. Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game. Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again“ reads his statement. Ronaldo axed from Manchester squad after refusing to come in against the SpursIf you read correctly, it basically means that he acted like that because he felt he was not respected by Ten Hag, either for not starting the game, or for putting him in just minutes before the end. Also, he didn’t apologize to his teammates, as he left the stadium and didn’t at least congratulate them on the best performance of the season. So, we can expect more pictures of Ronaldo on the bench until January, when another race for a transfer will occur. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6745602##
