Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly not compatible with Manchester United coach, Ralf Rangnick. Quoting from Football Insider, Real Madrid tried to use the above conditions to bring Cristiano Ronaldo home to Santiago Bernabeu in January 2022.
Signs of a mismatch between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ralf Rangnick were seen in the Manchester United vs Crystal Palace match, Sunday 5 December 2021 evening WIB. True, Cristiano Ronaldo carried out the gegenpressing strategy instructed by Ralf Rangnick.
He helped his colleagues suppress the opponent in the match. However, Cristiano Ronaldo forgot his main task, which was to create opportunities that led to goals.
Evidently, in that match Cristiano Ronaldo only released one shot on target! Then, in Ralf Rangnick’s second match when Manchester United hosted Young Boys in the 2021-2022 Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo was not selected at all.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo has ambitions to become the top scorer of the 2021-2022 Champions League. Before the Manchester United vs Young Boys match was held, Cristiano Ronaldo, who collected six goals, was four balls away from the temporary top scorer, Sebastien Haller (Ajax Amsterdam).
Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will be bored with Ralf Rangnick’s gegenpressing strategy. Therefore, don’t be surprised if in the next matches Cristiano Ronaldo defies alias does not follow Ralf Rangnick’s instructions.
“I know Ronaldo takes good care of himself, but we know how old he is (36 years old). He can’t play 50 games in a season, of course with that role (pressing),” Paul Robinson quoted Football Insider 247 as saying.
“The game against Crystal Palace was Ralf Rangnick’s first game. So don’t be surprised and get carried away,” continued Paul Robinson.
Therefore, Real Madrid is ready to take Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, in the seat of Real Madrid coach there is Carlo Ancelotti. The collaboration of Carlo Ancelotti and Cristiano Ronaldo once led Real Madrid to win the Champions League and Copa del Rey 2013-2014.
Carlo Ancelotti is one of the coaches who brought out the best of Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 scored 17 goals in the 2013-14 Champions League, and that is the most in a single season of Europe’s most prestigious club competition. “I will give you one last example.
If I had Ronaldo up front I would often learn how to pass the ball to him, I’m not asking him to tire himself out by chasing (the ball after the team lost possession),” said Carlo Ancelotti recently.
