Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to being kicked out of the Manchester United team – Sportnet.sk

BRATISLAVA. Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in Saturday’s match against FC Chelsea. His Manchester United team decided to drop him from the squad. The club from Old Trafford reacted to the incident from the match with Tottenham, in which Ronaldo arbitrarily headed to the dressing room before the final whistle. On social networks, a wave of criticism was launched against the star Portuguese, whose expression of frustration resulted from the fact that he did not get to the pitch. Ronaldo himself later responded to the situation. “As always throughout my career, I try to live and play with respect for my colleagues, opponents and coaches. That has not changed. I have not changed. I am the same person and the same professional that I have been for the last 20 years of playing elite football and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making,” he began his post on social media. “I started very young, the examples of the older and most experienced players were always very important to me. That’s why I later tried to be an example to the youngsters who grew up in all the teams I represented. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible and sometimes the power of the moment overwhelms you .Right now I feel I have to continue working hard at Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in every game. Giving in to pressure is not an option. It never has been. This is Manchester United and we have to be united. We will be together again soon “, he added. Ronaldo tried to leave United in the summer for one of the teams playing in the Champions League, but the club (he has a contract until June 30, 2023) refused to let him go. Already during the pre-season training, he left the duel with Rayo Vallecano at halftime (1:1).
