Cristiano Ronaldo (36) is back in Manchester. The Portuguese superstar has played five games since returning to Old Trafford – scoring five goals. A top record.
It seems like Ronaldo feels right at home at Manchester United from the very first second. There is probably a reason for this, as a report by the US portal ESPN shows. According to this, CR7 is said to have made tactical demands on the coach before moving to the Premier League.
Actually, that’s a no-go in professional football. But not when Cristiano Ronaldo’s wishes come true. According to the report, ManUtd coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (46) fully responded to the Portuguese’s demands.
Ronaldo calls for a faster build-up game
And what did they look like? In order for Ronaldo to be better staged, the Red Devils’ game must be made faster overall and the ball circulation increased, according to the 36-year-old’s wish. Especially against low-lying opponents you should play out the back faster.
The tactical changes seem to be bearing fruit. In the Champions League group game against Villarreal, Manchester United struggled for a long time. Until Ronaldo rushes in in the 95th minute and shoots his colors to victory. (fmü)
