Girona. Cristiano Ronaldo has criticized young players at Manchester United.
Anthony Elanga is not feeling the beat but still says:
– I understand what he’s saying. It is very easy for young players to get distracted.
After Sweden’s 2-1 win over Mexico on Wednesday night, it was a quiet win Anthony Elanga who met a small group of Swedish journalists at the national team player’s hotel in Girona, Spain, on Thursday.
The whole team put in a very good defensive effort. He helped us when we could save. Victor (Giocres) and I closed the middle in the first half and those who came in after that, Quaison and Ishak, played a good game.
Every time I got the ball I wanted to do something. I felt like I was close to assisting the goal for Svanberg, he says Manchester United– the player.
“everyone asks”
After all, what everyone is wondering: How is the mood at Manchester United right now…?
– Many people ask me that, Elanga says with a wry smile.
– Now I’m with the national team. The club is in the process of finding out what was said. When I get back to the club team we will certainly discuss what happened.
– There is now a toilet and I am here with the national team. There is a lot of information now.
Is it possible to stop everything that is happening in the club team?
– it is very difficult. Everyone has their phones and I have friends in Manchester and in Sweden who want to know what happened. I don’t know it myself. I only know what other people have heard. I hope to find out the truth then.
trying to shut down
– I’m trying to turn off. But everyone is curious, and my family is almost the worst, and they always want to know, Elanga says with a fresh smile.
– That’s how it is. I might be able to say more after I go back to the club team and find out what really happened.
Cristiano Ronaldo He is one of the greatest players in the world. Do you understand that he gets a lot of attention?
– Yes, of course. He is one of the biggest players in the world, a role model, and an influencer. Needless to say, people are talking about it.
What does Cristiano Ronaldo mean to you?
– very much. He helped me a lot not only on the field but also off it. He’s an inspiration, not just for me but for all the young players at United.
did not change
Did you change your opinion about him because of what happened now in terms of the interview and the harsh criticism?
– No not much. Because when I’m with him, he hasn’t changed. He is still Cristiano Ronaldo to me. It helped me a lot
– Even with the interview, he was fine with me.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo criticized the young players at Manchester United – for being distracted and not getting enough impressions of the older players. Is he right?
– Cristiano talks about young players in general. We are a new generation. I am always 100 percent focused on what I’m doing. But I can understand what he’s saying. There are so many phones and so many technologies. It is very easy for young players to get distracted and lose focus.
I am always 100 percent focused on my work and what I am doing. United’s young players listen, but I can understand what he’s saying, says Anthony Elanga.
