A month ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for three days after refusing to enter a match against Tottenham Hotspur.
In a keynote interview with Piers Morgan, he revealed his eldest son’s first words after the announcement.
– I came home and my son wondered how they could punish the best player in the world, he says.
Cristiano Ronaldo He has reaped success for almost all of his career. But the time after he returned to Manchester United It was difficult and since Erik ten Hag took charge of the club before the season, he lost his permanent place in the starting line-up.
In a key interview with English journalist Piers Morgan, he harshly criticized those who criticized him.
– I felt betrayed. He says I feel some in the club don’t want me here, not only now but also last year.
Denied entry against Tottenham – suspended
When Manchester United faced Tottenham at home to Old Trafford a month ago, Ronaldo refused to come off the bench with minutes left to play.
Shortly afterwards, the club announced that he would not be allowed to play in the next match against Chelsea and that he had been suspended from all training with the team for the next three days.
Ronaldo tells Piers Morgan of his eldest son Cristiano Jr’s surprise when he reported the ban.
– I came home and my son wondered how they could punish the best player in the world.
– I told him I wouldn’t play the match because I didn’t act and he looked at me and asked, “Why didn’t you act?”
Raging against their owners
The 37-year-old continues to compete with United’s owners – the Glazer family.
– They don’t care about the club.
It will be difficult for United to be at the top, not just because of the Glazers but because of the structure around the club. It’s just like Picasso said; You have to demolish in order to build new and that’s not a problem for me. If they’re going to change it, they have to change a lot of things.
On Friday, reports emerged that the club were planning to sue Ronaldo over the interview. And he himself is not sure if he will stay.
– I don’t know what will happen after the toilet. The fans will always be in my heart and I hope they will be by my side whether I come back or not.
