JAKARTA - Liverpool legend Graeme Sou way to defend Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for his recent controversial interview which was criticized by many people.
The former Reds player and coach said it was natural for Ronaldo to speak like that. He assessed that MU or Erik ten Hag did not seem to have fulfilled their promise so CR7 dared to speak up.
"Of course, there were talks between two people. Two people left the room with one understanding and someone did not keep their promise," said Sou Merdehan as quoted by Talksport, Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
In the interview Ronaldo revealed Dutch clubs and managers as well as several people at the club wanted to kick him out. In addition, he has also highlighted the lack of changes at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson left.
Ronaldo even dared to say he did not respect Erik ten Hag because the former Ajax Amsterdam tactician did not respect him at all. This statement is considered clear that Ten Hag must have promised Ronaldo something that he did not keep.
"This is a player who can be said in the eyes of many people is the greatest player who has ever kicked a ball. I think he has been told a story and then the manager doesn't fulfill it," said Sou
Furthermore, Sou Lihat assessed that Ten Hag's statement was often contradictory. For example, the 52-year-old manager did not include Ronaldo when Manchester United lost 3-6 to Manchester City.
After the match Ten Hag said he did not include Ronaldo in the match to honor the Portugal player's great career. However, a few weeks later, Ten Hag actually wanted Ronaldo to appear on the pitch against Tottenham Hotspur with two minutes remaining.
"Then you see what this deal calls. He didn't put it in against City, but a few weeks later he wanted to include Ronaldo with two minutes remaining," he said.
The interview with Piers Morgan reinforces speculation over Ronaldo's future. The 37-year-old is likely already so fed up at Manchester that he wants to leave the club after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
