Ralf Rangnick taught Cristiano Ronaldo a valuable lesson

DBasia.news – Interim manager of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick responded wisely to Cristiano Ronaldo’s anger. He felt like he has taught the Portuguese superstar a valuable lesson.

Ronaldo was unable to contain his disappointment with Rangnick after being withdrawn in the 71st minute during Manchester United’s 3-1 win over Brentford, in the middle of last week. He even had time to question the decision to the manager.

As one of the best players in the world, being pulled out before the game is over is rarely experienced by Ronaldo. Almost all coaches who have worked with him are reluctant to do this.

Apart from having a high goal sense, Ronaldo’s stamina is also above average. Even though he is now 36 years old.

Even so, Rangnick had his own considerations of pulling out Ronaldo. This is what he considers a science for the megastar.

“I think if you look at the moment when Sir Alex (Ferguson), (Maurizio) Sarri or anyone in the past replaced him, Ronaldo’s reaction was very similar. It’s about his own ambition and his own desire to stay on the pitch,” Rangnick said at a press conference ahead of the game against West Ham.

“I don’t blame him for that, but I don’t think he should be too emotional including in front of TV cameras. It doesn’t benefit anyone either himself or his teammates.”

Ronaldo’s expression of disappointment has indeed become common for the media. Rumors of a rift in the changing room has quickly circulated.

Therefore, Rangnick hopes that Ronaldo will not do the same in the future. This experience is also expected to help him when he changes professions to become a tactician after later retiring.

“I think at one stage Cristiano will also be a manager himself, maybe in another ten or five years. He will have the same experience himself.”

“In the end, it was a high-tension game and the players were emotional too. I don’t take it personally at all.”
