Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag
Eric Ten Hag, the head coach of English Premier League team Manchester United, and Cristiano Ronaldo, a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, have been at odds for some time. The problems were becoming worse, and the media was throwing gasoline to the fire. It was a common notion that Ronaldo didn’t get much playing time this year.
In relation to the incident in which Ronaldo left the Old Trafford stadium before the final whistle sounded in the match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs, he was barred from participating in the following matches, as declared by Eric Ten Hag. Everyone assumed that Ronaldo and Eric Ten Hag had a heated rivalry.
Backlashing all the thoughts, in the last game when Eric Ten Hag was asked if Ronaldo had appologized, he replied, “Did Cristiano Ronaldo apologize? Enough said on that, so I gave enough explanations. We are happy that he’s here, Cristiano is an important player. Thursday he scored and we are happy about that. He can even be more important.”
Eric Ten Hag handled the situation a little more professionally and without engaging in coach-player rivalry. Although Ronaldo was not in great shape this year and did not receive much playing time as a result, this does not place anyone worse than the other. Fans await many more.
