“In Jose Mourinho’s first season one of his jobs was to phase Wayne Rooney out of the team while still giving him enough opportunities to break Sir Bobby Charlton’s goal scoring record. Throughout the season, no one was arguing for him to play more. When United let him go for an undisclosed fee at the end of the season no one was saying ‘how could we let him go? He’s the club’s all time leading goalscorer! We need his goals!’
We had watched him for three years, we knew. He might have been our all time leading scorer but he was nowhere near the player he used to be.

That’s what happens to everyone eventually, and it’s now happening to Cristiano Ronaldo. The proof is right there in front of us for all to see.

Only we’re not discussing it. Instead of breaking down why he’s not a fit in Ten Hag’s system we’re just sticking to the buzzwords and focusing all our conversations on “pressing” where one side simply says “he doesn’t press” and the other says “who cares?”

The more the conversation stays on his pressing, the more it misses the point.”

Interesting article on Ronnie.
