Manchester United without Ronaldo can get the Premier League runner-up and europa League runner-up, but with Ronaldo Manchester United has let Ole Gunnar Solskjaer off, currently only sixth in the league, the Champions League is also facing a strong Atletico, there is a danger of being eliminated. Manchester United veteran Nemanja Matic has publicly stated that Manchester United's goal for the season is now in the top four of the league, as well as to compete for the Champions League and the FA Cup. But objectively speaking, Manchester United can only complete the goal of winning the top four in the league and the FA Cup at most, so don't think about it in the Champions League.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, returning to Manchester United is about winning the title. Last season, he did his best to become the best in Serie A and the Golden Boot, but Juventus lost the Serie A title. Today, Ronaldo seems to be replicating his experience at Juventus, where he is United's top scorer and the only one to score more than 10 goals. The 36-year-old has already achieved the ultimate, and the new arrival of the interim coach Lonnick hopes to stick to the high pressing tactics, but does not dare to abandon C Ronaldo. It can be seen that C Ronaldo is too important for Manchester United.
It can be said that Manchester United's poor results this season can not be blamed on Ronaldo for affecting the play of other teammates. As the core of the team, C Ronaldo has paid more than his teammates, and he also has to bear the heavy responsibility of Portugal to impact the World Cup finals, although it is likely that he will not be able to participate in next year's World Cup, but C Ronaldo has never wanted to give up. In fact, after C Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, he has made huge changes, and there is a data that is the best proof.
Cristiano Ronaldo currently makes 13 appearances for Manchester United in the Premier League, scoring seven league goals but only 46 shots on goal. The number of shots on goal can only be ranked fifth in the Premier League, and in front of Cristiano Ronaldo are Liverpool trident Salah, Mane, Jota and Leeds United core Rafinha. Among them, salah at the top of the table has scored 71 shots on goal, higher than Ronaldo 25 times, and only scored 8 more league goals than C Ronaldo.
You know, most of Ronaldo's career, no matter what league he is in, he must have the most shots on goal. But after returning to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo significantly reduced the number of shots on goal, not his desire to score decreased, he completed all the goals he should have scored. Instead, C Ronaldo is more willing to cooperate with his teammates, and is also willing to send cakes to nerve knife players such as Greenwood, Rashford, and Sancho, but the teammates' ability to eat cakes is too disappointing.
If you compare C Ronaldo with Messi, it may be more intuitive. Messi made 10 appearances in Ligue 1, three fewer than Ronaldo, scoring only 1 goal and delivering 5 assists, but the number of shots on goal was as high as 43, which was also 3 times less than Ronaldo. Without counting, it is clear that Ronaldo's shot is more efficient than Messi's goal conversion into scoring. This is the rare time that Ronaldo is stronger than Messi in this data, which also intuitively reflects who can adapt to the new environment after the two transfer at the same time.
Returning to Ronaldo himself, the reason why he has made such a huge change for Manchester United is enough to prove that he is not an egoistic player, he cares about personal data, but also clearly knows that Manchester United needs him to contribute at different levels. It's just that other teammates have failed to live up to C Ronaldo's changes and efforts, and even dissatisfied with C Ronaldo's control of the core position and occupying too much playing time. Players like Martial and Greenwood were dissatisfied with their situation and had the idea of leaving the team.
Perhaps these players will regret it after leaving Manchester United, after all, they have lost Ronaldo, an excellent learning object. On the contrary, Mbappe's current practice in Paris is worth learning from, he took the initiative to learn from Messi, and even gave up a penalty to Messi, messi also repaid the favor. Mbappe will definitely be able to grow and progress rapidly with Messi bit by bit, laying a good foundation for becoming the world's first person in the future, and it is not excluded that he will choose to renew his contract and accompany Messi longer. With Ronaldo expected to remain at United, players such as Greenwood should carefully consider their decisions and learn from Mbappe's approach.
