After a 14-day suspension, United struggled to draw at St. James' Park with Premier League vice-captain Newcastle, who had suffered three consecutive defeats and conceded 11 goals. The reason why It is said that Manchester United forced Newcastle to draw, not Newcastle to draw Manchester United, and also with the word "difficult", is really the reality brought by the game scene, which is not exaggerated at all.
Newcastle actually completed 13 shots in his hand with a 30% possession rate, and what is even more outrageous is that Newcastle's 13 shots were 8 feet on target, you can imagine how bad United's defense is! Thanks to De Gea's shame on the bench last season, de Gea was humiliated and brave after being pressed on the bench by Dean Henderson, and his performance on the goal line this season has been remarkable. In this match, De Gea made seven saves, including a close-range save from St. Maxima's and Almiron's angled long-range shot before the finale, to avoid United's fiasco on the road.
The first match of Manchester United's Christmas schedule this season is actually so embarrassing, it is really unexpected, thinking of the situation when the two teams met in the first leg, shouldn't this game be the first shot of C Ronaldo leading Manchester United to blow the general attack horn and start the battle for the fourth?
In this game, C Ronaldo under the eyes of the Newcastle defenders, only 2 shots, 1 blocked, 1 shot deflected, completely did not return to the debut of the bravery, and he fell behind the score, the scene passively burst Fraser's foul action, and once again pushed himself to the cusp of the storm.
It was a malicious foul that could have led to a red card, perhaps jealous of his fame, and the referee simply gave a yellow card. The penalty was highly controversial at the time and after the game. Newcastle fans directly believe that C Ronaldo should be sent off with a red card, and his action at that time was to destroy Fraser. After the game, the fans asked: How serious is C Ronaldo's foul before he will be sent off with a red card?
This yellow card was the fourth yellow card Ronaldo received in the Premier League since his return to Manchester United, and the third time he received a yellow card for malicious fouls. In the highly anticipated double red club, C Ronaldo kicked down Phil Jones, who was protecting the ball, and then kicked Jones on the ground twice, although he vented his anger on the ball that Jones pressed under him, but it was really disgraceful to treat a young player in such a brutal way.
In the Manchester City derby, C Ronaldo violently shoveled De Bruyne in an extremely passive situation, apparently reimbursing the Manchester City ace season that had just returned from injury. But these two obvious malicious fouls only received yellow cards, coupled with the explosive kick of Fraser this time, can't help but question the Premier League's penalty standards again.
As a superstar in the football world, the twilight of his career should have been to see the clouds scattered, the flowers bloomed calmly, did not expect C Ronaldo's temper is more and more hot, once Manchester United is suppressed in the game, he played badly, C Ronaldo's mentality is very easy to explode, the mood is out of control in an instant - a cup of two pots, incarnated as a big devil.
After the game, Ronaldo did not thank the Manchester United fans who were as far away as St. James's Park with his teammates, but simply left the stadium in anger. This is also the third time that Ronaldo has left the field in blackface since returning to Manchester United, drawing 1-1 with Everton and losing 1-4 to Watford, and Cristiano Ronaldo ignored his teammates and fans after the game and left alone.
His approach has also attracted unanimous criticism from the outside world, the game that should be won has not been won, and it is understandable that the mood is not good, but it should not be sprinkled on the fans, and it should not be thrown away.
Can't afford to lose, or is it self-blame for not being able to save the team? As one of the greatest players of all time, Ronaldo really should restrain his temper.
