In their opening game of 2022, United exchanged blanks with Wolves at Old Trafford. Captain Ronaldo failed to score and was kept clean in the first league game of the New Year for the first time in three years.
In the final game of 2021, Ronaldo passed and shot to help United win. In that year, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 47 goals in 60 games, and in his career, the Portuguese have scored 803 goals.
In 2019 and 2020, Ronaldo scored in the first league game, completed a hat-trick against Cagliari in the first game in 2020, and played against Udinese in the first game in 2021.
Facing Wolves, C Luo is full of war. The reason is simple, Ronaldo first started in the Premier League on August 27, 2003, when the opponent was Wolves, after 6795 days, the Portuguese once again faced Wolves, and once again made a start.
Not only that, Lonnick also let C Luo wear the captain's armband. Explaining his decision, Lonnick said, "Cristiano Ronaldo is the most experienced player, choosing between him and De Gea. ”
Lonnick chose the 4222 formation, but the forward line of Cavani, Ronaldo, Sancho and Greenwood could not create a threat, with only 4 shots on goal and 1 shot on target in the first half, while Ronaldo only had 1 shot on goal, 27 touches and 20 passes.
Ronaldo can't get enough starting opportunities, partly because of the lack of support from his teammates, Sancho and Cavani are shooting at the ball, rather than passing the ball to teammates in better positions. Wan-Bissaka's two crosses were slightly higher, allowing C Ronaldo to make a "higher than a throw" move.
Unable to get a shot in front of goal, Cristiano Ronaldo also made a low-level mistake in the defense, and when the header in the box was released, the Portuguese pushed the ball into the box and passed it to Jimenez, fortunately the latter did not seize the opportunity.
Bruno Fernandez came off the bench to activate United's attack, and he did send a wonderful pass for Cristiano Ronaldo. After receiving a free-kick from Fernandez, Ronaldo's header went into the net, but the referee signaled that the Portuguese were offside.
After that, C Ronaldo burst into the box in the counter-attack and then deflected a low shot, missing a good opportunity to break the goal, which made him very regretful. In the end, Manchester United lost to Wolves 0-1, and Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score in the first game of the New Year in 3 years.
