On January 13, Beijing time, Sky Sports launched an exclusive interview with Manchester United star C Ronaldo. He said that his return to Manchester United is definitely not to compete for the 6th place, the championship is the goal!
After returning to Manchester United last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in all competitions, but Manchester United is only 7th in the Premier League, with a poor record. In response, Cristiano Ronaldo said: "I don't want to fight at the club for the sixth, seventh or fifth place. I'm here to win, to compete. ”
But he's confident about the future: "I think we're competing, but we're not at the best yet." We still have a long way to go, and I believe that if we change our minds, we can achieve a lot. ”
"I still believe we have the ability to play a good season. We know that the idea of a new coach on the pitch will take time. Although the speed is not so fast, but looking to the future, we must be professional, hardworking, and united as players. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that the team is very important: "I look at myself and ask myself, Cristiano, what else can you do to improve your level and help the team? If something happens, sprint to help your teammates when they're tired. Small details of the game. Run for your teammates. Become a team. “
"Be compact, run for your teammates. That's why they call this club Manchester United. In difficult times, we must unite. “
When asked if he could succeed with the wrong mindset, Ronaldo replied decisively: "Impossible." I think that's the point. We still have a long way to go because for me the most important thing is to look at yourself and say you can help the team more. ”
"If you have a little bit of dignity, you have to do more — starting with me. In the new year, I try to improve a lot of different things to help the team. We're all here to make the team better, so let's try it. “
Of the new coach Ronnick, Ronaldo commented: "He came here five weeks ago. A lot of things have changed, but he needs time to get his ideas on the table and on the pitch. I'm sure he'll do a good job. We know we're not playing well enough, but we still have a lot of games to improve. Since he took office, I think we've improved in some ways, but as I've said before, he needs time. ”
For the younger players, Cristiano made his own advice: "When I was 18, some older players talked to me and I needed to improve, they knew more than I did because they had more bad moments. If you criticize them, the new generation today generally won't accept them. I also have kids I know who do the exact opposite. ”
