In an interview with British media, United's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that he clashed with some of his teammates in the dressing room (clashed with certain individuals) because the youngsters now cannot accept criticism.
When Ronaldo joined Manchester United at the age of 18, he was still a winger keen to show off his skills, and in order to change his bad habits, Hejue instructed Manchester United players to play black feet in training, not a foul, and finally forced Luo to learn to pass and run. Meanwhile, outside the pitch, United's big brother also taught the Portuguese teenagers strictly, and Giggs once pushed him against the wall of the restaurant and warned him not to drink Coke for breakfast.
But Cristiano Ronaldo found that it doesn't work to use this set on young teammates now, and the other party is reluctant to accept it, and instead may think that you are questioning their ability. "Mature players, veterans of the squad, always help the youngsters." Cristiano Ronaldo told Sky Sports, "But I can give you an example, if I give advice to a person, even if he is younger than me, if my advice does not match his daily habits, it is difficult to accept." You can talk to him all day, but if the other person doesn't wholeheartedly accept it, it won't work."
"I remember when I was 18, 19 or 20, some of my older teammates talked to me and I always thought, 'Cristiano, you have to improve, they know more than you, they're more experienced than you, they've been through the lows.'" But young people nowadays, if criticized by you, they are not willing to accept. I'm not just talking about our players, not even just this generation of players, but this generation of people. I also have kids, and sometimes, if you're tough, they'll rebel. When you talk to them, you have to find a balance."
"In my opinion, the key is your heart. You should be proud of yourself, look at yourself in the mirror, and say with a clear conscience: 'I've tried my best.'" I think everyone at Manchester United should do that, because the New Year needs to turn a new page and we have a lot to strive for."
Britain's "Daily Mirror" said that as early as three or four years ago, former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho had discovered this problem, so he tried to publicly criticize his players and try to motivate them, only to be boycotted by the players and eventually dismissed. The Daily Mail revealed that the 36-year-old C Ronaldo will stay behind to continue fitness after training, but he is not as confused as most of his teammates. It is reported that there are only a few Manchester United players who take the initiative to train before and after training, and most of them are senior players, and the attitude of Manchester United's young people is worrying.
Cristiano Ronaldo added: "Personally is the most important thing, we are willing to help young people, if they need my help, my support and my advice, I will be the first to help, but if you don't want me to help, it's okay, do your job, look at yourself, do your best, help the team."
At the same time, C Luo boasted that he did not plan to retire and hoped to play until he was 42 years old! 'I'm happy to be a player with a long career, but I also feel that it only makes sense to play well if you stay at the top level.' Cristiano Ronaldo said, "I feel like I'm 30 years old because I took care of my body and mind. I think that after 33 years old, the body can still be tested, and the real challenge is the spirit. I want to try to play until I'm 40, 41 or even 42, but the most important thing is to enjoy every day."
