In the early morning of January 20, Beijing time, in the 17th round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Brentford 3-1 away. Cristiano Ronaldo started, although he did not score, but also made his own contribution, is the hero of the Red Devils' victory.
In the last 2 games, C Ronaldo was absent due to hip injury, but recently he went to FIFA headquarters zurich, received the FIFA Men's Football Special Award, and returned from injury in this game.
This was United's first time against Brentford in the Premier League era, so it was also the first time in Ronaldo's career that he faced the Bee Army. He made his debut directly as a single arrow. In the first half, facing the opponent's five-guard formation, the president could not get a chance in the penalty area, and could only keep retreating or pulling the edge, and did not complete the shot.
The first shot, from the 47th minute, was crossed from the right and Ronaldo nodded the ball over the crossbar and popped up! It is a pity that the president also holds his head with both hands, deeply regretting. Eight minutes later, Fred picked out a pass, Andanga stretched out his foot and headed into the net, 1-0! United are finally taking the lead.
In the 62nd minute, McTominay picked out a pass after breaking the ball, C Ronaldo made the ball on his chest, B Fee single-handedly crossed, Greenwood pushed the empty goal to win, 2-0! I have to say that the president's move is really wonderful: the side of the body in the back case, the chest directly swings the ball, swings it just right, pierces the opponent's defense, and creates the best opportunity for his teammates, if B Fei shoots directly, it is his assist.
However, in the 71st minute, Lonnick replaced Ronaldo with Maguire, who failed to score and has not scored since 2022. It's now January 20th, and the last time he didn't break the goal so late on New Year's Day, it goes back to 2019, when the president of Juve didn't score his New Year's debut goal until January 27.
