After missing two games with injury, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the starting line-up and he was eager to help the team with goals. Because United did not play well overall, Ronaldo scored 0 shots in the first half. In the second half, Ronaldo had a header that hit the crossbar, and then he used a very beautiful chest shot to make a ball to orchestrate Greenwood's goal, and just as Ronaldo was playing more and more smoothly, Lonnick made the decision to replace Ronaldo.

After the game, reporters asked C Ronaldo about his anger, and Lonnick explained: "It's normal. Cristiano Ronaldo is a striker and he wants to score. He's just recovered from injury and with a 2-0 lead, I hope to play a little more solid. ”
Lonnick replaced Ronaldo early, there are double considerations of protecting Ronaldo and tactics, but CR7 does not seem to buy this, he believes that he still has physical fitness, and can also help the team. On social media, some fans think that Ronaldo's reaction is a bit extreme, and the president who is about to turn 37 needs to accept rotation, do you think Ronaldo should become a rotation player?
