Live bar On January 22, in the pre-match press conference of Manchester United vs West Ham, Lonnick talked about the replacement of C Ronaldo in the last game, and the manchester United official website reprinted all of Lonnick's speeches.
Lonnick said: "I don't think we should be surprised. I explained to him during the game that after the team scored the third goal, we had an exchange on the bench. ”
"A player like Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like to be replaced, and for me, it's very normal. His reaction was somewhat emotional, but for me it wasn't a problem at all. ”
"The manager's job is to help the team win games. After the experience away to Villa (a 2-0 lead and a draw), I knew very well that this time I had to do better. We did do better and the only question was: 'Who's going to replace?' ’”
"Of course, Ronaldo is a prolific goalscorer. And as a player, he always wants to be on the pitch and score goals. ”
"He asked me at the time: 'Why me?' Why not replace a young player? Five minutes later the question was answered and a young player (Rashford) scored the third goal. ”
"Maybe Ronaldo can score in the field, but there is not always such a 'maybe' in the football world, but a decision is made at the right time."
Ronnick also said of Ronaldo's second goal: "Ronaldo orchestrated the second goal, when he made the ball to B. ”
"By the way, tactically it was one of the best scenarios we played in that game, with our centre-forward catching the ball and B fee cutting in at the front.
'That's why, in the end, Greenwood was able to score such an easy goal.
Lonnick went on to say that Ronaldo's reaction to being replaced was "not a problem at all" and that he was used to dealing with such offensive players who did not want to be replaced. Lonnick said: "I've been managing players, maybe not as famous as Ronaldo, but I've also coached Crasimir Barakov, Huntelaar as a young man, Raul in Schalke, Ebe Sander..."
"So I know the performance and reaction of the attacking players in this situation of being replaced. But I have to reiterate, it's about the team, it's about taking points. We're in a situation where every game is crucial and we need to make sure we get the most points from the game. That's the most important thing. ”
"It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's C Ronaldo, Cavani or B Fee, or anyone else. The B fee has also been replaced in the past few weeks, and he is not happy because of it. It is important to maximize the interests of the team and the club. ”
