In the early morning of February 5, Beijing time, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United sat at home at Old Trafford, and suffered defeat in the face of the challenge of Middlesbrough, and was eliminated in advance.
Manchester United was eliminated early in the FA Cup, the first time in eight years that he missed the FA Cup round of 16, and the last time he failed to qualify was in 2014. After the game, Ronaldo was criticized, in addition to the average performance of the whole game, he also lost a penalty, many fans think that he is old, it is difficult to adapt to the high rhythm of the Premier League, and C Ronaldo, who is about to turn 37 after the game, is obviously also sad.
Coincidentally, 4 days ago, in the 1/8 final of the French Cup, Messi led the same experience in Paris, and finally the penalty shootout in Paris was also eliminated in advance, missing the top 8 of the French Cup. Shortly after the match, The Secret reported that Messi was not happy in Paris, saying that she was very uncomfortable with France and Ligue 1, one of the reasons was related to the tactical atmosphere of Ligue 1.
The "Confidential" reported that the La Liga field is relatively large, and there is more time for Messi to handle the ball. The ligue 1 game intensity and confrontation are more, messi is very tightly guarded, once just get the ball will be kicked, or even put down, and the referee in the blow penalty is also some differences with La Liga, such as in order to maintain fluency some will not blow, which makes Messi feel very uncomfortable.
In just 4 days, Messi and C Ronaldo were all eliminated in the cup, it is obvious that whether it is the Premier League or Ligue 1, when they were young, maybe they were not in the question, but they are veterans of such an age, in the face of the "stunned youth" in their twenties, the future Champions League, the World Cup, the absolute double pride can still stand?
