On February 12, Beijing time, the 25th round of the Premier League, Manchester United drew 1-1 at home to Southampton. Ronaldo started, missed an empty chance, and another goal was blown away, and the personal ball drought has reached 6 games!
Recently, Ronaldo has been under a lot of pressure because he has not scored in 5 consecutive games, and the last time this happened was 11 years ago! Moreover, he also conceded a penalty in the FA Cup, which largely led to Manchester United's exit.
You know, the last time Ronaldo didn't score in more than 5 consecutive games at the club dates back to January 17, 2009 (7 consecutive games), 13 years ago! He hadn't left Manchester United yet.
Facing Southampton this time, it is a good opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to prove himself again. He started as a centre forward, partnering B Fee, Rashford and Sancho. In the opening 7th minute, Sancho went straight, C Ronaldo passed the goalkeeper on the left side of the penalty area, pushed the empty goal with his left foot, and was actually released in front of Perro's goal! Missed opportunities.
In the 21st minute, B Fei's direct pass from the back, Marcus Rashford's cross from the right side of the penalty area, Sancho's right-footed push from the back post broke the goal, 1-0! Manchester United took the lead and the president also high-fived with the little brothers.
In first-half stoppage time, Ronaldo crossed from the left side of the penalty area to assist Pogba's goal, but he was offside and the goal was invalid. In the 48th minute, El Yunusi went straight, Adams pushed a right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball hit the inside of the goalpost and into the net, 1-1!
In the 61st minute, Luke Shaw's long pass, C Ronaldo's chest stopped the ball, and the left-foot volley was saved by Foster!
In the 72nd minute, B Fei's free-kick cross, Sancho's header crossed, C Ronaldo's header broke the goal, but offside, the goal was invalid.
At the end of the game, the score was 1-1, and C Ronaldo shot all 2 shots on target, which was almost a goal. After this battle, he has not scored in 6 consecutive games, and the last time he was at least 6 at the club was back on January 17, 2009 (7 consecutive games), 13 years ago! I hadn't left Manchester United yet.
So far, C Luo has no access to the three major records! First, he failed to score for 21 consecutive calendar years, not scoring since the New Year, and trailing Messi 0-1.
Second, the last time Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Southampton in the Premier League was in December 2004, when he failed to become the third-longest goal interval in Premier League history for the same opponent (17 years and 70 days). Third, the president has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, and still failed to score 15+ goals for the 16th consecutive season.
