In a focus battle in the 25th round of the Premier League that ended on the evening of February 12, Beijing time, Manchester United was forced to draw 1-1 at home by Southampton. In this game, Portugal superstar C Ronaldo once again had no grain and sluggish performance.
After an unexpected substitute in the last round, President Luo returned to the starting lineup. Unfortunately, C Ronaldo still failed to lead the team to victory. In the opening 7 minutes, Ronaldo had a one-handed opportunity, but he swung his shot past the opponent's goalkeeper and was weak.
Since then, Ronaldo, who is still running at full strength, has made two more goals, but both are offside. In the second minute of first-half stoppage time, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Pogba to score, but the goal was invalidated because of the Portuguese superstar's apparent offside goal. In the 72nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo scored on his own, but his header from 7 yards was equally offside. In addition to one empty goal and two offside goals, Cristiano Ronaldo volleyed in the 60th minute from the left side of the goal, but was saved by the heroic Foster.
Overall, C Luo did not get a lot of opportunities in this game, but he really wasted opportunities, and he was offside 3 times in the whole game, and many times the running position was a bit urgent, wasting the opportunities created by his teammates. After the game, Manchester United's "mouthpiece" Manchester Evening News mercilessly gave Cristiano Ronaldo a team-low score of 3 points.
After not scoring a goal in this game, Ronaldo has not fasted so far in 2022, and the 6 consecutive ball droughts are also his longest ball shortages in the last 13 years. Manchester United reporter Samuel Luckhurst pointed out that at present, Ronaldo's self-confidence has been exhausted, and if there is a forward on the bench, It is wise for Longnick to replace Ronaldo with them.
Now that C Luo is 37 years old, he is close to the twilight of his career, and he has almost transformed into a pure opportunist and a point snatcher in front of the goal. How to use C Ronaldo well next, whether to continue to insist on making C Ronaldo start, will be a rather difficult problem for Manchester United coach Ronnick.
