In a focus battle in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals that ended in the early morning of February 24, Beijing time, Manchester United drew 1-1 away to Atletico Madrid. In this game, Portuguese superstar C Ronaldo shot 2 and 0 on target, failing to continue the previous state of atletico.
C Ronaldo's sluggish performance in this campaign, in addition to his lack of form due to his age, also has an important relationship with the lack of support from his teammates. Manchester United's outrageous scene in the 43rd minute of the game can be called the helpless epitome of C Ronaldo's "isolation and helplessness" in this campaign.
At that time, United organized the attack in front of the field, but in just 12 seconds, Lindelof, Luxho and Rashford all had no target in three consecutive crosses from the wing, which left C Ronaldo, who was lurking in the Atletico box, without any chance of touching the ball. You know, when the three teammates pass the ball, there are no Atletico players around to keep an eye on it, and there is plenty of time to adjust the footwork to cross. Unfortunately, the passing of the teammates was too out of par.
Seeing that his teammates' passing accuracy was so outrageous, C Luo helplessly complained to Rashford with his hands, and even made a gesture of 1. President Luo seemed to be saying, "Even if it is passed once." ”
According to the statistics after the game, C Ronaldo only touched the ball once in the atletico penalty area in the whole game, and it is indeed abnormal to behave as a center forward. As the arrow of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo can only play its power if he can only get the support of his teammates, but if the quality of the passes of manchester United players is as bad as against Atletico Madrid in this game, Ronaldo's last 9 games and 1 goal data is not so surprising.
