Next Monday, Beijing time, the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester United away to Manchester City. As the absolute protagonist of the derby war, Ronaldo will face a severe test, and this is just the beginning.
After returning to Manchester United, Ronaldo has played a Manchester City derby, and the result is a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City, so this time away, his goal is to win revenge.
So far, However, Cristiano Ronaldo has only scored one goal at the Etihad Stadium, which was in the penultimate round of the 2006-07 season, and with his penalty break and Van der Sar's save for Vassell's penalty, Manchester United beat Manchester City 1-0, when the Blue Moon had not yet risen.
In fact, 15 times in his career against Manchester City, although Ronaldo won 9, drew 2 and lost 4, winning more than losing, he only scored 5 goals, which was not efficient, including 3 opponents representing Real Madrid, and only scored 1 goal at the Bernabeu.
Manchester City manager Guardiola is also an old rival of Cristiano Ronaldo. The team that has played against Guardiola in his 17 careers, the president has won 4, drawn 4 and lost 9, mainly because the Spanish national derby has lost more, but can score 7 goals, which is one of the opposing players that Pep fears the most.
For Ronaldo, the performance of 1 goal in 10 games since the New Year has put him under a lot of pressure, and if the derby continues to be empty, it will inevitably be more criticized and questioned. However, everything is just beginning, and more severe tests and challenges are still to come.
In the next round of the Premier League on 12 March, Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur, which is another strong dialogue. Immediately after, it was the 15th Champions League and Atletico Madrid's life and death battle, if eliminated, it would be the season without a championship, C Ronaldo is farther away from his sixth Champions League title.
The Double Red Society on March 20 has been postponed, but back to the national team, there will be a play-off match between Portugal and Turkey on March 24, and if you lose, then Ronaldo will miss the World Cup finals!
Given that Ronaldo is 37 years old, it is difficult to have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup again, and the difficulty of winning the Champions League will become more and more difficult, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the performance and results of the next 19 days will largely determine his historical status!
