In the 29th round of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Manchester United played at home to today's rivals Tottenham. In the end, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick, Manchester United successfully defended the home stadium 3-2 and returned to the top 4. After the game, C Luo deservedly was elected MVP of this game, but the rating caused controversy. Yes, 9.9, which is only 0.1% away from the full score, but it is this little deficiency that has caused controversy.
why? There are two main reasons. On the one hand, Ronaldo's performance in this game was decisive, he almost single-handedly helped Manchester United to get 3 points, in the eyes of the fans, his performance is perfect.
As we can see, after the start of the game, Spurs were the dominant side, and their possession was at one point more than 60%. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min frequently stormed United's defence in the front, conceding goals that appeared to be between the lines. But in the 11th minute, Ronaldo stepped up. After a simple 3-man combination in front of the field, Ronaldo got the ball, which was about 20 meters away from the Spurs goal, and in front of him was Tottenham's complete defense, which had long been waiting.
If you are switching to another attacker, splitting sides or seeking to cooperate with your teammates' wall collisions is a basic operation. But Ronaldo chose to shoot with his feet, a choice that was unexpected, spurs defenders had no chance to block, and Lowry was caught off guard. A chance that was not an opportunity, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United take the lead.
Just 3 minutes after his teammates made a defensive mistake and were equalised by Tottenham Hotspur on a penalty, Cristiano Ronaldo responded. Receiving Sancho's cross from inside the box, he pushed the ball into the net and once again helped United rally the lead. In the 72nd minute, his defender made another mistake and Maguire's ball brought the two sides back to the same running line. With less than 20 minutes to go until the end of the game, a draw awaited United not far away.
At the critical moment, the familiar figure stood up again. In a corner kick opportunity in the front, C Ronaldo jumped high in the penalty area and smashed the ball into the net, 3-2! This goal not only helped United to take the lead again, but also like a heavy blow to completely extinguish the morale of Tottenham's soldiers. With just 1 goal in the last 10 rounds, C Ronaldo scored 3 goals in one game, and after the game, the fans at Old Trafford sang a resounding hymn – Long live Ronaldo!
This is another night of Ronaldo's canonization, the first hat-trick after returning to Manchester United, so that his goal count reached 807, reaching the top of the all-time top scorer throne. In addition to scoring goals, Cristiano Ronaldo also contributed his energy on the defensive end, only conceding the ball once, and the pass success rate was as high as 95%, so is this performance not worth a 10 points?
Another reason, of course, is because of Messi. We know that in past Barcelona games, Messi has often scored 10 points. For example, in the 15th round of the 2020-21 season, Barca played Valladolid, Messi won 3-0 with 1 pass and 1 shot, scoring 10 points after the game; more exaggerated, in the 37th round, Barca lost 1-2 to Celta, Messi scored 1 goal and scored 10 points after the game. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the first round of the 2018 World Cup group stage to help Portugal draw 3-3 with Spain, scoring 9.8 points after the game. In this game, 3 yuan helped Manchester United win the strong opponent, and C Ronaldo also failed to score 10 points.
In view of this, fan dissatisfaction is certain. "Barca lose, Messi can get 10 points, Manchester United win, but the hat-wearing C Ronaldo does not deserve 10 points?" reason? Perhaps the scoring agency not only looks at goals and assists, but also values passing and passing. For example, Barca lost 1-2 to Celta, but Messi successfully passed all 15 times and delivered key goals twice.
In fact, this has already been discussed by fans before. If you take the current standards of the rating agency, it is indeed a little difficult for C Luo to get 10 points.
