Is This The END Of Cristiano Ronaldo's Career_

Is this the end of Ronaldo's career? On 20th October 2022, we saw something that left all footballing fans in the world in shock. Cristiano Ronaldo has called on, by his manager Eriksen Haag, to come on as a substitute when Manchester United were leading two goals to nil against Tottenham Hotspur. Cristiano Ronaldo thought he could get away by showing a dominant display of power against his manager, but unfortunately for him, Eriksen Haag is no Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Rangnick. The Dutch manager banned Ronaldo from training with the first team for two weeks. The club also decided to fine Ronaldo's 14-day salary. With only two goals at this point, is this the end of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United? For starters, Ronaldo's return to his Manchester United career was great, wasn't it? He scored 18 goals in the Premier League and 6 in the Champions League. He scored a hat-trick against Norwich and Tottenham, as well as goals against Arsenal and Chelsea too. He was on the top of his game and ended the season winning the Player's Player of the Year award at Manchester United for 2021-2022 season. There were speculations that his playing form combined with his strength in the dressing room might see him taking the captain's armband from Harry Maguire. The fans loved Ronaldo to the bone, pundits applauded for his amazing performances and we thought that Cristiano Ronaldo is far from finished. However, the summer transfer window was shocking for the Portuguese and his reputation. Due to Manchester United inability to finish in the Champions League, Ronaldo and his agents went out to find himself a new club that is contesting in Europe at the highest level so that Portuguese's record in the Champions League remains stable. Now, one would think that Cristiano Ronaldo of all people should easily find suitors for himself with clubs all over Europe lining for his signature. To Jorge Mendes' disappointment, that was not the case. Cristiano Ronaldo was rejected by every club in Europe starting from big clubs like Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid to smaller clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Napoli. All hell broke loose when Ronaldo's former club and sporting CP itself reject Ronaldo with rumors that the manager has threatened to resign if the signed back Ronaldo. Truly astonishing. Bayern Munich director Oliver Kahn said that while he considers Cristiano as one of the greatest football players ever, Bayern came to conclusion that despite appreciation for Cristiano, he would not fit into the philosophy in the current situation. Atletico Madrid's footballing director had similar thoughts where Enrique Cereso clarified his club's situation saying that I don't know who invented the story of Cristiano Ronaldo but it's practically impossible for him to come to Atletico de Madrid. Rumors had it saying that half-ranking also advised Thomas Tuchel to not proceed towards signing Cristiano Ronaldo despite new Chelsea Todd Bowley pushing his manager to buy one of the all-time greats. So the questions arises. Why would no football club playing in the Champions League want to sign a 24-goal forward for them? The answer lies in future football planning and squad building which is something team like Manchester United are poor at organizing. While it is understandable that will get you goals, it is said that he is overall considered to be a net negative on his team's style on and off the field at his old age of 37. The first part is that Ronaldo's off-the-ball work rate is disappointing which affects the total intensity of applying pressure to your opposition. Football is a collective work and all 10 outfield players need to press together in order for win the ball quickly. It was very evident that Ronaldo at his age cannot comply with the high pressing demands in modern football. For the 2021-2022 season, he had the lowest amount of pressure per 19 minutes which speaks why clubs who practice hardcore Jengen pressing such as Bayern and Chelsea did not opt for buying Ronaldo. Secondly, we need to realize that in football there are good and bad moments and when the curse hits the fan, Ronaldo's influence in There are many rumors that it was in fact Ronaldo who started the campaign to overthrow Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from his managerial seat at Old Trafford. The signs of Ronaldo's unhappiness were evident every time he was substituted or benched. He did not like the idea of being rested or taken off putting the manager's power in question. Ronaldo is a huge player and a big ego which is not easy to manage and almost any manager in the world can fall prey to his power and continue to lose their dressing rooms such as Ole Solskjaer and Ranjik did. The third reason why clubs preferred not to sign Ronaldo in the summer is because he is very hard to coach. Ronaldo played all his career at the left wing however at this age he is demanded to play number nine as the main center forward sticking in the box showing his movement and goal scoring ability. Unfortunately Ronaldo plays like he wants to play and prefers dropping deep to get touches of the ball. He wants to carry dribble and shoot from distance which is something he cannot do at this age due to the loss of technicality. When dropping deep he leaves the box vacant with no bodies for the crossers to aim at further producing a more tactical challenge for the manager. Cristiano is one of the greatest players of all time but in order to continue playing more in his final years as a football player he needs to calm his hunger down and be patient approaching teams and opposition. He still has the most important skill despite his flaws which is goal scoring. We hope Ronaldo has a cracker of a world cup and proves everyone wrong.
