'Ronaldo, being Ronaldo, does what he pleases,' writes DTAthletic. His interview with Piers Morgan was a show of mutiny deliberately designed to cause maximum impact.
in 2009 when he talked about feeling like “a slave” in Manchester and created enough of a bad feeling that there was a period when the crowd at Old Trafford stopped singing his name.He says he had never heard of Ralf Rangnick, previously United’s interim manager, and it seems designed to belittle and ridicule. Rangnick might not be remembered affectionately by United’s supporters, but it feels gratuitous on Ronaldo’s part.
More than that, football fans are not daft. The vast majority of United supporters surely know what is driving this. They know what makes Ronaldo tick and that, having been the main man for United, Real Madrid and, he cannot get used to the idea he is no longer a mandatory first-team pick. Every footballer has insecurities. Not even Ronaldo, with his formidable ego, is immune.
He doesn’t seem to be aware of that famous old line from the US sports writer Wilfrid Diamond that age is the one opponent not even the greatest champion can beat. Or he seems convinced he can show it was never true. It is classic Ronaldo. He wears his stardom like a comfort blanket.
