It is a reality that Erik ten Hag's team has achieved a team that shows good conditions, they have found a great rhythm of play in their last games because of the order and the strict way of working, it is important to consider that these players are essential for the Dutchman's system of play to work, he has taken different options to find the best possible team.
He has been looking to test each of the players in the squad, many differences he has found in terms of the team, he has explored different scenarios with players, in all cases it has been very difficult to leave the base that has given results to the team, he has sent to the bench players like Harry Maguire or the 37 year old Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo.
A team from the big six wants to sign Cristiano in January, would cut his salary
He has to sharpen his aim, he is the star signing and big performances are expected
The coach despite recognizing that Cristiano Ronaldo has improved significantly in his level, has not let the player have more minutes, even Erik ten Hag shared that Cristiano for missing the preseason while looking to leave the club, has managed to improve, has had rhythm in recent games, which has been noticed in different scenarios, the problem is that he has had to stand out in Europa League, and not in crucial Premier League games.
He did not see activity in crucial games like in the Manchester derby and recently in the match against Spurs, where the player refused to enter the pitch in the last minutes, he had an obvious frustration that caused him to leave Old Trafford before the game ended, this situation angered Erik ten Hag, who separated him from the first team, and he was not part of the squad against Chelsea, the player will have to apologize to his teammates.
This is the message that the Brazilian left back with whom he shared many years at Real Madrid, Marcelo, who was one of Cristiano's teammates and friends in a great stage of his career, is aware that he is going through the most complicated stage of his career, the player has not been up to par with his level on the pitch and his mentality, but he knows that he will recover for being an excellent and exemplary athlete.
