Revealed: Rangnick reveals what angry Ronaldo said after getting subbed in the Brentford win, this guy is so rude .
Manchester United ace Cristiano
Ronaldo was not happy after being
substituted during their league clash
against Brentford last night.
The Portuguese international was
taken off for Harry Maguire in the
71st minute, with the visitors leading
2-0 in the match.
Interim coach Ralf Rangnick sought
to beef up their defense in the final
stages of the match but Ronaldo
wasn't too impressed with his decision.
The German was asked later what
the player had to say about the
substitution, as the No.7 appeared
furious and exchanged a few
words with him.
He said:
"He [Ronaldo] said 'Why me,
why did you take me off?'. I
said I had to take the decision
for the team, for the club.
Maybe in a few years when he
is a coach he will understand."
It's rare to see Ronaldo get substituted,
even though he's about to turn 37
in a few days time.
That's a testament to his reliability
even at such an age and, of course,
his incredible longevity.
However, Rangnick was merely
looking to tighten up the screws at
the back to avoid another collapse
like they saw at Villa Park last Saturday.
Aston Villa scored twice in the final
15 minutes of the match to fight
back from 2-0 down to hold Manchester
United to secure a 2-2 draw.
A brace from Bruno Fernandes
had given the visitors a comfortable
lead but a late collapse saw them
go from securing three points to
just one.
Rangnick added:
"I told him [Ronaldo] we were
2-0 up and we have to learn
lessons from Villa Park, after
that game I was angry with
myself for not changing to a
back five. Today was exactly
the same situation, 2-0 with
15 left and I did not want to
make the same mistake again."
understands his position as
Manchester United coach
Ronaldo is never happy when he's
substituted. His unquenched desire
for goals makes it almost unacceptable
for him to come off before the match
is done and dusted.
But his current Manchester United
coach hopes the star comprehends
that some decisions have been
made keeping the collective
interest in mind.
