On Wednesday, after spending the entire game on the substitutes’ bench, Cristiano Ronaldo left the game for the locker room before the referee’s final whistle. The following day, Manchester United announced that the player would be removed from the team that will face Chelsea on Saturday.
“As I have always done throughout my career, I try to live and play with respect for my teammates, my opponents and my coaches. That has not changed. I have not changed. I am the same person and the same professional. I have been playing elite football for the last 20 years, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process”, says Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Right now, I feel like I have to keep working hard at Carrington, support my teammates and be ready to give it my all in any game. Giving in to pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and together we must continue.” Stand up. Soon we will be together again, “concludes the footballer.
