The Portuguese took punishment for his demarche in the match against Tottenham
Attack Manchester United Cristiano Ronaldo commented on his suspension from the next fight with Chelsea in the 13th round of the Premier League. The Portuguese noted that he always treated his colleagues with respect, but sometimes emotions took over.
“As I have always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, opponents and coaches. It hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I am the same person and the same professional that I have been in the last 20 years in elite football and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process.”
“I started very young, for me the examples of older and most experienced players have always been very important. Therefore, in the future, I always tried to set an example for the youth who grew up in all the teams that I represented. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and sometimes the ardor gets the better of us.
Right now, I just feel like I have to keep working hard at Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for anything in any game. Giving in to pressure is not an option. It never happened. This is Manchester United and together we must endure. We’ll be together again soon.”
In the match of the 12th round of the Premier League against Tottenham, the Portuguese remained in the reserve of the team, but did not enter the field. At the end of the game, he left Old Trafford ahead of schedule.
After the match, Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag said he would deal with the behavior of the striker. Subsequently, Ronaldo was suspended from training with the first team and the Portuguese will not play in the match against Chelsea.
