Ronaldo won’t even join in the press.

And anytime he makes a half effort he’ll be gesticulating wildly to a teammate to cover more ground.

Would’ve been a disaster.

Ronaldo won't join the press?
Come oo, how do you think he played in Juventus a few months ago?

You and Eph12, I don't know who is worse.
I can understand Eph12 due to his love for pressing as that's the only thing Fred offers.

But if you bring Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood and cavani. Outside cavani, which other striker actually presses better that Ronaldo?

You guys must think pressing is chasing the ball like idiots.

Plus can we all please calm down with the whole pressing thing.
Bayern doesn't press as aggressively as Liverpool but they cut out passing lanes. There's more than one way to defend. So all this screaming for pressing like it's one extremely successful method of winning is funny.
. And it's not fvcking Compulsory that 10 players must press!

That was how everyone was all about sweeper keepers because of what Pep was doing. I wonder how much of a success that brought him in Europe.

Again THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DEFEND OOOOOOO!!!!! angry

The way we even press would tire out any workhorse: while the front 3 are pressing, the midfielders remain many yards away.
Ronaldo will never get used to such sufferhead football. Maybe we should get Daniel James back.

Asked whether he’d like to play in United’s team, Owen told Premier League Productions:
‘[b]No you can’t! We were at Old Trafford for the City game the other day and all of a sudden it’s just exactly the same they leave Cristiano Ronaldo up front on his own. That’s almost abuse!

‘Having someone that good in your team and then playing everyone defensively and saying ‘That’s alright we’ll just hope he nicks a goal’ he’ll end up being average.

‘If you leave him and all these good players or just two of them playing and everyone else defending they’ll start putting in bad performances because they’ve got nobody to pass to, they’ve got no options, they’re chipping the ball form 50 yards away. They need other players to come up and help them.

‘It’s almost abusing the good players they’ve got and that’s the last thing you’ve got to do. If anything, expose the rubbish! Find ways of getting world class players in your team, get Pogba, get Fernandes, get Ronaldo, get them as best as you can.

‘If you let a few goals in because Bailly’s not great or Wan-Bissaka or whoever it may be then fine you can replace them but at the minute because they’re nervous and scared they just bulk up with sitting midfielders and more defenders and abuse the great players up front leaving half of them on the bench and one or two to play, they’ve got no chance![/b]

People don't seem to understand that if and just if you can defend a bit better and create a bit more chances for Ronaldo, it would be devastating for other teams to the point that they would start playing more defensive against you guys out of fear of Ronaldo.

Alot of successful teams do their damage before the game starts simply because of the fear they command from their opponents.

Manchester United doesn't have that which is why everybody goes toe to toe with you guys even if you win your previous match 4-0.

All this "we have to press" like it's the only thing you should be doing all game.
Fix your attacking patterns and watch teams surrender the game to you more.

How many times does Chelsea, man city, Liverpool press. Few times but they spend more times with the ball creating goal scoring chances.

You guys will just see an issue and sink your whole being into it without looking at other things.

There are teams that have mastered coordinated press, Manchester United is not one of them. Coordinated press means even Lewandoski is not standing somewhere and pointing at another player to block off an area while he does nothing as such. I don't know the Bayern you watch, but that is not what the German Bayern team does. Which successful team in recent years does not press? Name one successful in the champions league and UK.

What you refuse to understand is that matches like yesterday have to be played exactly that way, until we have a manager that can drill a football system into the team, no matter who they play against. Even under SAF, he had the common sense to drop some players in favor of some average ones because those ones could cover more ground, against some opponents. What exactly are you yapping about?

Real Madrid didn't press. The same pressing you are talking about, bayern hasn't used it to beat us.
Last season that we got to the semi finals, we didn't press and we lost because of Injuries.
This season that we have qualified and topping our league, we are not pressing or would you say real Madrid isn't a top team?
Lewandowski doesn't press like what you are asking for. The team presses and he closes down passing lanes more.

Not every team will play like the 3 teams in England. Is that too difficult for you to accept.
And Ronaldo doesn't have to run like a mad man everytime. Move as a team, close spaces down. He Ronaldo can close down passing lanes as he is extremely intelligent to predict where a defenders could pass the ball to. That's what he does well.

And he has every right to get frustrated when it's not a coordinated press since that's what you want.

And please stop lying with the whole "he just stands there points at another player"


Also I know that not every game Ronaldo has to play. He's not young. But that isn't what we are addressing right now.
Our argument is on pressing and what you believe Ronaldo doesn't offer.


We get it, pressing is a big deal for you because the player you Stan offers only that. It's fine grin

United fans are a weird bunch. Without Ronaldo and Bruno(the 2 best players in the squad), United would be in a relegation zone in the league and would be 3rd/4th in the CL table.


Yet, these 2 players get the most criticisms from those brainless Messi fans that support Man Utd. Now that they have realized scoring isn’t a problem for Ronaldo in the PL, they have changed the gear to “he doesn’t press”. When he was first signed, the initial complaint was that he was too old and he wouldn’t score in England.

Why should the greatest goal scorer on the planet add pressing to his resumé? Which other prolific goal scorer was pressing? Did Ibra press? How was Mourinho able to build a team around him to thrive? Does Lewandowski press? Even Pep said he could never ask Messi to press because he needed him fresh and clear headed when they have the ball in the opponent’s box.

A coach must show favoritism to his best players. Romario would miss training and bed pröstitutes throughout the week and on the day of the game, he would outperform those that didn’t miss training. Romario asked Cryuff if he could go to Brazil for 2 days and celebrate their carnival. Cryuff said if he scored a brace in the next game, he would give Romario 4 days to go enjoy in Brazil.

Romario scored 2 goals in the first half and told Cryuff his plane leaves in an hour. Cryuff had no choice than to substitute him off so he could leave for Brazil in the middle of the season. Cryuff said he broke his own rules plenty of times to please Romario. This is normal in the dressing room. The best players get favors from their managers. Even SAF broke his own rules for Cantona.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Ralf Rangnick dropped Cristiano Ronaldo for the team's clash against Chelsea.

"A lot of people have a go at Michael Carrick for dropping Ronaldo and picking that midfield," tweeted the ex-defender.

"I've [got] a feeling the incoming manager has picked that team as it's a huge departure from midweek and what they've been doing."

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-ronaldo-dropped-neville-25566668

Gary should keep his mouth shut abeg. He has offered zero contribution to Manchester United since he turned 30.

These people think pressing is running and running and running.

Yesterday the front 3 pressed well.

They moved together. And with purpose.

When Bruno is closing down a defender, Sancho is blocking the guy that defender is passing to.

He isn’t standing and pointing to someone else to do his job for him.

And that’s what Ronaldo does.

If Lewandowski was always standing and pointing you think Bayern’s press will be coordinated?

You’d better leave these guys alone and stop wasting your time.
