man boss. United, Eric Tim Haag, presented on Friday his account of the conflict that ended with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from the “Red Devils”, expressing his strangeness at the Portuguese position, and repeating that he was surprised and faced the desire of the captain of the national team only by watching Madiran’s interview with Piers Morgan, in November, In which, remember, he accused the Dutch coach of allegedly disrespecting him and asserted that this lack of consideration was mutual on his part.

In the interview, Cristiano said he was “betrayed” by the club’s senior officials, and ended up coming to terms with Mann. United for the departure of the club, by mutual agreement of the two parties, as the player was with Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar.

Tim Hag told reporters on this day, during United’s training period in Spain, quoted by the BBC: “Until that point, Ronaldo had never told me ‘I want to leave’.”

And after witnessing the interview, the accusations and the Portuguese player’s state of mind, Ten Hag can no longer minimize or try to minimize extreme situations.

“I saw more [da entrevista]🇧🇷 I have to, it’s part of my job. It is an interview that the club, as a part of me, cannot accept. By taking such a step, he [Cristiano Ronaldo] I knew the consequences, ”tensified Ten Hag. “But until then nothing was said to me about them,” he stressed.

According to British Public Television, it won’t be like this: the BBC writes that Cristiano will in fact – and allegedly – tell Ten Hag that he wants and prefers to change his ways … but still in the summer, when the transfer window is on its way (until August 31st). ). After this, CR7 is allowed to be away for several days and support the family, when one of his and Georgina’s children die in childbirth.

“Yes, we talked once in the summer. He once came to me and said ‘in seven days I’ll tell you if I want to stay or not.’ It was like this: a few days later he came to me again and said he wanted to stay. After that, I didn’t Nothing else to be told about it…until he did the interview in November,” is the version given that day by the 52-year-old Dutchman.

Ten Hag now says he “even wanted Ronaldo to stay” at Old Trafford and that he disagreed with Cristiano’s arguments and accusations in the interview with English journalist and friend Piers Morgan.

“I love working with world-class players. I know they can make a difference and help us achieve our goals. Yes, I counted on him. I wanted him to stay, from the first moment until today, if they asked me and it was possible. I did everything I could to include him in the team.” Because I appreciate his quality. We wanted him to be part of our project and contribute more to Human United, because he is a great player with a great history,” Ten Hag said in his account of the controversy, which he only agreed today to address again.

«In the past [2021/22]Cristiano scored 24 goals. What does the team need? Objectives! You can see that, contrary to what I’ve heard, I wasn’t against the idea [o Man. United] Until we renew the contract with him”, is another of the topics that Ten Hag clarified regarding the dispute with CR7.

A controversy that the Dutchman began minimizing this week, with short phrases on the club’s television: “It no longer exists, it was in the past.” Even on Friday, in an interview with reporters about training in Spain, he made clear his annoyance and resentment at having to bring up the dispute again.

“I don’t want to waste my energy anymore on this topic. It’s gone. We want a new future for man. United and he [CR7] I didn’t want to be a part of it, ”is the conclusion ten Hag shared with information professionals, in his reading of what happened.

“All my calculations – and they must – be summed up for the benefit of the club and the team. these decisions [deixar Ronaldo no banco] These are the decisions I have to make, no matter what player I’m with. Football is about where you are now, your level now. I think our performance will confirm that we are [Man. United] Going in the right direction.”
