OK but answer me this.
Do you see Messi being brought on by the manager in injury time? Players like Zidane, Ronaldinho, R9 before him?
The answer is no.
You simply do not treat a player of that status in this manner and ETH knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
Can't understand why our dumb ass fanbase are ignoring the blatant disrespect..
Jesus himself could come down as the embodiment of the original Ronaldo, Messi, and Maradona, and his play on the field is still subject to the manager's wishes. So the three minutes argument you make is silly.
What's disrespectful? The fact that ManU, despite their behind the scenes shortcomings, were rising to the occasion and beating Tottenham, but instead of being a team player, Ronaldo made that game all about him.
The only thing I blame ETH for is not telling CR7 early that his services were no longer needed, but he has to manage a football team to get them winning games, so he hedged his bets like all managers would do, when you have one of the best players the world has ever seen on the team.
All Ronaldo has done this season is bring chaos. He is a selfish egotistical player. It has worked well for him through the years. It isn't working in this instance as his skills no longer match up to his selfishness and ego.
Look at it this way, ETH oversees every practice, do you think an in form Ronaldo wouldn't have gotten more minutes?
In fact why am I arguing with you. As an arsenal supporter, you are correct, Ronaldo is right. Burn it all down breh.
