Cristiano Ronaldo spoke of not knowing who Ralf Rangnick was to the mentality of young players at Man United MUFC
, while the likes of Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all have a special place in his heart.Talk TVOn why he’s done the interview, and why now?Because I think it’s the time… to say something. And because I like you [Morgan]. It’s as simple as that.”“As I say, many, many times, the fans, they’re always, I’m always gonna say good about them. They are the most important things in football, you play for them. They always on my side.
“But Manchester United wasn’t there, it wasn’t even part of those teams. But… surprised everybody, even me, to be honest.”On realising Man United had barely changed in his time away:“Piers, to be honest, when I signed for Manchester United, I thought everything had changed because it’s 13 years since I change. I was in Real Madrid nine years and three in Juventus.
“But don’t see that it was such a big gap. So big things that have gone through in the last ten years, and it was the thing that surprised me more, to be honest.”It was little things like, even the swimming pool the players use, the saunas, all these facilities, nothing had changed since you’d left in 2009?”“Nothing changed. Surprisingly. Not only the pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym.
“A club with this dimension should be in the top of the tree in my opinion and they are not, unfortunately. They are not in that level. But I hope the next years they can reach to be in a top level.”“I don’t know what’s going on, but since Sir Alex Ferguson left I saw no evolution in the club, the progress was zero.
“But I respect any coach, every different approach, different opinions, different mentality, but kind of some points that you’re, you’re not agree. So I’m always like that in my life. I’ve always been, besides the best coaches in the world: Zidane and Ancelloti, Mourinho, Fernando Santos, Allegri… So I have kind of, some experience because I learn from them.
“The new generation and the new technologies that avoid, they distract them for another thing so… But they are not the same that, they listen but this is why we have two ears, as you listen from one side and they go away from another side. “You had an extraordinary reaction from football fans, obviously from Manchester United, but I think you must have been, just so surprised by the outpouring of not just support but Liverpool fans sang on the seventh minute of their next game, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’“I never ever expect that. Never. I have the opportunity now to say, all English community, thank you a lot for that, kind of that they held with me. Not only Liverpool, but all England.
“A good thing that I have, it’s I don’t like to read… because I know 90% of the times they lie, they are garbage. “You have to be charismatic, people have to feel some connection with you. I think to be good looking helps too!”“I care for the people who like me. I’m not wasting time, for the people who don’t like me, I think it’s a waste of time, these people are not interesting in my life.
“It’s hard to listen to that kind of criticism and negativity from people who play with you – for example, Gary Neville as well.”“Yeah, I mean, Gary Neville, you blanked him the other day on the pitch and he looked quite upset actually, because obviously likes being your friend, but he’s been pretty critical of you as well…”People can have their own opinion, but they don’t really know what’s going on.
