Ronaldo suspended, I need to set standard- says Ten Hag
After denying Cristiano Ronaldo permission to go to Chelsea on Saturday, Erik ten Hag asserted that he is in charge of “standards and principles.
“After Ronaldo declined to enter the game as a substitute and left down the Old Trafford tunnel during Wednesday’s victory against Tottenham, the manager took action.
Ten Hag stated: “As the manager, I am in charge of maintaining the top sport culture here, thus it is up to me to establish the norms and enforce the ideals.” We work together as a team, and I’m responsible for maintaining our shared standards and ideals.
The manager mentioned that Ronaldo had previously left Old Trafford before the finish of a friendly match in July against Rayo Vallecano after being replaced at halftime.I told him it was intolerable after Rayo Vallecano, but he wasn’t the only one, I said.
However, it applies to everyone, so when it happens a second time, there will be repercussions. That is what we just done. Tomorrow will be without him, which is a loss for the team as a whole, but I believe it’s important for the team’s attitude and mentality.
Right now, Chelsea is our top priority.Despite the fact that Anthony Martial, his other primary No. 9, was still sidelined, Ten Hag decided to ban Ronaldo.
