Probably be crying & calling their agents for a move to Italy, Spain, Paris or a holiday to DubaiWonder how his words will reflect on the rest of the players!
Well they don't like driving home in the dark from training at 5pm so a holiday to Dubai is probably on the cards. Nice and sunny there I hear? Never been myself mind.Probably be crying & calling their agents for a move to Italy, Spain, Paris or a holiday to Dubai
They're not really that young anymore are they now? None the less, I agree with you.He is very right though.
The weak mentality of a lot of our younger players is shocking compared to the past.
Martial, Lingard, especially stand out and now Rashford is seemingly going the same way.
A few others, have also shown off and on similar traits, so its nit a random thing, it's something embeded into the club that needs to be fixed.
They say this abou5 Michael Jordan after "The last dance". If you wanna win at the highest level, you need tough individuals"Young players left stunned an incapable as Ronaldo bullies them"
Sorry, throwing your arms in the air all the time or stropping down the tunnell is not how you show leadership, its the opposite and sets a really poor example. While the experienced pros can certainly help, remember its not their job to be instructing the younger players. Again, teh best way to do this is by setting an example, whether how you train, eat or act. Same with Pogba. Much as I loved the young Ronnie, we signed the old Ronnie who is a pampered egotist. Why do we keep makign excuses and construct complex explanations for players acting like entitled pr*cks. Then wonder why we have a toxic dressing room.Second time I've heard him say that about the youngsters.
In a previous interview he went as far as saying he tells players and they listen but then go away and don't implement or change.
I think the criticism we have see of him, including walking down the tunnel after games, is his frustration. Personally think we should back him instead of criticising him. His means and style may be wrong but his dedication shouldn't be doubted.
To build up something you have to destroy some things. Bang on
Not everyone has the confidence and experience to say things as they are, CR has and I wonder if some of the nonsense around likes of Pogba was the same frustration manifested in the wrong way?
Wt? Some still saying Lingard is young? He's amongst the oldest in the squad!He is very right though.

But Roy Keane's comments, by all accounts, didn't go down that badly with the dressing room at the time. Fletch has spoken about it, Rooney has spoken about it. The youngsters in the dressing room, of which Ronaldo was one, didn't hold a grudge over it and all of them still talk in glowing terms about Keano. It was more Carlos and Sir Alex had a problem with it, and lets face it the problem between Carlos and Keano had been growing for years before then.There’s something Roy Keane-esque about it. He’s calling out a group of players who, by his own admission, aren’t capable of taking it on. We probably all agree he’s right, but it looks out of step with the modern game and generation of players.

Do you?If you can't or won't listen to one of the best players to ever grace the game, then there's no hope for you. The sad thing is we all know which players he's referring to.
No doubt. The new lot tend to be more molly cuddled and sensitive.I think the mentality regarding authority in football between youngsters and elder players/coaches is completely different to when Ronaldo was a youngster in the United dressing room.
