“One day is perfect and another day we are crap” - Cristiano Ronaldo says Manchester United criticism is ‘normal’ due to magnitude of the club
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has stated the pressure will always remain on the manager and the players due to the magnitude of the club.
Speaking after the Red Devils' 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, Cristiano Ronaldo stated that there are always ups and downs as a footballer. He believes they must learn how to deal with them and change based on the scenario like Manchester United did against Spurs.
Ronaldo, who put in a man-of-the-match performance in the Red Devils' victory, said:
"For the coach, the club, the players is normal. The club is so big so the criticisms are always there," he said. "It does not bother me because I have played football for 18 years so I know that one day is perfect and another day we are crap. I know that and we have to deal with that."
The Portuguese added:
"But it's always better when people praise you and they are happy with you when you win. But sometimes the life is like that. We have to pass through bad moments and we have to change and we changed today."
🗣 "One day is perfect and another day we are crap."
