Ronaldo Becomes Captain Again, What's the Ten Hag's Reason?


49erssports.com - Cristiano Ronaldo won the trust of Erik Ten Hag again to captain Manchester United in the 15th week of the 2022/2023 Premier League against Aston Villa at Villa Park, Sunday (6/11/2022).

The decision to give Ronaldo the captain's armband has not happened for a long time. Ronaldo did not become the captain's choice at Man United, unlike in the Portugal national team when his name continued to be lined up as team leader.

Ten Hag also revealed his decision by giving that trust to Ronaldo. According to him, he wants the player to set an example to his other colleagues on the field.

"When he is captain and leader, he has to set an example. That's what I expect from him on the pitch."

Last Season

The last time Ronaldo wore the captain's armband was last season. At that time, Man United played at home for the 22nd week of the 2021/2022 Premier League against Wolverhampton.

Just like in this season, at that time Ronaldo also played from the early minutes. He led his teammates on the pitch for the full 90 minutes.

Unfortunately at that time Man United suffered a narrow defeat. The Red Devils bowed languidly in front of thousands of their own supporters after being beaten 0-1 by Wolverhampton.

No Captain Figure

Ten Hag explained his decision to choose Ronaldo as captain because there was no other player he thought could lead. Although actually there was David De Gea who went down in the match.

"He has to take on the leadership role because Harry [Maguire] isn't playing and Bruno [Fernandes] is getting cards accumulated," he said.

Maguire was actually the team's main captain this season, but lately he has often been on the bench, including in this match. Another player who usually replaces his position is Bruno.

Important part

The appointment of Ronaldo as captain confirms how important the player is in the team. Even though there was a lot of speculation circulating about him not feeling at home, wanting to run away, until he was punished by Ten Hag for being unprofessional.

"He is an important part of this squad. I've been saying that since the start of the season and I will keep saying the same. We are happy with him,” concluded Ten Hag.
