It seems that the relationship between Dutch coach Eric Ten Hag and the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer clear in its present and future.

After he was excluded from the "Mano" squad yesterday, Saturday, against Chelsea in the Premier League, which ended in a 1-1 draw, the Dutch striker justified this act by saying that Ronaldo made two "mistakes".

The first time he forgave him and the second time he "punished".

Ten Hag returns to his pre-season friendly match, which Manchester City played against the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, and then the "Don" left the stadium before the final whistle.

After the Faicano match, Ten Hag told Ronaldo that "his leaving early was not acceptable".

In the Tottenham match last week in the Premier League, which ended with United winning 2-0, the issue worsened and the relationship between the two men worsened because Ronaldo refused to enter as a substitute and then walked towards the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms minutes before the end of the match after Ten Hag left him on the bench.

"This is the second time, and there must be consequences," according to the Dutch coach, who confirmed Ronaldo's (37) refusal to participate as a substitute, and added, "I am the coach and responsible for the culture here, and I have to set standards, rules and manage the rudder. We have values ​​and standards in the team."

"There will be (time) for him to think, and also for everyone else. Football is a team sport, you have to meet certain standards, and I have to work on that."

After all these words and direct and veiled messages for a star the size of Ronaldo, Ten Hag tried not to "break the jar" completely, and said that the team "will miss Ronaldo.. The words are also clear.. He is still an important player in the team."

But let's compare the history of Ronaldo, the player, and Tin Hag, the player and coach

We start with Ten Hag

: He won the Dutch Cup as a player, and as a coach he won the Dutch League title three times, twice the Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup.

As for the Madeira missile, its treasury is full of collective titles with his country, the teams he played for, individual prizes and records, including but not limited to:

  • 5 UEFA Champions League titles

  • 7 titles in the English, Spanish and Italian leagues

  • 4 Club World Cup titles

  • The European Nations Cup and the European Nations League title with his country

  • 5 golden balls

  • Football's all-time top scorer

In simple words, the history of the two men and what they brought to the charming round can not be compared or even close to the history of the captain of the Portugal national team.

But does Ten Hag have the right to treat Ronaldo in the way that hundreds of millions of his fans find offensive?

The former Kuwaiti player Tariq Al-Jalahma and the current analyst on the "BN Sports" channels answers that football should appreciate and respect the stars, especially since Ronaldo is one of the legends of football in the world and has a great history and achievements in the world of the round witch.

He added, "Dealing with him should be different, as he is an old and capable player, and although leaving the field in this way is a mistake, this incident has motives."

He explained, "Do not provoke the lion and complain about the pain, and the motive for this incident is Ronaldo's mistreatment of the Dutch coach, and Ten Hag did not come to Manchester United by chance. He contracted with the team since last summer, and he had to be clear and frank with Ronaldo and tell him if it was in his plans." "The future and his calculations, or he has to leave. Tin Hag is a capable coach, but how many coaches have the opportunity to coach legends like Ronaldo and Messi? Few have this opportunity."

He continued, "These stars do not always repeat, and what happened is a marginalization and devaluation of Ronaldo and a lack of respect for him, and Ten Hag did not make a mistake in the Tottenham match, but there are cumulative mistakes that brought the relationship here, Ronaldo was his wrong reaction, but we are human beings and we offer uncalculated reactions. sometimes".

In turn, the former Tunisian star Hatem Traboulsi and the current analyst at "BN Sports" indicated that there are two sides to the issue.

First: Ten Hag has the right to keep whoever he wants on the bench, despite Ronaldo's great footballing value.

He added that Tin Hag wants his players to press and defend high and stay close to the opponent's area, and that is why he believes that Ronaldo does not suit this way of playing.

Frchford, Anthony and Sancho are young men in their twenties and Ronaldo is approaching 38, and the coach is looking for players to implement his plan and vision.

The second: Tin Hag asked Ronaldo to warm up, then he forgot him and did not involve him in the match, and this upset Ronaldo.

Traboulsi called for there to be an understanding between the two men and to tell Ten Hag Ronaldo that he needs him in a number of matches, and in others he keeps him on the bench, "out of respect for his career and history."

He concluded, "The feeling of the player and his fans around the world must be taken into account. Ronaldo preferred playing for United over City, and if he signed for City, he would have been the Premier League's top scorer."
