Ronaldo, his daughter in the hospital and that summer package

Another preview, another dig. A new clip of Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan, awaited in the full version in two episodes between Wednesday and Thursday, turns into a new, very harsh attack on Manchester United, accused in the first preview that also ended up on the front page of the Sun of having “betrayed, tried to send away and make a scapegoat”. This is almost more serious, because it tells of the lack of support that CR7 felt at the beginning of the season, when he gave up the pre-season in Thailand and Australia to be with his 3-month-old daughter hospitalized.

DRAMA

–

With his statements, Ronaldo rewinds the tape at the beginning of July, to when United awaited him in Carrington for the start of preparation. In April he and Georgina had lost one of the twins that the showgirl was expecting. Bella, her daughter born to her, had bad bronchitis in July which forced her to stay in hospital for a week. “I spoke to the sporting director and the president of Manchester United when my daughter was ill – says Cristiano in anticipation of the interview -. It was as if they didn’t believe my words, and this made me feel bad. They listened to me, but it was clear that they doubted my words, that my daughter had big problems, that Georgina was feeling bad for her.That’s why I didn’t leave for the tour: as a father and as a husband, I couldn’t leave my family at that time. moment. Not for the pre-season.”

ADVANCES

–

Morgan, the journalist to whom Ronaldo entrusted his 90′ of confession, talked about it at length in today’s episode of his show, the same one in which the full interview will be broadcast on Wednesday and Thursday (in two parts). During the episode, Morgan revealed that Ronaldo told him he knew he was no longer the player he was, but that he felt stronger because he was more mature and had a better understanding of the game, and that he still wanted to break many records. In the interview, CR7 also returned to the mid-October match with Tottenham, when he refused to enter the field and left the bench before the 90th minute, a gesture that cost him a match suspension and a few days of individual training. Morgan revealed that Ronaldo told him he apologized to the whole team for that gesture.

WAIT

–

United hasn’t taken official measures for now, limiting themselves to a press release in which they make it clear that they want to wait to hear the whole interview before deciding how to react. It is unlikely that Cristiano will not be punished in some way: according to the Telegraph, United are thinking of immediately terminating the contract with the Portuguese, which expires at the end of the season, provided that an agreement is reached whereby the club does not have to pay CR7 any money salary that still owes him. However it ends, the future of Cristiano and United seems sealed: after the World Cup it will be a divorce.
