FACTS. The real irony is they are using CR7 name to get more views out of their bs channel and still talk with so much PRIDE to not roll out the red carpet if CR7 came in
I think the only reason Erik kept on saying Ronaldo was in his plans is because Manchester United fans would have bash him if Man United sold Ronaldo and the team wasn't playing good without Ronaldo Ronaldo was never in Erik's plans so he had to play mind games without Ronaldo
Erik didn't want him and would have happily let him go if he there was time to get a replacement but by the time Ronaldo made his intentions clear we was already in august, and it was too late, so he's had to walk a line between talking positively about Ronaldo in the press whilst in reality not really fancying him in his system
Martin Keown - Ronaldo has won ‘4 Champions Leagues, I think he scored in 3 consecutive finals’. This is FACTUALLY WRONG, he has won 5 champions leagues and has not scored in 3 consecutively (although he has scored in 2008, 2014 and 2017 finals). It just infuriates me that these ex-football player pundits cannot be bothered to do their proper research and homework before speaking on a football debate show…
No not at all, Martin Keown is being paid very good money I imagine to give his analysis on the highest level of football. What frustrates me is so many ex-professional football pundits are so lazy and can’t be asked to do even the most basic research before giving their opinion on these sort of shows. Also in this debate Keown was talking absolute nonsense
For us to know if your point is correct we have to know what year he got to finals. Your point doesn't state that he didn't score in 3 consecutive finals.
A lot of Ronaldo’s comments are focused on THE MEDIA’s comments on him which has absolutely nothing to do with Man Utd or Ten Haag. People have lost all objectivity in life.
That part of the interview is unbelievably vanilla that’s why. Blah blah the media post negative stories about, how surprising when you’re the biggest sports star in the world.
He has a dig at anyone who's slating him. Pathetic childish 💩 at least it puts the Messi Ronaldo debate go bed. Messi by a mile, he started as a kid but grew into a top player. Ronaldo started as a child and ended as an old child
I was at Anfield when on the 7th minute there was a huge round of applause followed by singing You'll Never Walk Alone for Ronaldo's son..that was a beautiful thing in our beautiful game 🔥Y.N.W.A🔥
@@Discombobulate453 THANK YOU!!!! That's the bloody difference. Ronaldo was in the squad, the others weren't. That's why it's worse what Ronaldo did. People don't bring this nuance up when speaking on the Vallecano situation
@@johnatancarassa1317 Duhh!!! If you're not in the squad, leaving a pre season game early doesn't really matter. If you're in the squad, you must stay till the end
@@michael43567 so then why would ETH even bother correcting them saying 8 walked out? For all he cares about only 1 was on the squad.. you see the difference is, eth doesn’t view this the way you want him to. This is a matter of respect, even if you were just a regular guest invited to sit on the squad bench for whatever reason, if you walk away before the game ends it’s disrespectful! So when the respect is neglected by multiple players, call them out equally! Irrespective of being on squad or not! The fans don’t fucking know who’s on and who isn’t, for all they know they all got warmup kits 🤷🏽♂️
martin talks from a place the other two won't understand , he is a former Professional player in a great team that was very successful and with a very big dressing room full with egos , so when he uses the jungle analogy he is being very realistic .
What’s wrong with that? Two things can be correct, the interview shouldn’t have happened, but it has happened and the least you can do if it is gonna be public is actually get proper information
@@Len2415 He called out the club president,Glazers,Ten Hag,Antony and other players who missed preseason just like him and started first team football. He called out the youngsters and the infrastructure of the club. How much more name dropping u need numbnut
@@user-io8cm4dk1f the biggest issue we have seen is ETH and Ronaldo. He said the glazers and upper management are morons and don’t know what they are doing. This has been known long before Ronaldo came back in 2021. He mentioned the infrastructure of United are not up to par with other clubs. He said he doesn’t respect ETH because ETH doesn’t respect him. To me it all started with the Spurs game. If you actually watch football ETH would’ve brought on a defensive player to protect the lead not an attacking player. ETH won’t be successful as long as the glazers are still in charge. Funny how Mourinho got flack for criticism of lazy players and the media called him out. Now that Ronaldo is doing the same he should be criticized 😂 the hypocrisy is outrageous. Mourinho is and was a better manager than ETH will ever be.
Keown doesn't follow Man United. The root of Ronaldo's issue is him not being played, period! Further, Ten Hag defended him and pointed out that he wasn't alone when the MEDIA focused on him only when he left early during the preseason game.
''the young players dont know how to suffer; they have it to easy compared to me'' ''the technology and facilities aren't simple and luxurious enough for the players; its the same when i was there''
Ronaldo lives in fear that he will not be regarded as the GOAT and Messi will. He wasn’t being played and that means his records could be overtaken. That’s why he wants out and has created this situation to force it. Call it competitiveness, call it vanity. That is what is driving this. You either admire the drive or hate the egoism. For me, his lack of self awareness is that it is his performance dwindling that has caused the lack of playing time, not an agenda against him. All heroes fade out.
Why would he say the actual name of the person who doubted him ? He's not going to it's outright slander. Don't quite get jim or Simons stand on this to be honest. Totally agree with Martin
As an Arsenal fan, can we start to wash our hands of Keown? I don't even know what his point is here. I actually don't even think anybody in that studio know's
@@davidblush Only one? I don't think you know a quarter of the personal loss everyone is dealing with. I am glad common sense can still prevail despite that. You can choose to believe the "feelings" over that. Anyway, Martin focused on showing us the mindset of an elite player, not what you think or are alluding to.
Hahahaha are you serious? English players get BATTERED in the English press. Gasgoine, Terry, Ferdinand, Rooney... there's dozens who've been hung out to dry and arguably had their reputations ruined by the English press
This is something only a fool would argue with. Do you know how many dinners he’d have had with the queen? See how Beckham is treated for achieving only a quarter of what Ronaldo did. Ronaldo would be a “Sir” if he were English
Why didn't CR7 say that he thanked the club for their support at the time yet only says he felt they doubted him? Why did CR7 say a City signing was very close when City after the interview denied those claims with a statement? Simon is right, because Piers didn't question anything CR7 literally got to say anything he likes with no recourse!! Mark my words, in the upcoming weeks a lot of what CR7 said will be questioned in more detail!!
Not social media. It's more clever than that tbf. It's stuff from media sources. Not social media. "Ball washing" Ronaldo on social media is good for business. It's calling him great, using him for marketing, but also not playing him due to lacking a pre-season, and looking to sub him on in the 88th minute like he's a youth player. I honestly rate it, though. From EtH, that is.
@@animelytical8354 "Not playing him due to lack of pre-season" Nah, ETH isn't playing him because he's no longer good at football and he needs to retire. This old man can't accept that he's no longer who he once was and that's where the massive issue comes in
@@animelytical8354 haven't his poor performances this season proved that he needed a pre season? You speak of ONE game he was asked to come on for two minutes. What about the 10/14 premier league games he played a part of? Or the 6/6 europa games? All that gets thrown out the window cause of one game?????
Simon Jordan has limited ideas on how people are treated by companies, i have worked for managment that refused staff time off to visit sick family in hospital, also instructig staff in that department not to swap shifts to allow that person time to visit, same company would not let an employee have a day off to go to a family funeral unless they produced a death certificate, which kind of makes it impossible having to ask a grieving relative for a death certificate so you could take it into work and show a manager.
I broke my leg a few months ago, got back from hospital at 4am and had to be on client calls at 9am a few hrs later. No option to skip it / phone in sick. When ronaldo says "piece of meat" he speaks to a lot of people. The £500k a week isnt a point of difference since it's relative to what he generates through endorsements, brand recognition, marketing contracts and performances (20goals and he dragged them through champions lg group stages probably generating ManUtd more than his wages!!)
Simon is spot on, Ronaldo is being childish and entitled.Just look at the stats , under Ten Hag Utd have been better in every departament. I also think it is telling he walked off on Utd's best display of the season, against Spurs.He could not handle how well they were playing. The interview is a joke.
Follow this chronological sequence of events to see just how pathetic it is CR7 to leave Juve after the season top of Serie A City want CR7 Deal is in the works SAF calls CR7 Prohibits him joining City CR7 joins United Fans happy CR7 scoring goals But team weak Ole fired Rangnick hired Writes letter mid-season Asks for CR7 to be cut Again, was mid season End season, CR7>Harry Kane CR7 loses baby boy United spends $$$ City sign Haaland CR7 knows they want him out (Rangnick letter) CR7 asks to leave No UK offers received 1 Saudi offer received ETH says no Wants to work with him Baby girl sick Nobody believes him They think he wants to leave That it’s an excuse Pre-season Leaves game early But is one of 8 No mention of other 7 Season starts Denied playing time. Only 4 starts in 20 games including Europa League Told it’s due to lack of pre-season But Anthony starts without it Double standard Against City, not brought on “Out of respect” Tottenham, offered 3 mins Felt disrespected Feeling of betrayal overwhelms him and he has a reaction Suspended Brought back Made captain for a game Next game, told he won’t play They claim illness He does the interview Boom. Chapter closed United is a horrible place to be!
Ronaldos throwing his toys out the pram, he was meant to be the 1 to turn United around and not because he's been dropped. Embarrassing to see from a 'man' of nearly 40
"CR7 have the wrong mindset" What!!!!!!!!????? your talking about a player whos been on top of the game for 20 years. he was behind Messi with 4 ballon dor and was able to catch up to him. please give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keown needs to do his research.. - He mentions 100% no respect from ETH and says that Ronaldo wasn’t believed about his children in the same breath, Ronaldo never said ETH didn’t believe him about that he said the senior officials didn’t. - He said that when 8 players left early only his name was mentioned, yes by the media, ETH always maintained that it wasn’t only Ronaldo whenever he was asked about it in interviews.
@@mohamedabbas1986 you play players based on their form this season, not 7 months ago, he had about 20 chances put on a plate for him over 2 games against a Cypriot pub team and couldn’t even score from 6 yards out with an open goal. Martial has played 300 mins less PL football than Ronaldo this season and has twice as many goals! 😂
Part of the reason why his name was the only one even mentioned was because out of the 8 people that left that day. Ronaldo was the only one that actually played during the game and left before the game ended. The rest of those players weren't playing.
Jordan is 100% right. I can’t believe he has to repeat his say so often. The only problem for Ronaldo is that the manager treats every player equal regardless of status or history.
This chronological sequence of events tells you how unfair it all has been: CR7 to leave Juve after the season top of Serie A City want CR7 Deal is in the works SAF calls CR7 Prohibits him joining City CR7 joins United Fans happy CR7 scoring goals But team weak Ole fired Rangnick hired Writes letter mid-season Asks for CR7 to be cut Again, was mid season End season, CR7>Harry Kane CR7 loses baby boy United spends $$$ City sign Haaland CR7 knows they want him out (Rangnick letter) CR7 asks to leave No UK offers received 1 Saudi offer received ETH says no Wants to work with him Baby girl sick Nobody believes him They think he wants to leave That it’s an excuse Pre-season Leaves game early But is one of 8 No mention of other 7 Season starts Denied playing time.

@@saumildesai2442 if saf told him to jump off a cliff would he? Is it also unfair that he's gotten older but his mentality hasn't? Ronaldo was a great player but this never changing attitude ruins him. Messi has taken that number 1 spot by far after this
5 pts for Simon: 1-Ronaldo cares 100x more about playing and winning than his Man Utd salary 2-you can't call him a liar (disrespectful) for the whole show and then state that no one disrespected him at United 3-watch UA-cam or TV and see several man united club personnel questioning if it was a good move for United to get Ronaldo 4-tell the listeners which premier clubs in the last 20 years have benched (for most of the season) strikers that scored 24 goals the previous season 5-think before speaking in a public show, listeners will fact check you
But he lied about the closeness of the City signing.. City issued a statement refuting his statement He didn't mention that when he "felt" the club doubted him and didn't show support when his child was ill yet thanked the club for their support at the time The fact he is now moaning about the state of the stadium and infrastructure yet didn't say a word last season when he was scoring and playing more and under a manager who was weak in Ole but now because he has a strong manager who won't bow down to him and keeps him on the bench he suddenly calls out the owners. He did it for his own benefit and not the benefit of the fans!!
Lionel has always talked a lot more succinct and Elegantly to the media. When he’s being on the news for whatever reason. Ronaldo putting the final nail in the coffin of the cr7 vs Messi argument 😂 at the end of his career
I am following the comments on Ronaldo and I see a huge difference between the respect great players have for Ronaldo and those journalists. Journalists often play god particularly the English ones.
You guys sit there and keep criticizing the man. I doubt if any of you have been in that shoe your entire life. It’s Easier said than done. Keeps saying he’s childish like he’s not entitled to his opinion because he’s Ronaldo. Keeps saying he should have set a good example because he’s God
I’ve watched a few videos on this channel on different topics. With all due respect, Simon Jordan doesn’t have a clue. His biggest contribution to the sport is his opinion, like the rest of us.
❌❌❌CR was no more than a good finisher. That’s all. He was NEVER even near the top ten best players in the world. It is pure insanity to put him in the same level as Messi or even Neymar. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
What nobody is mentioning is that he quickly backtracked in the interview to then saying they did believe him, when Piers questioned him further about that. I'm not saying he may not have felt initially that wasn't the case, but he gave no context to support that. The evidence shows also they allowed him that time off.
Glad that you picked that up .. he clear,y states they did believe him and then adds something complete irrelevant … but it’s pretty obvious .. they did believe him .
He also said he had to prove by showing them actual medical reports of his sick child. Get the impression he been punished for having a break from ftball during most harrowing time in his life. Mentions very explicitly the support of the people of England, Royal family yet he didn't say thanks to Mutd as a club, his teamates etc not once. as if they were not there supporting him in his one time an only time of need esp after everything he has given. If SAF had been there u can guarantee he an Keane Neville Rio et Al would've told the press to leave off their tmate. For the FA to be going on about mental health rightly so and encouraging players to talk about things. Seems like no one was there supporting Cr7 as if he is a machine programmed only to care about footie.
@@tazkaur9your wrong he didn’t show any documents he said he had the documents there as proof but wouldn’t show them to anyone as they were himself and only himself so another BS comment watch the interview again my friend you’ll see I’m right
Simon Jordan is the voice of reason; absolutely agree with him... Ronaldo is absolutely in my opinion if it's his 'truth' PARANOID, there is a difference between what someone feels (could be paranoia!) and the truth, I find it hard to believe the amount they agreed to pay, his stature, and the risk it would take, CR7 PLAYED GAMES and underperformed.
And that's not paranoid it's his side and every side has two stories is the better way to say it then just questioning someone's mental ability. If you can't process the interview then you are a fool. 1. Doubting his words 2. Him trying to give ideas and you must be remembering right why United bought casemiro and Antony because United lost badly otherwise they were going for arnautovic and rabiot . 3. Different rules for different players example Eriksen Antony 4. And remember he said he doesn't felt motivated at all to play for them. Now about his wages, he gives them more by his image and the market value he possess.
As for Ronaldo he wants respect he gets £500,000 a week there is your respect Mr Ronaldo, no other club would have paid you that, plus no other club will pay him that in the future, plus what club wants him with all that baggage. The only part of that interview that I felt for him was the tragedy in his life, that was so sad and anyone no matter who they are deserves time and support. I do question who it was that didn't believe him about his daughter given he didn't name names, he called out other ex-players and even not naming his current team mates who he thinks are professional, so why not name the individual at the top of Man Utds hierarchy, probably because he would be sued for defamation, because without proof you can't accuse someone. Also can you imagine if someone did sit down with Piers Morgan from the club do you think they would be given the same easy, no hard question, soft interview from Morgan, what a hypocrite that man is!. Well done Simon Jordan you put Morgan in his place, again Morgan's asking if Ronaldo has more millions in money or followers that's just what the people, the fans want to hear, to all of us who are struggling to live at the moment, its okay for Morgan he's rich, mind you he did make money off the back of making up a story about the British Armed Forces and put the Armed Forces in harms way after the made up story, how is that man allowed to even allowed on TV or Radio.
I wouldn’t compare Ronaldo’s current form to Messi, Lionel is playing much more in form right now. Some of that is due to Messi’s position and the structure built around him at PSG, (Mbappe and Neymar for one) but Ronaldo hasn’t played well when he’s had the chance. I agree with Simon as to the interview being more of a speech with Piers Morgan spoon feeding Ronaldo easy questions with no critical insight or follow up. It’s easy to side with Ronaldo on a lot of issues, but the timing of this interview has to be questioned and an appropriate amount of responsibility put on Cristiano himself for creating his own drama. I can separate my love and empathy for the player with the need for professional behavior. Ronaldo knew where he was coming when he agreed to come to MU, any complaints about infrastructure etc. would have been seen before he signed a contract.
Follow this sequence of events and one will see to what end the interview was: CR7 to leave Juve after the season top of Serie A City want CR7 Deal is in the works SAF calls CR7 Prohibits him joining City CR7 joins United Fans happy CR7 scoring goals But team weak Ole fired Rangnick hired Writes letter mid-season Asks for CR7 to be cut Again, was mid season End season, CR7>Harry Kane CR7 loses baby boy United spends $$$ City sign Haaland CR7 knows they want him out (Rangnick letter) CR7 asks to leave No UK offers received 1 Saudi offer received ETH says no Wants to work with him Baby girl sick Nobody believes him They think he wants to leave That it’s an excuse Pre-season Leaves game early But is one of 8 No mention of other 7 Season starts Denied playing time.

Chapter closed United is a horrible place to be!
@@saumildesai2442 Interesting take, however, you forgot that as soon as United were out of Champinos League for next season Ronaldo would have been looking for an exit. Ronaldo made a poor decision by not accepting any offer from any other club. The salary was probaly the stumbling block, had he accepted to play for a nominal wage and perhaps 300,000 per goal he could have gone to any club in Champions league, for example, Sevilla, Athletico Madrid, Napoli, Milan, Marsella etc. They would all have taken him, but he wanted the salary he was having at Man Utd. and that meant only a few clubs could afford that and they didn't need him. His greed caused him to lose the opportunity to continue at the top level this season in a major club.
Ronaldo has wanted to leave the club ever since he found out about the pay cut for missing out on UCL. No one wanted him and so he has sulked for months, quietly plotting his revenge with friend Morgan.
Ronaldo: “I want to leave the club in the summer” Man Utd: “We’ll listen to offers” Ronaldo: “Release me from my contract and ignore the £15 million of my remainder transfer fee” Man Utd: “Errr No…” 3 weeks later: Ronaldo: “I can’t join pre-season because my daughter is ill” Man Utd: “riiiiiiiiiiiiiight 🤨” 3 months later: Ronaldo: “They didn’t believe me!”
Media since 6 months : "Why isn't Ronaldo having the balls to speak up ? He has the professional responsibility to speak to us about what's going on. He has to speak why we fail a game especially when he is wearing the arm band. He has to speak up for his team mates. He has to speak up against the culture and the Glazers" Media since Ronaldo spoke,"You cannot speak up like that. You should have done it behind closed doors. You cannot put your mates under the bus. You cannot speak against your boss. You cannot give interview to Piers Morgan instead of us. You cannot give an interview without being challenged at Gun Point. You cannot have an interviewer say nice things about you. Ronaldo should call himself unfit, ugly, infamous"
I've always seen and defended Ronaldo when people spoke badly about his behavior. And now he has proven them all right. Barca in a financial situation and needed to downgrade, Messi is the sacrifice no one heard about it.
So where was the outrage when Messi called CONMEBOL a corrupt body ? Or when he criticized the pitches, or when he said "the ball is like a rabbit" . If Ronaldo had done that the media will be all over him. When Messi disrespected Pochettino were was the outrage? When Messi scored 11 goals last season in all competition for PSG. Why did the media not say he was finished or in decline? Ronaldo score 24 goals and was still labelled as the problem... Please let us remember that these players however great they are, they are also humans and they have got feelings too
They didn't trust him because he was touting himself around Europe to leave the club right in their face. Utd are not my club but I don't belive they wouldn't show him compassion regarding his sick daughter.
Who of them has come out to deny it...UTD as a whole club has issues, Ronaldo is not the first to speak out, Sanchez wanted he's agent to terminate the deal, Mourinho said it was his biggest achievement in the game to finish second with UTD,and many players...it's only that Ronnie came out when he's still at the club.
It’s not the club that hasn’t moved forward it’s the player- the modern game is a squad game and he is part of a squad but he thinks he’s still the best- very sad
Erik Ten Hag is an elite manager and for him the team comes first at all costs, and we can see that on the pitch. Ronaldo thinks he's the elite player that he was and he is better than everybody else. EtH is giving the same treatment that SAF would give - "dont care who you are.. team is first"
CR played 300+ minutes out of 360+ minutes in 4 games between the MC and THFC games... I don't think being asked to come on with 3 minutes + injury time is not an insult.
I agree with Simon. Throughout the interview Ronaldo kept whining. He felt disrespected by being asked to come on for the last 3 minutes. Well guess what pal......you are not suited to a pressing style and neither the player you once were. And since you love to call yourself a top professional, be a professional a d do your job. You are getting paid 500K per week to do it
I think for a period now Ronaldo has been emotionally unstable and he needed to release them off his mind to be mind-free for the world cup. If he also want to prove to people he still got some left, this tournament is all he needed for him and the country as a whole
This argument is so dumb. Simon wants Ronaldo to name names but if he had done that, the entire media will feed on it, and because it's a subject of a word against the other with no proof, Ronaldo would then be sued for his allegations and then the situation gets only legally worse for him. As a former owner of a club, this should be understood right? I'm a Man Utd fan, but based on the way the club has carried itself in the post-Fergie era, Ronaldo is obviously bigger than the club. Ibrahimovich and many star players said similar things about the Marketing club. British media is lucky they have one of the best players in the premier league for their ratings. I bet you they would hate it when he leaves.
If there's no proof then don't say it? And if you really believe it to be true why shouldn't you name names? He was still paid so that's enough proof they believed his word. Ronaldos first stint at United was also under the Glazers, if he knows how bad they are why did he come back? And the Premier league in no way needs Ronaldo, he was gone 12 years and they were breaking records with their TV deals all the time
Simon Jordon has hit the nail on the head. Everything else Ronaldo said is handbags. But to claim Man Utd did NOT fully support his family while his child was seriously ill is not only inconceivable, but also unforgivable. Of course Man Utd would have supported him & his family 110% during such a time. Why? All the other players have got kids to!!!!!!!! If Man Utd had NOT supported him & his family during such a time, we would have heard about the matter long ago because there would have been open warfare between the entire 1st time squad and the club's hierarchy - SIMPLE AS 😠😠😠😠😠
Maybe Cristiano will ask you out on a date if he reads this. You can take a walk and hold hands with him. His other boyfriends might get jealous, though, so be careful
This is such a simple incident. Ronaldo’s profile complicates it, but when you distill it - absolutely unacceptable behaviour. I agree with Danny Murphy - I don’t like his demeanour and I doubt he is a club player that encourages changes in a young team’s behaviour. Any other industry, he is absolutely gone without a question.
What I find quite amusing is how much Piers Morgan was sucking Ronaldo off in this interview. In almost all of his previous sit downs,he’s very hard and pushes his guests to annoyance . It all makes sense now why Ronaldo would choose him of all journalists to conduct this interview. I feel like he could’ve pushed Ronaldo more on some of the issues he was bringing up but I digress. This “interview” was just Ronaldo airing out his grievances and Piers validating him. Just some food for thought 💭.
The only thing he cooked is himself by doubting the existence of the Saudi interest in Ronaldo. Shows just how out of touch and out of scope he is. Fabrizio confirmed it existed.
6:57 “it’s the wrong mindset” and there folks is what gives it away that he was never an elite athlete. I looked up Simon Jordan and BINGO he’s a businessman/journalist… Martin understands what it takes to make it at the professional level. On top of being an elite footballer, Cristiano is the elite of the elite. These arm chair football journalist need to slag off..
@@mnemonija He didn't hurt feelings. Just that his ideas will get Ron embroiled in a long drawn legal battle. Which to translate for you, is not a smart idea.
For all those invoking MESSI in this discussion, please answer these; where was the outrage when Messi called CONMEBOL a corrupt body ? Or when he criticized the pitches, or when he said "the ball is like a rabbit" . If Ronaldo had done that the media will be all over him. When Messi disrespected Pochettino were was the outrage? When Messi scored 11 goals last season in all competition for PSG. Why did the media not say he was finished or in decline? Ronaldo score 24 goals and was still labelled as the problem... Please let us remember that these players however great they are, they are also humans and they have got feelings too
Does Martin actually have a thought of his own? Maybe instead of simply repeating Ronaldo's version of events you could, I don't know, think critically about it and present an opinion beyond "yeah but he says he felt this"
Cr7 deluded he's talking as if it's 2008 and he's unplayable... Can't argue with his achievements, but he can't do what his brain thinks he can do. 3 goals in 10 games says it all
Jim trying to say he wouldn’t roll out the red carpet if Ronaldo came in is hilarious 😂 he does it for absolutely anyone they have on.
That’s because Jim is a brown-noser to everybody to feed his ego lol
He takes anytime someone is critical of the media so personally 😂
Saved me some typing lol
The same place that actually pays Carlton C to talk wouldn’t roll out the red carpet for CR7?! Loooool
FACTS. The real irony is they are using CR7 name to get more views out of their bs channel and still talk with so much PRIDE to not roll out the red carpet if CR7 came in

I think the only reason Erik kept on saying Ronaldo was in his plans is because Manchester United fans would have bash him if Man United sold Ronaldo and the team wasn't playing good without Ronaldo
Ronaldo was never in Erik's plans so he had to play mind games without Ronaldo
This makes absolutely no sense tbh.

Strangely Keown is the one man who Simon struggles with. He spews such nonsense with a calm confidence 😂 baffles Simon into frustration
🤣

This is so true 🤣
Absolutely. The aplomb with which Keown spits horse shite out is astounding. Master troll.
Simon is not a good listener. Yes he struggles with Keown.
Martin Keown - Ronaldo has won ‘4 Champions Leagues, I think he scored in 3 consecutive finals’. This is FACTUALLY WRONG, he has won 5 champions leagues and has not scored in 3 consecutively (although he has scored in 2008, 2014 and 2017 finals). It just infuriates me that these ex-football player pundits cannot be bothered to do their proper research and homework before speaking on a football debate show…
Not a big deal, it’s not the point
No not at all, Martin Keown is being paid very good money I imagine to give his analysis on the highest level of football. What frustrates me is so many ex-professional football pundits are so lazy and can’t be asked to do even the most basic research before giving their opinion on these sort of shows. Also in this debate Keown was talking absolute nonsense
You have demonstrated your ability to google. Martin says he thinks not quoting facts
@@sparks2100 analysis? It's a talk show not match of the day or Monday night football. He's paid to discuss and give opinions
For us to know if your point is correct we have to know what year he got to finals. Your point doesn't state that he didn't score in 3 consecutive finals.
Great to hear keowns thoughts on an interview he hasn’t even watched
Is everyone forgetting Ronaldo put in a transfer request before pre season, and before any disagreement with ten hag
There were even rumors of him leaving before past season was over.
people have short term memories
Where ??
Thank you. He thinks we have forgotten
@@Uzairu_Sim1 He let it be known he wanted CL football, but nobody came in for him. He was linked to Chelsea but Tuchel didn't want him.
A lot of Ronaldo’s comments are focused on THE MEDIA’s comments on him which has absolutely nothing to do with Man Utd or Ten Haag. People have lost all objectivity in life.
That part of the interview is unbelievably vanilla that’s why. Blah blah the media post negative stories about, how surprising when you’re the biggest sports star in the world.
He expressly states he doesn't respect the manager
And that’s why the media are gunning for him like made even on this show sadly. Oh the rats…
@@gunnerfan2000 Neither do but I respect Ancelotti, Zidane, SAF
He has a dig at anyone who's slating him. Pathetic childish 💩 at least it puts the Messi Ronaldo debate go bed. Messi by a mile, he started as a kid but grew into a top player. Ronaldo started as a child and ended as an old child
I was at Anfield when on the 7th minute there was a huge round of applause followed by singing You'll Never Walk Alone for Ronaldo's son..that was a beautiful thing in our beautiful game 🔥Y.N.W.A🔥
Liverpool is a FOOTBALL club while Man UTD is a Commercial club.
There is a big difference
Oh shut up. Making it about Liverpool, as per
Didn't Liverpool had to apologise a fan mocking the the Munich Air Disaster on Twitter in 2013?... Y.N.W.A!!
Simon laughing at the thought of Keown having a World Cup wall chart 😂
Brilliant....u got talent m8...
Martin did not even watch the interview. But it's TV gold and compelling so much so he watched 30 mins if a 90 min interview
Tbf the majority of the interview is filled with nonsense
@@TrustMeMore And reviewing something takes far less time than watching the actual interview! that's why it's called a review!
The press named him and him alone when he left the stadium the first time, Ten Hag came out and corrected the press saying 8 players left early
Difference is that the other 7 players weren’t in the squad for that game. Ronaldo was.
@@Discombobulate453 so it matter if you was playing or not now
@@Discombobulate453 THANK YOU!!!! That's the bloody difference. Ronaldo was in the squad, the others weren't. That's why it's worse what Ronaldo did. People don't bring this nuance up when speaking on the Vallecano situation
@@johnatancarassa1317 Duhh!!! If you're not in the squad, leaving a pre season game early doesn't really matter. If you're in the squad, you must stay till the end
@@michael43567 so then why would ETH even bother correcting them saying 8 walked out? For all he cares about only 1 was on the squad.. you see the difference is, eth doesn’t view this the way you want him to. This is a matter of respect, even if you were just a regular guest invited to sit on the squad bench for whatever reason, if you walk away before the game ends it’s disrespectful! So when the respect is neglected by multiple players, call them out equally! Irrespective of being on squad or not! The fans don’t fucking know who’s on and who isn’t, for all they know they all got warmup kits 🤷🏽♂️
martin talks from a place the other two won't understand , he is a former Professional player in a great team that was very successful and with a very big dressing room full with egos , so when he uses the jungle analogy he is being very realistic .
Martin Keown doesn't half talk some rubbish.
My God rubbish, I couldn't watch the whole interview I nearly puked. Listening to Martin Keown it was nearly ambulance time
Media: this should’ve been kept behind closed doors!
Also media: he should’ve named people!
He should have kept quiet if he wasn't going to call out specific person
What’s wrong with that? Two things can be correct, the interview shouldn’t have happened, but it has happened and the least you can do if it is gonna be public is actually get proper information
@@Len2415 He called out the club president,Glazers,Ten Hag,Antony and other players who missed preseason just like him and started first team football. He called out the youngsters and the infrastructure of the club. How much more name dropping u need numbnut
Oh you throw freedom of speech away because its Man U?
@@user-io8cm4dk1f the biggest issue we have seen is ETH and Ronaldo. He said the glazers and upper management are morons and don’t know what they are doing. This has been known long before Ronaldo came back in 2021. He mentioned the infrastructure of United are not up to par with other clubs. He said he doesn’t respect ETH because ETH doesn’t respect him. To me it all started with the Spurs game. If you actually watch football ETH would’ve brought on a defensive player to protect the lead not an attacking player. ETH won’t be successful as long as the glazers are still in charge. Funny how Mourinho got flack for criticism of lazy players and the media called him out. Now that Ronaldo is doing the same he should be criticized 😂 the hypocrisy is outrageous. Mourinho is and was a better manager than ETH will ever be.
Keown doesn't follow Man United. The root of Ronaldo's issue is him not being played, period! Further, Ten Hag defended him and pointed out that he wasn't alone when the MEDIA focused on him only when he left early during the preseason game.
Appreciate the push-back by Martin
''the young players dont know how to suffer; they have it to easy compared to me''
''the technology and facilities aren't simple and luxurious enough for the players; its the same when i was there''
Ronaldo lives in fear that he will not be regarded as the GOAT and Messi will. He wasn’t being played and that means his records could be overtaken. That’s why he wants out and has created this situation to force it. Call it competitiveness, call it vanity. That is what is driving this. You either admire the drive or hate the egoism. For me, his lack of self awareness is that it is his performance dwindling that has caused the lack of playing time, not an agenda against him. All heroes fade out.
Well said!!
Yep 👏🏼
Perfectly put
Both would not be allowed to tie the shoe laces of Maradona . This whole Ronaldo vs Messi discussion is for 7 year olds at schoolyard .
Spot on
Ronaldo is confusing Respect with preferential treatment
Why would he say the actual name of the person who doubted him ? He's not going to it's outright slander. Don't quite get jim or Simons stand on this to be honest. Totally agree with Martin
Feel sorry for you that your IQ is that low you can only side with Martin after listening to that entire debate
It's only slander if it isn't true.....
As an Arsenal fan, can we start to wash our hands of Keown? I don't even know what his point is here. I actually don't even think anybody in that studio know's

@@davidblush Only one? I don't think you know a quarter of the personal loss everyone is dealing with. I am glad common sense can still prevail despite that. You can choose to believe the "feelings" over that. Anyway, Martin focused on showing us the mindset of an elite player, not what you think or are alluding to.
Martin Keown good lord 😆
If Ronaldo was English he would get overwhelming respect from the media 🤔
Hahahaha are you serious? English players get BATTERED in the English press. Gasgoine, Terry, Ferdinand, Rooney... there's dozens who've been hung out to dry and arguably had their reputations ruined by the English press
@@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN None on your list have half a billion followers on social media......so be quiet.

Simon just wants to be right whereas Martin sees both sides.
Why didn't CR7 say that he thanked the club for their support at the time yet only says he felt they doubted him? Why did CR7 say a City signing was very close when City after the interview denied those claims with a statement? Simon is right, because Piers didn't question anything CR7 literally got to say anything he likes with no recourse!! Mark my words, in the upcoming weeks a lot of what CR7 said will be questioned in more detail!!

What slanders was Ronaldo responding to from United? Uniteds social Media was non stop ronaldo ball washing whenever I saw it
Not social media. It's more clever than that tbf. It's stuff from media sources. Not social media. "Ball washing" Ronaldo on social media is good for business.
It's calling him great, using him for marketing, but also not playing him due to lacking a pre-season, and looking to sub him on in the 88th minute like he's a youth player.
I honestly rate it, though. From EtH, that is.
Don't you listen?? Nothing worth than a summarised fool.
@@animelytical8354 "Not playing him due to lack of pre-season" Nah, ETH isn't playing him because he's no longer good at football and he needs to retire. This old man can't accept that he's no longer who he once was and that's where the massive issue comes in
@@animelytical8354 haven't his poor performances this season proved that he needed a pre season?
You speak of ONE game he was asked to come on for two minutes. What about the 10/14 premier league games he played a part of? Or the 6/6 europa games?
All that gets thrown out the window cause of one game?????
Some say Simon is still asking “to what end”
Simon Jordan has limited ideas on how people are treated by companies, i have worked for managment that refused staff time off to visit sick family in hospital, also instructig staff in that department not to swap shifts to allow that person time to visit, same company would not let an employee have a day off to go to a family funeral unless they produced a death certificate, which kind of makes it impossible having to ask a grieving relative for a death certificate so you could take it into work and show a manager.
Yea sure
I broke my leg a few months ago, got back from hospital at 4am and had to be on client calls at 9am a few hrs later. No option to skip it / phone in sick. When ronaldo says "piece of meat" he speaks to a lot of people.
The £500k a week isnt a point of difference since it's relative to what he generates through endorsements, brand recognition, marketing contracts and performances (20goals and he dragged them through champions lg group stages probably generating ManUtd more than his wages!!)
He didn't deny that it happened. He said that if it did happen, the man who did it should be named and given the opportunity to reply
@@andyp5693 but Ronaldo was allowed time off... so what's your point 😂
You're just like Ronaldo then
I think both have some good points, but are equally half right. Btw, I enjoy Martins ability to wait his turn and speak with a calm yet resolute tone.
"My haters are my motivators" CR7! Keep going Simon.
Yes motivate him to Saudi Arabia
Simon said many times he’s a Ronaldo fan
Simon is spot on, Ronaldo is being childish and entitled.Just look at the stats , under Ten Hag Utd have been better in every departament. I also think it is telling he walked off on Utd's best display of the season, against Spurs.He could not handle how well they were playing. The interview is a joke.

Martin's always good for a laugh.
Its so aggravating and interesting to listen to him, i need to pause it sometimes for a break mid monologue
It wouldn't be funny if you were his wife or kids.
I feels like Martin is under Piers or cristiano's payroll 😀
Rubbish
And Simon is on Ten hags or Lord Maguire payroll
It's ironic, that's about lack of respect but in the same interview people (some are pundits) are being called rats for having criticism.
Keown needs to do his research..
- He mentions 100% no respect from ETH and says that Ronaldo wasn’t believed about his children in the same breath, Ronaldo never said ETH didn’t believe him about that he said the senior officials didn’t.
- He said that when 8 players left early only his name was mentioned, yes by the media, ETH always maintained that it wasn’t only Ronaldo whenever he was asked about it in interviews.
You can call the only people that are defending Ronaldo clearly haven't watched him play this season.
@@mohamedabbas1986 what does last season have to do with season?
@@mohamedabbas1986 you play players based on their form this season, not 7 months ago, he had about 20 chances put on a plate for him over 2 games against a Cypriot pub team and couldn’t even score from 6 yards out with an open goal.
Martial has played 300 mins less PL football than Ronaldo this season and has twice as many goals! 😂
@@martinstevens7172 so Rashford better than him ..haha..what a joke
Part of the reason why his name was the only one even mentioned was because out of the 8 people that left that day. Ronaldo was the only one that actually played during the game and left before the game ended. The rest of those players weren't playing.
Having watched this clip, I believe that Martin Keown is a supporter of the Green Party.
Jordan is 100% right. I can’t believe he has to repeat his say so often. The only problem for Ronaldo is that the manager treats every player equal regardless of status or history.

@@saumildesai2442 if saf told him to jump off a cliff would he? Is it also unfair that he's gotten older but his mentality hasn't? Ronaldo was a great player but this never changing attitude ruins him. Messi has taken that number 1 spot by far after this
@@saumildesai2442 Are you Ronaldo because that is an absurd way to perceive everything and some blatantly untrue
@@ashwilliams4959 So you didn't watch Messi's interview?
Extremely shallow analysis from Keown! Literally as if he was forced to support Ronaldo at all costs by the show's producers
5 pts for Simon:
1-Ronaldo cares 100x more about playing and winning than his Man Utd salary
2-you can't call him a liar (disrespectful) for the whole show and then state that no one disrespected him at United
3-watch UA-cam or TV and see several man united club personnel questioning if it was a good move for United to get Ronaldo
4-tell the listeners which premier clubs in the last 20 years have benched (for most of the season) strikers that scored 24 goals the previous season
5-think before speaking in a public show, listeners will fact check you
But he lied about the closeness of the City signing.. City issued a statement refuting his statement
He didn't mention that when he "felt" the club doubted him and didn't show support when his child was ill yet thanked the club for their support at the time
The fact he is now moaning about the state of the stadium and infrastructure yet didn't say a word last season when he was scoring and playing more and under a manager who was weak in Ole but now because he has a strong manager who won't bow down to him and keeps him on the bench he suddenly calls out the owners. He did it for his own benefit and not the benefit of the fans!!
The childish one is the media who kept attacking one man over and over. Sign of small characters mentality
Lionel has always talked a lot more succinct and Elegantly to the media.
When he’s being on the news for whatever reason.
Ronaldo putting the final nail in the coffin of the cr7 vs Messi argument 😂 at the end of his career
One interview decides football debate?
I find it so odd that you guys can't take in football information without constantly having the same man in your head to think about, it's wierd
Please don’t bring up that ligue 1 guy, nobody is even watching his games…
It's so easy to judge when you are not good enough to be like the ones that you judge.
I am following the comments on Ronaldo and I see a huge difference between the respect great players have for Ronaldo and those journalists. Journalists often play god particularly the English ones.
You guys sit there and keep criticizing the man. I doubt if any of you have been in that shoe your entire life. It’s Easier said than done. Keeps saying he’s childish like he’s not entitled to his opinion because he’s Ronaldo. Keeps saying he should have set a good example because he’s God
Jim would roll out the red carpet for sure! He'd be like a kid on Christmas day watching Simon and Ronaldo go at it 😂
I’ve watched a few videos on this channel on different topics. With all due respect, Simon Jordan doesn’t have a clue. His biggest contribution to the sport is his opinion, like the rest of us.
Fair play for Keown to defend him, too many people who miss the players side
Haha

❌❌❌CR was no more than a good finisher. That’s all. He was NEVER even near the top ten best players in the world. It is pure insanity to put him in the same level as Messi or even Neymar. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Martin pretty much covered it all in the 1st bit here
What nobody is mentioning is that he quickly backtracked in the interview to then saying they did believe him, when Piers questioned him further about that. I'm not saying he may not have felt initially that wasn't the case, but he gave no context to support that. The evidence shows also they allowed him that time off.
Glad that you picked that up .. he clear,y states they did believe him and then adds something complete irrelevant … but it’s pretty obvious .. they did believe him .
@@wengelder9256 Exactly. Lol I can't believe someone hasn't pointed that out in the media.
He also said he had to prove by showing them actual medical reports of his sick child. Get the impression he been punished for having a break from ftball during most harrowing time in his life. Mentions very explicitly the support of the people of England, Royal family yet he didn't say thanks to Mutd as a club, his teamates etc not once. as if they were not there supporting him in his one time an only time of need esp after everything he has given. If SAF had been there u can guarantee he an Keane Neville Rio et Al would've told the press to leave off their tmate. For the FA to be going on about mental health rightly so and encouraging players to talk about things. Seems like no one was there supporting Cr7 as if he is a machine programmed only to care about footie.

@@noneofyourbusiness-c7h simon spot on
Martin Keown is absolutely on point ..so smart .. way smarter than Jordan....Jordan sounds like an absolute hater
Pantomime season has started earlier than usual...
Piers to Ronaldo: "The fans are behind you!"
Simon to Ronaldo: "I bet they're fucking not!"
It is sad to see this guys trying so hard for the last 10 years to reach Ronaldo .I hope atleast Ronaldo knows their name .
Simon Jordan is the voice of reason; absolutely agree with him... Ronaldo is absolutely in my opinion if it's his 'truth' PARANOID, there is a difference between what someone feels (could be paranoia!) and the truth, I find it hard to believe the amount they agreed to pay, his stature, and the risk it would take, CR7 PLAYED GAMES and underperformed.
And that's not paranoid it's his side and every side has two stories is the better way to say it then just questioning someone's mental ability. If you can't process the interview then you are a fool.
1. Doubting his words
2. Him trying to give ideas and you must be remembering right why United bought casemiro and Antony because United lost badly otherwise they were going for arnautovic and rabiot .
3. Different rules for different players example Eriksen Antony
4. And remember he said he doesn't felt motivated at all to play for them.
Now about his wages, he gives them more by his image and the market value he possess.
He demands respect because of his GOAT status, but he feels he is unfairly treated when he broke rules with 8 other GOATless players.
As for Ronaldo he wants respect he gets £500,000 a week there is your respect Mr Ronaldo, no other club would have paid you that, plus no other club will pay him that in the future, plus what club wants him with all that baggage. The only part of that interview that I felt for him was the tragedy in his life, that was so sad and anyone no matter who they are deserves time and support. I do question who it was that didn't believe him about his daughter given he didn't name names, he called out other ex-players and even not naming his current team mates who he thinks are professional, so why not name the individual at the top of Man Utds hierarchy, probably because he would be sued for defamation, because without proof you can't accuse someone. Also can you imagine if someone did sit down with Piers Morgan from the club do you think they would be given the same easy, no hard question, soft interview from Morgan, what a hypocrite that man is!. Well done Simon Jordan you put Morgan in his place, again Morgan's asking if Ronaldo has more millions in money or followers that's just what the people, the fans want to hear, to all of us who are struggling to live at the moment, its okay for Morgan he's rich, mind you he did make money off the back of making up a story about the British Armed Forces and put the Armed Forces in harms way after the made up story, how is that man allowed to even allowed on TV or Radio.
I wouldn’t compare Ronaldo’s current form to Messi, Lionel is playing much more in form right now. Some of that is due to Messi’s position and the structure built around him at PSG, (Mbappe and Neymar for one) but Ronaldo hasn’t played well when he’s had the chance. I agree with Simon as to the interview being more of a speech with Piers Morgan spoon feeding Ronaldo easy questions with no critical insight or follow up. It’s easy to side with Ronaldo on a lot of issues, but the timing of this interview has to be questioned and an appropriate amount of responsibility put on Cristiano himself for creating his own drama. I can separate my love and empathy for the player with the need for professional behavior. Ronaldo knew where he was coming when he agreed to come to MU, any complaints about infrastructure etc. would have been seen before he signed a contract.

@@saumildesai2442 Interesting take, however, you forgot that as soon as United were out of Champinos League for next season Ronaldo would have been looking for an exit. Ronaldo made a poor decision by not accepting any offer from any other club. The salary was probaly the stumbling block, had he accepted to play for a nominal wage and perhaps 300,000 per goal he could have gone to any club in Champions league, for example, Sevilla, Athletico Madrid, Napoli, Milan, Marsella etc. They would all have taken him, but he wanted the salary he was having at Man Utd. and that meant only a few clubs could afford that and they didn't need him. His greed caused him to lose the opportunity to continue at the top level this season in a major club.

@@fcb3266 dont know man, something doesnt feels right about that statement , we are only listening to one side now,
Media since 6 months : "Why isn't Ronaldo having the balls to speak up ? He has the professional responsibility to speak to us about what's going on. He has to speak why we fail a game especially when he is wearing the arm band. He has to speak up for his team mates. He has to speak up against the culture and the Glazers"
Media since Ronaldo spoke,"You cannot speak up like that. You should have done it behind closed doors. You cannot put your mates under the bus. You cannot speak against your boss. You cannot give interview to Piers Morgan instead of us. You cannot give an interview without being challenged at Gun Point. You cannot have an interviewer say nice things about you. Ronaldo should call himself unfit, ugly, infamous"
I've always seen and defended Ronaldo when people spoke badly about his behavior. And now he has proven them all right. Barca in a financial situation and needed to downgrade, Messi is the sacrifice no one heard about it.
So where was the outrage when Messi called CONMEBOL a corrupt body ?
Or when he criticized the pitches, or when he said "the ball is like a rabbit" .
If Ronaldo had done that the media will be all over him.
When Messi disrespected Pochettino were was the outrage?
When Messi scored 11 goals last season in all competition for PSG. Why did the media not say he was finished or in decline?
Ronaldo score 24 goals and was still labelled as the problem...
Please let us remember that these players however great they are, they are also humans and they have got feelings too
They didn't trust him because he was touting himself around Europe to leave the club right in their face. Utd are not my club but I don't belive they wouldn't show him compassion regarding his sick daughter.
Who of them has come out to deny it...UTD as a whole club has issues, Ronaldo is not the first to speak out, Sanchez wanted he's agent to terminate the deal, Mourinho said it was his biggest achievement in the game to finish second with UTD,and many players...it's only that Ronnie came out when he's still at the club.
Agree wit Martin Keown 100%
Me too
It’s not the club that hasn’t moved forward it’s the player- the modern game is a squad game and he is part of a squad but he thinks he’s still the best- very sad
He was the best player in that dirge a few months ago,United are still 5th ffs 😂😂😂
@@chrisdee1583 he fired three coaches and ran the team for himself and to the detriment of everyone else, club, teammates, fans, owners…
@@mnemonija Well that's more accolades to add to his collection then eh? 🤣🤣👍
@@chrisdee1583 we are 5th because of him! We aren't conceding goals we just aren't scoring and he's the one with the most minutes up top!
@@eth9334 Play Martial then he's definitely a better striker 😂😂😂👍
Erik Ten Hag is an elite manager and for him the team comes first at all costs, and we can see that on the pitch.
Ronaldo thinks he's the elite player that he was and he is better than everybody else.
EtH is giving the same treatment that SAF would give - "dont care who you are.. team is first"
Don't think you understand what Elite is tbh
A: I don;t care who you are. team is first.
A: Also, you will be playing only for the last 3 minutes as I respect you.
lmao
@@jamesrowen7421 lol
what has he done to prove he is an ELITE manager? Nothing
CR played 300+ minutes out of 360+ minutes in 4 games between the MC and THFC games... I don't think being asked to come on with 3 minutes + injury time is not an insult.
“Simon Jordan & Martin Keown clash” what else is new 😂
I agree with Simon. Throughout the interview Ronaldo kept whining. He felt disrespected by being asked to come on for the last 3 minutes. Well guess what pal......you are not suited to a pressing style and neither the player you once were. And since you love to call yourself a top professional, be a professional a d do your job. You are getting paid 500K per week to do it
😂😂😂 the wall chart
Ronaldo 45 games in 2022 scored in 5 games please zip it Martin
2 goals in 55 shots is even worse 🤣
I think for a period now Ronaldo has been emotionally unstable and he needed to release them off his mind to be mind-free for the world cup. If he also want to prove to people he still got some left, this tournament is all he needed for him and the country as a whole
This argument is so dumb. Simon wants Ronaldo to name names but if he had done that, the entire media will feed on it, and because it's a subject of a word against the other with no proof, Ronaldo would then be sued for his allegations and then the situation gets only legally worse for him. As a former owner of a club, this should be understood right? I'm a Man Utd fan, but based on the way the club has carried itself in the post-Fergie era, Ronaldo is obviously bigger than the club. Ibrahimovich and many star players said similar things about the Marketing club. British media is lucky they have one of the best players in the premier league for their ratings. I bet you they would hate it when he leaves.
If there's no proof then don't say it? And if you really believe it to be true why shouldn't you name names? He was still paid so that's enough proof they believed his word.
Ronaldos first stint at United was also under the Glazers, if he knows how bad they are why did he come back?
And the Premier league in no way needs Ronaldo, he was gone 12 years and they were breaking records with their TV deals all the time
🤣 Love the arguments both Simon and Martin produce. Respectful yet intriguing insights from both sides.
Simon Jordon has hit the nail on the head. Everything else Ronaldo said is handbags. But to claim Man Utd did NOT fully support his family while his child was seriously ill is not only inconceivable, but also unforgivable. Of course Man Utd would have supported him & his family 110% during such a time. Why? All the other players have got kids to!!!!!!!! If Man Utd had NOT supported him & his family during such a time, we would have heard about the matter long ago because there would have been open warfare between the entire 1st time squad and the club's hierarchy - SIMPLE AS 😠😠😠😠😠
Well said. He's simply lying, as he always has done.
Why is it “did Ten Hag disrespect Ronaldo?” And not “Did Ronaldo disrespect Ten Hag?”
Because Ronaldo is a lot more credible to be honest. You’re underestimating who Cristiano Ronaldo is.
Jim and Jordan are just waiting to criticize CR7 and the interview no matter what.. two love birds together can join hands and take a walk 😂
Maybe Cristiano will ask you out on a date if he reads this. You can take a walk and hold hands with him. His other boyfriends might get jealous, though, so be careful
Cristiano isn't going to sleep with you mate
@@jhpfdijtuiweruot Ohh here comes Simons puppet or a talksport bot
@@shrutibaadkar8826 Eh? How does that make sense? I didn't say anything about either of those
@@jhpfdijtuiweruot ignore them they are sheep all they say is “Ronaldo won’t sleep with you” because they can’t think about anything else
This is such a simple incident. Ronaldo’s profile complicates it, but when you distill it - absolutely unacceptable behaviour. I agree with Danny Murphy - I don’t like his demeanour and I doubt he is a club player that encourages changes in a young team’s behaviour. Any other industry, he is absolutely gone without a question.
This narrative of the club didnt beleive him is fabricated. Ronaldo "thinks" they didnt beleive him. Jordan is so right.
What I find quite amusing is how much Piers Morgan was sucking Ronaldo off in this interview. In almost all of his previous sit downs,he’s very hard and pushes his guests to annoyance . It all makes sense now why Ronaldo would choose him of all journalists to conduct this interview. I feel like he could’ve pushed Ronaldo more on some of the issues he was bringing up but I digress. This “interview” was just Ronaldo airing out his grievances and Piers validating him. Just some food for thought 💭.
MOTM performance from Simon today. Cooked Piers and Martin back to back
The only thing he cooked is himself by doubting the existence of the Saudi interest in Ronaldo. Shows just how out of touch and out of scope he is. Fabrizio confirmed it existed.
Simon is insensitive... Martin is so on point
Wonder how the Ronaldo conversation will go if ETH gets sack at the end of the season.
Oh martin bore off
6:57 “it’s the wrong mindset” and there folks is what gives it away that he was never an elite athlete. I looked up Simon Jordan and BINGO he’s a businessman/journalist… Martin understands what it takes to make it at the professional level. On top of being an elite footballer, Cristiano is the elite of the elite. These arm chair football journalist need to slag off..
I never hear anything but complete nonsense come out of Keowns mouth

Ronaldo should listen to Simon and take names. Simon will pay for the legal circus that follows.
Oh, did he huwt Wonaldos feewings?
@@mnemonija He didn't hurt feelings. Just that his ideas will get Ron embroiled in a long drawn legal battle. Which to translate for you, is not a smart idea.
Easy to accuse and smear without giving a name. We've only Ronaldo's word that this even happened
@@f3aok It's ok if you don't believe him. He's not getting his bum sued to satisfy your curiosity.

For all those invoking MESSI in this discussion, please answer these;
where was the outrage when Messi called CONMEBOL a corrupt body ?
Or when he criticized the pitches, or when he said "the ball is like a rabbit" .
If Ronaldo had done that the media will be all over him.
When Messi disrespected Pochettino were was the outrage?

Ronaldo score 24 goals and was still labelled as the problem...
Please let us remember that these players however great they are, they are also humans and they have got feelings too
Ronaldo scored 24 goals and made 3 assists last season.
Messi scored 11 goals and made 14 assists last season.
Their stats are quite similar.
Does Martin actually have a thought of his own? Maybe instead of simply repeating Ronaldo's version of events you could, I don't know, think critically about it and present an opinion beyond "yeah but he says he felt this"
Cr7 deluded he's talking as if it's 2008 and he's unplayable...
Can't argue with his achievements, but he can't do what his brain thinks he can do. 3 goals in 10 games says it all
