The head coach of the "Bayer" team, Erik ten Hag, was asked about striker Cristiano Ronaldo. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
It is known that ten Hag previously worked at "Manchester United" and at that time Ronaldo was also part of the team. The Dutch specialist did not see the Portuguese player in the starting lineup during the 2022/23 season.
During that season, Ronaldo terminated his contract with the club and moved to the Saudi Arabian team "Al-Nasr" at the beginning of 2023. He is still playing for this club today.
Recently, the 40-year-old Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a friendly match against Portugal's "Riu Ave" team, and his team won 4:0. After this event, journalists asked Erik ten Hag if he still considered Ronaldo to be a problem for "Manchester United."
In response, the head coach said, "He has never been a problem. Those matters are already in the past.
After that, we won two trophies. I only wish the best for Cristiano," he said.
It should be noted that Erik ten Hag was relieved of his duties as head coach of "Manchester United" in October 2024 and was appointed as the head coach of the "Bayer" team in the summer of that year.
