In the world of European football, a new comment has appeared on a topic that has sparked many discussions — the relationship between Erik ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo. Bayer Leverkusen’s head coach, the experienced Dutch specialist Ten Hag, shared his sincere thoughts about the Portuguese star in a recent interview.
It should be recalled that during his time at Manchester United, the relationship between Ten Hag and Ronaldo became a subject of heated debates in the football community. Especially in November 2022, when Cristiano openly criticized the coach in an interview, causing a major stir. After that, the famous forward parted ways with the club.
However, Ten Hag approached the matter differently:
— “Ronaldo has never been a problem for me. I think all of this is in the past. Such things happened, but after that we won two important trophies with Manchester United. I wish him only the best in the future,” said the Bayer coach.
Ten Hag’s words especially pleased Ronaldo’s fans, as many believed their relationship had completely deteriorated. But the coach himself stated that he had always treated the bright striker with respect.
In addition, under Ten Hag’s leadership, Bayer Leverkusen recently played a friendly match. The German club faced London’s Chelsea and suffered a 0-2 defeat. This game gave the coach a chance to evaluate the team’s strengths and weaknesses before the new season.
Ten Hag’s sincere words about Ronaldo and vivid memories show that, no matter how complicated relationships with the big stars of the football world may be, respect and good wishes can remain intact.
It is clear that this topic will continue to spark interest among football fans, and both Ronaldo and Ten Hag will go on writing new chapters in their careers.
