In the second half, I noticed that Eric Ten Hag called Christiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial to start warming up, but it's only Anthony Martial that later played, Ronaldo didn't play and when he was asked why didn't he play Ronaldo, he said he don't want the match result to affect Christiano Ronaldo's career but Peer Morgan and some others talk against that statement, Peer Morgan said Eric Ten Hag is too arrogant, that they just made Christiano Ronaldo sit on bench and keep wasting his time. Ten Hag didn't say more than that, he didn't give more explanation to that statement that but i don't know if that's the reason of not but If he really want to play Ronaldo, he would start him.
Last season, Ronaldo still scored against Manchester City, even Pep Guardiola panic him, once he's given chance, he scores, as he's not on the field, the Manchester City defenders really have chance to leave the back to join the attackers. Even big players like Christiano Ronaldo don't like playing after the match has been resulted to much loss of goals or when things isn't in good condition, although they might not say it out because that's what they signed up for but in their actions, you would notice it. Ronaldo can't be expected to score the whole 4 goals that Manchester United has conceded, so thanks to Ten Hag for not even introducing Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi has did it against Bayern Munich, he was on bench and suppose to play that year but he shook his head that he is not coming in, it was the year that Bayern Munich beat Barcelona with 8-2 in both home and away. Kun Aguero has done the same thing at Manchester City, Carlos Tevez did the same thing in the time of Roberto Mancini at Manchester City. That kind of match, they won't show the other players again, Christiano Ronaldo is the one that camera would keep following here and there. José Morinho's first match at Real Madrid, Ronaldo was there on the pitch when Barcelona trashed them with 5-0, the record is still intact.
