It was right man to step up, because it's what he gets paid for. I guess writing on public forum ain't what you're getting paid for, so why here?
What a load of shit for real. That's the problem with the internet, that a video made by stupid people and some other idiots are buying the agenda. They're showing he presses the least from top 5 leagues in the world, then showing up the names of some random strikers up there to boost the agenda, that he's even worse than these guys instead of showing Messi's, Salah's, Lewandowki's etc.
Pressing ain't something you're doing by yourself. You're supposed to do it as an unit and if you look at the Pool's first goal, it was 3 step press, where Bruno started it with a long run from the middlefield like a headless chicken, then strikers followed him 5 seconds later and then middlefield followed it couple seconds later. It turned out to be that once Bruno and strikers finished the press, ball was already past them and middlefield was moving up while ball already being past their strikers and with couple of passes, Pool got free 2v1. Man Utd just doesn't have smart players around there to work as an unit, whether it's pressing or just team play in general. They should do what most NT are doing, aka sitting quite deep and defending instead of wanting to play the most beautiful football, just because it's way easier to organize considering how they ain't together for a whole year to practice the tactics. There's a formation and system for stupid players, it tells you where to be because your own brains cannot comprehend how to play the game. That is why all these formations were invented.
Long season and 90min press every game, go ahead. Let me see these team doing it and Pep has been falling short multiple times in the spring because of this. Lots of games, tight schedule and managers trusting their starting 11 in tough leagues to fight for the domestic titles as well, while trying to play UCL, cup games and NT games on top of that. How smart it is, to always press, press and press? Is it some kind of media sexy word now once Ronaldo joined to Utd, meanwhile Pogba hasn't done it like ever? I'v seen the most pressing teams always falling short at some point, either by the injuries or just gassing out. It might be effective for a while, for a year but if you win everything and being in the finals of every tournament and your players are playing hundreds of these games in a short span, you're just wearing them out big time and then the slump comes, just like it happened to Liverpool last season by losing 5 home game straight and losing the players to injuries non stop.
People should wake up about these articles for so called "sport analysts" who are just analyzing things, for the sake of analyzing. I could make an analyze about an apple and find all the details why it has the health benefits n shit, but in the end, it's just an apple. Just like pressing, it ain't the only way to play the game and you're shooting yourself on the foot more often in a long run considering, there ain't 4 lines keeping up with the intensity while having the shifts just like in hockey. Ronaldo invests on those short bursts, all out intensity to get an advatange compared to defender. Anyone can jog 15km's a game with 10kmh pace no problem, but do that 90mins interval type and it feels way worse even km's are less. Ronaldo's job is to score goals and be sharp when chance comes, as he has done for fucking 20 years instead running like a headless chicken for a press full of teenagers with zero understanding of the game. These nerds with the glasses on and more experience on the HMTL than social life, neither to actually do sports their entire lifes should never be allowed to analyze anything, unless they've had the practical experience about how it works in real.
