Ferdinand said in radio statements: “For me, what matters to me at the beginning, to return to the summer, was the coach wanted, or not, there should be communication, he should have explained:” You will not go, I will keep you, but you will not be a player Essentially. ” Communication is crucial, particularly when it comes to a player like Cristiano, who was the team’s leading scorer the previous season. Will he play only five minutes, or will the coach consider him to be the ninth player?
“I don’t justify Cristiano Ronaldo or what he did at the Tottenham meeting, but had the coach communicated sooner and clarified Ronaldo’s position inside the squad, things may not have come to this.
”
He also added: “When Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge, he used to warn the players that he would sit out the next two games but that he would be actively involved in the third one. As a result, do not respond emotionally the next week. He used to do this before every meeting.
“Cristiano Ronaldo made a mistake in his action, and I do not argue that the coach erred in making the disciplinary decision, but when we look at the overall picture, this behaviour might have been avoided. As a coach, your job is to pay attention to the big picture; this is what you should do.
