Cristiano: “Guardiola did everything possible to bring me to City”

MADRID, 17 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo left more headlines on television this Wednesday and stated that he was close to signing for Manchester City, at the same time that he confessed that Pep Guardiola “did everything possible” to bring him to the neighboring team.

“I was close to going to Manchester City, it’s something I talked about a lot. They tried a lot. Guardiola did everything possible to take me to City. But my heart, my feeling, what I had done before and Sir Alex Ferguson made the difference”, he confessed in the interview to TalkTV that already began on Sunday.

The Portuguese star once again criticized his current club and made it clear that his return to Manchester surprised him “for bad”. “When I signed for United I expected something to have changed, I spent nine years at Madrid, then at Juventus… But I was surprised for the worse. Everything was still the same, the technology, everything. It’s something that surprised me, not I expected it. Everything was the same,” he said.

“Right now it is a club that is not at the highest level. I hope that in the future they can be again. They have not moved, it is as if the clock had stopped,” said the Portuguese, who acknowledged that the criticism has not they affect him and that he doesn’t like wasting time with people “who don’t like him”.

The interview, which will continue this Thursday, already had a breakthrough on Sunday in which the Portuguese footballer lashed out at his coach, Erik ten Hag, whom he “does not respect”, as well as against some leaders of the ‘Red Devils’, for feeling “betrayed”, and his former teammate Wayne Rooney.
