“I had the best in front of me and I had half an hour to make a fool of myself …”

The Everton midfielder, Andros Townsend, went through the Talksport microphones on Monday to talk about the tie at Old Trafford against Manchester United. The Englishman scored the tying goal and imitated Cristiano's celebration and then went to ask for the shirt. This is how he narrated the experience.

“You can see him at the end of the game, I ran straight towards him. I don't know what he was complaining about, but he wasn't doing it in English. He was mumbling in Portuguese and I asked him if he could give me the shirt three or four times and until he answered me and told me that he would give it to me inside. I waited for him and the utility man brought it to me. That shirt means a lot to me, “he said about the shirt.

The celebration also had its intrahistory and that is that Townsend feared the worst after copying Cristiano. “We talked about the celebration the day before we went to Manchester. The guys said, would you do it if you score? and I said yes, but only if I was sure it was a goal to win or in the final minutes, so that Cristiano would not have a chance to reply. I was scared when I did it and saw that it was the 65th minute. I had the best of all ahead with half an hour to leave me like a fool and score the winning goal. Fortunately, it did not. Every ball that reached the area, I thought “it's going to leave me like a real fool”, but we get the point, “he sentenced.

Criticism of Solskjaer

On the Everton game and adding to the critical line of Solskjaer for the last games was also Agbonlahor. The former Villa criticized that the Norwegian left Cristiano on the bench until he had to come back. “” Not starting Cristiano should be cause for dismissal. To beat Everton you need your strongest team. Now you are going to an international break, not that I had to chain more games this week. Now he sends Ronaldo frustrated with his selection. He should have played and Pogba and Lingard, too, “said the former player on 'talkSPORT'.
