MADRID, 23 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag celebrated the arrival of Brazilian midfielder Carlos Enrique Casemiro, a player who “knows the way to win games and how to win titles”, while he made it clear that he has Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo despite to his little participation against Liverpool.
“He has won many trophies in his career, he knows the way to win games and how to win titles. We also have more players who have won many trophies in their career,” Ten Hag said after Monday’s game against Liverpool.
For the Dutch coach, this experience of the former Madrid player, who was present at Old Trafford to see the victory against the ‘reds’, and other players “has to serve as a guide for the rest of the team, so that they understand how to win things”.
Ten Hag also referred to Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not start and did not come on until the 86th minute. “He has spent his entire career under many coaches, with different styles and systems, and he has always performed, so why what is not going to be able to here?”, he assured.
The substitution of the Portuguese is based, according to Ten Hag, on the specific game plan that he prepared to face Liverpool. “We have a squad and a way of playing, a style, but also a game plan,” he warned.
“I always look for the best way to approach games. We need a squad because we have many games to cover and we have to make a team, get together to achieve the goals, and I am confident that we will do it,” said the United coach.
In addition, he does not see any inconvenience in the veteran of Madeira for this season. “His age is not a problem. If you’re good, you’re a certain age and you’re still performing at the level, you’re still good,” he said.
