Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has given his reasons for never bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This comes after the striker’s name was frequently linked to Atletico Madrid during the summer as he sought a transfer for Champions League football.
At the time, there was indignation among the supporters, with one group referring to Ronaldo as “the opposite” of Ateltico’s principles.
Simeone now claims that the deal never would have taken place and cites the 37-year-tenure old’s at Real Madrid as a contributing reason.
The rumors are very different from what actually occurred, he told Marca. Sometimes, people speak to convey their own desires rather than what actually occurs.
Ronaldo is unquestionably a Real Madrid icon. Just as I wouldn’t see [Martin] Palermo or [Juan Roman] Riquelme or [Ariel] Ortega] play in River, neither would I see them play in Boca. Certain circumstances are quite clear.
The Portuguese forward had a remarkable record with Real, scoring 450 goals over a nine-season span while also winning two La Liga championships and four Champions Leagues.
Additionally, he has his highest goal total against any team with 25 goals in 37 appearances against Atletico.
