Cristiano Ronaldo
On Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo made his sensational comeback for Manchester United. Before that, the Portuguese gave a rousing speech.
The 36-year-old had only returned from Juventus Turin to the “Red Devils” at the end of August for 15 million euros, leading United to a 4-1 win against Newcastle United with a brace.
The Portuguese superstar had already given a speech the evening before, which left a deep impression on his team-mates, as an eyewitness reported to the “Sun”. As before every game, the Premier League club's footballers were sitting together over dinner on the eve of the game when the five-time world footballer spoke.
“Ronaldo's speech was very powerful and uplifting. All the players and the coaching staff listened reverently,” said the eyewitness. And further: “He said to his teammates: 'I came back for two reasons. The first is: I love the club. The second is: I love the winning mentality that is spreading in this club. I did not come back, to be a cheerleader. If you want to be successful, then I have to be sure that you love this club deep in your heart´ “, so the motivational speech of the newcomer.
Ronaldo went on to say that he has great teammates at United and believes in them. That's why he came back. The speech apparently left a lasting impression on the other players. There should have been applause for the 36-year-old.
In the first interview after his return to Old Trafford, Ronaldo stated that he had come to win titles. In any case, the Portuguese cannot deny the winning mentality …
