It is said that in Europe football is lived in a different way, less passionate than in these latitudes.
But when feelings come into play,
there are reactions that are universal
.
And in the last hours something of that is being experienced in Manchester, a city where life beats to the rhythm of the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the same man who left Portugal 18 years ago as a promising young man to begin his legendary career at United, could return there but to play against Pep Guardiola's City.
In Europe, someone pushed a "random" button in the transfer market and the most powerful clubs are suffering last-minute transfers (actually
the fans are the ones who suffer, always
) totally surprising and crazy: Messi went to PSG;
Lukaku, to Chelsea;
Mbappé would go to Real Madrid and Cristiano said goodbye to his Juventus teammates while defining where he takes his goals.
In the midst of uncertainty, while the English media already take for granted the return of the Bicho to the British island, the fans of the Red Devils already make their discontent felt on social networks, with all kinds of reactions, insults and memes.
One of them set fire to his jersey
with the red 7, an iconic jacket in the first decade of the century for the planet football.
Cristiano Ronaldo came to England very young and became a Manchester United idol.
Cristiano left his mark on one of the coolest teams on the Old Continent.
He played 292 games, scored 118 goals and won 10 titles, including the 2008 Champions League and the Club World Cup.
Not bad ... Then he went to Real Madrid and there he also continued with his dominant march, standing out even at a time when Barcelona built one of the best teams of all time.
Carlos Tevez already suffered
This distrust of United fans towards Ronaldo should not surprise anyone, least of all in Argentina.
In 2009, Carlos Tevez, CR7's attacking partner in that golden age of United, went directly to City and his decision altered the spirits of all of Manchester.
It is well remembered, for example, the image of a garbage truck driving through the streets of the city for the fans of the Red Devils to throw the red Apache shirt.
Soccer, a universal passion.
