Summary: Pohlam - Manchester United 2:1 (Sport1)
The announcement of Cristiano Ronaldo's release from Manchester United continues to resonate in Europe.
At the same time as the assessments and rumors about the next step for CR7, a short and smiling sentence by Vincent Kompany revealed the difficult situation of the teenage star.
Kompany, a legend in Manchester City and the Belgium national team, today coaches Burnley from the minor league in England and during the World Cup serves as a BBC commentator.
Yesterday during the broadcast, Gary Lineker asked him if he would take Ronaldo to his team (hypothetically of course) and the Belgian replied: "No, I need players who run!".
Kompany said the things with a smile, but in every laugh there is some truth.
Since Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, commentators have raised quite a few question marks about his work ethic during matches - or about his physical fitness.
The appreciation for his past is huge, but for the present much less.
Ronaldo has always been known for his uncompromising work ethic and the stories about him are many, but his return to England was often accompanied by sloppy walks on the grass and less running and defensive help than before.
Not everyone jumps at the bargain.

Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle and even Real Madrid were mentioned yesterday as candidates for the Portuguese, but none of them will build on him as they would have done a few years ago.
One of the main question marks regarding CR7's next stop is whether he will be willing to play second fiddle and spend quite a bit of time on the bench.
Will turning him into a rotation player make him resentful again and the team hurt.
According to "Sky Bet", the leading candidate is his youth team, Sporting Lisbon with a ratio of 2.75, then Chelsea (3.5), the MLS teams get a ratio of 5, Bayern Munich next with a ratio of 8, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain with a ratio 11 each and Naples received a ratio of 14.
