While his squad performed poorly, Ronaldo scored nine goals in 13 appearances under the Norwegian. He often helped the team when they looked done and dusted, at the brink of defeat. Hence, the next manager would hope CR7 continues this form and they get the best out of him.

How can Ronaldo be utilized?

With Pochettino rumored to come to the club, his system involves high-intensity pressing with counter-attacking soccer. During his time at Spurs, the style he adopted was beautiful to watch with Son and Lucas Moura bombarding the wings. Hence, incorporating Ronaldo into the team would be significant for the manager’s tactical nous.

However, Poch’s system includes pressing upfront. Harry Kane worked hard for the team as he led the pressing scenarios for Spurs. Although his fitness levels are right up there with the best, pressing isn’t Ronaldo’s strongest suit.

Getting the best out of Ronaldo is a hard task, but making him play alongside another striker in Greenwood or Rashford can be utilized to neglect his lack of pressing. The first thing would also be to get a defensive midfielder, which would help the team’s creative players to go in full throttle.
