I just read this news a few hours ago. But what I'm surprised about is that it happened on April 10, 2022 (according to a
republican source). But why has it only been revealed now that it makes Christiano Ronaldo have to face such a bitter problem for his game this season?
Assume it will be taken into effect eventually, Ronaldo is not too important in Manchester United now. So his absence won't affect Manchester United too much. It is surprise why the procedure takes about 5 months to be done like this.
In addition, Ronaldo had bad performance in Portugal national team recent days too. His time is coming to the end and his performance is decreasing a lot.
There will always be the potential to lose to an unexpected club and vice versa it may be easier to get a win from a big club. There are always possibilities and Arsenal are being tested to stay consistent in the place where Man City should continue to be taken. Now because there will be many big clubs waiting for Arsenal, we can see how far Arteta puts his talented young players against a club with a mentality that is much used to it.
Arteta and Arsenal players still need time to improve. The coach is in early of his management career and many of Arsenal players are young. They don't have too much experience in Premier League as well as their career.
We can not compare Arsenal and Manchester City in both coach position and their players. Manchester City is at a higher level definitely but I respect impressive things Arteta has done in Arsenal so far.
