Why Mourinho Played Ronaldo as a Striker Against Barcelona
We had one of the best players in football Ronaldo
Ronaldo used to play was a winger
He was a tricky winger fast dribble
But sometimes you have to move the pieces of the chess to try to create
the best solution for the team
The first time that Ronaldo played as a number nine position was in the cup final against Barcelona
He had three number nines and for a final I left them all three out to play Cristiano as a number nine
Because in that game Barcelona right back was Daniel Alves
That was attacking, attacking, attacking hundreds and hundreds of times during the game
If Ronaldo played against him you would be chasing him all the time playing more defensive than offensive
So I decided no, you are not going to chase anyone
You are going to play number nine, you are going to play central, you are going just to try to score goals
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot, Cristiano's shot, Cristiano's shot, Cristiano's shot, Cristiano's shot, Cristiano's shot
What a chance Madrid just had
The players they have to understand the game because during the game I cannot make decisions for them
They are guided, they discover the way, it's not like I tell them now you turn left and then you turn right
I'm not ways, I have to help them but they have to go by themselves, they have to understand why
He scored the winning goal, incredible header
And we won the cup
