Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, also known as “Chicharito,” has recently expressed his opinions on his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. When Hernandez was on loan from Manchester United during the 2014ā15 season, the two players shared the pitch for Real Madrid. Together, they contributed to six goals during their time together.
Hernandez, who currently plays for LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer (MLS), has voiced his opinion on Ronaldo’s qualities both on and off the pitch in a recent interview.
In a recent interview, Hernandez stated, “Beyond the respect and admiration and everything incredible that it is to have them as teammates, well, imagine that they are tools that you have in your favor, having them with you and not having them against you.”

“So playing with Cristiano, apart from that, I think that something that a lot of people don’t mention, we know the impact he has, but something phenomenal within a locker room is also how Cris is. I have not met any player, and I can confirm it, who says that Cris is a difficult or complicated person,” Hernandez added.
Ronaldo, who is now 38 years old, made news when he unexpectedly left Manchester United in December to sign with the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. What led to his exit was the disagreement with Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United.

Arturo Vidal, known for his outspoken nature, didn’t mince his words when discussing Ronaldo’s situation and voicing his disapproval of ten Hag’s decision. During his stream, Vidal expressed his disbelief at the removal of a player of Ronaldo’s caliber from the team.
“That coach came in badly,” Vidal remarked, referring to ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United. “How are you going to take out Cristiano Ronaldo? That’s how these guys are. He was the scorer, and he takes him out. The bald guys are very complicated.”
Arturo Vidal on Jorge Sampaoli after his Athletico Paranaense debut:

Vidal made fun of managers who have bald heads when he referred to “the bald guys” in his speech. However, he doesn’t have a good history with bald managers. During his time playing for Flamengo where Vidal won the Brazilian Cup and Copa Libertadores, Argentine manager Jorge Sampaoli was the manager of Flamengo.
Nevertheless, despite the team’s success, Vidal played in just 21 games all season, frequently going unnoticed by Coach Sampaoli. That created a rift between them. Vidal recently hit out at Sampaoli calling him a ‘”loser”Ā and accused of him of not appreciating his players.
