Why doesn't Cristiano Ronaldo take penalties for Man U?

Question

I don't think he's ever missed onee against England at the world cup or Euro championships, so its about time a few english ppl. could be happy when he scores them.

Answer 1

I agree. They should let him try and do a couple of the penalty kicks. Its true that its strikers that often do that job, but thats not always the case. I don't care what anyone says, Christiano is a star!

Answer 2

Hi voetbal..

My answer, Cristiano Ronaldo isnt as mentally strong as Saha.
You need a cool head when 60000+ opposition fans are coming down on you.

Sir Alex has now however let Saha and Ronaldo decide who will take the penalty kicks in the game. If one is having a bad day, the other will take it.

My 2 cents.....

Answer 3

Because Ronaldo's basic role is midfielder. A midfield player normally specialize in ball possesion abilities such as passing and driblling. Striker or forward, such as Saha or Rooney, is normally the one who takes penalties due to the nature of their finishing abilities. However, not all penalty takers are strikers, some exceptional players who have confidence in their penalty taking ability can also be set as penalty taker. Dennis Irwin, a former Man Utd defender is a good example.

Answer 4

Ronaldo has continuously been a diver and United isn't bothered as they are continuously favoured! I even have considered gamers diving yet they don't do it as usually as Ronaldo. Its undesirable for the participant, the club and for soccer nonetheless!

Answer 5

because the coach prefers saha but he has now said that either saha or ronaldo should take the kicks now based on their mental state during the match (i.e both players would decide who takes the kick)

Answer 6

well i dont think he really wants to kick them he like the really 69 close ones

Answer 7

Because he is a choker.

Answer 8

i dunno.. but u right!
