Cristiano Ronaldo Frustration Caused By Mourinho

Cristiano Ronaldo definitely is not happy and satisfy with his new role in Mourinho squad. He loses the chance to score, and it won't help him to win any trophy for this season. He can easily kiss goodbye to FIFA Best Footballer of the Year 2010.

Before became Real's coach, Mou did made it specific that the Real Madrid management must let him pull all the decision when it comes to the tactics, and players choice. That includes when he chose to play Higuain and Ozil as a scorer, instead of Ronaldo.

But will Ronaldo accept his new position which less important then the forward position which he used to play ? During Real Madrid matches early this season, Cris already shown many signs of desperation and frustrate for not able to score. And we hate to imagine what he will become next if this condition continues.

I doubt Real Madrid management will let this situation ongoing, especially for £90 million players they bought. They won't let him go, no matter what. But if Mou still refuses to play him for what he's good the most, then Real's management might have to chose between the two Portuguese, to keep the player, or the coach. Tough one !!
