Throwback to when former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson tried to get out of a goalscoring bet with Cristiano Ronaldo and said that penalties didn't count!
It may seem unfathomable given that 50-goal seasons soon became the norm, but back in the day 15 was seen as ambitious for Cristiano Ronaldo .By the new year Ronaldo already had matched his previous best of 12, scoring twice in three consecutive matches to end 2006 on a high and take the Premier League’s Player of the Month Award home with him for Christmas.
Football restarted in the New Year, but Ronaldo didn’t - failing to follow up his six goals in three games by being kept scoreless in the following two.The no.7 tricked his way into the penalty area, in injury time, and after being taken down by Steed Malbranque, he put away the resulting penalty to leave his manager out of pocket.
Ronaldo went on to end the season with 20 goals overall in all competitions, and even with three of them being penalties, Ferguson had little left to argue about. The great Man United boss helped shape Ronaldo into one of the best players in the world after signing him in 2003."I remember when we played against Manchester when I was at Sporting Lisbon. For me, Sir Alex Ferguson is like a father in football for me.
