“There have been a few players described as ‘the new George Best’ over the years, but this is the first time it’s been a compliment to me.”
—Former Manchester United player George Best hails the 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003.
The idea of this was to see Cristiano Ronaldo through the eyes of multiple championship manager 01/02 database I could find and add up all appearances and goals, assists etc.
It’s a one season save. No transfers, just run with the team he’s playing for at that time.
Take a look at him on this database. I know his birthday is wrong, but I’m going to ignore it, mainly as I haven’t got a clue how to correct it.
His team he will be a part of all season.
The season starts with the charity shield
It’s about RVN with a hatrick, but R7 is involved with an assist and hopefully the start of a good relationship between them.
His first time out in the Champions League sees R7 first goal in the competition along with two assists for RVN and again another hattick.
Just picking out a random league game, I thought, was pretty impressive of this team.
Made it to the league Cup final.
But there is nothing to talk about with R7 performance.
Reach the Champions League quarter final and its R7 with the only goal of the night to keep the dream alive.
In the second leg, R7 provides two assists on the night.
FA Cup final. Anther trophy to his cabinet in his first season in England.
Again, though he didn’t really get involved.
Champions league final, but it ends in defeat. He gets the team there, but again he goes missing in finals.
Ended the season as champions.
Scholes was amazing, but the young Portuguese forward shows he can cut it at this level.
R7 season ending tally.
The team overall at the end of the season.
Slipping in RVN stats too.
What a legend
Anyway
There isn’t a 2004/ 2005 database, so going to have to skip that one.
The season finished trophyless (only their fourth trophyless season in 17 seasons) for United, who finished third in the Premier League with 77 points. The title went to Chelsea, who finished the season with a record 95 points and lost just one game all season, with the previous season’s champions Arsenal finishing runners-up.
Their champions league campaign ended in the first knockout round at Milan, while they were eliminated from the league cup by chelsea in the semi-finals. The last chance of silverware was blown by a Paul Scholes penalty miss against Arsenal in a shoot-out after a goalless draw in the 2005 FA Cup final.
On a more positive note for the club, newly signed 19-year-old striker and leading club goalscorer Wayne Rooney was voted PFA Young player of the year.
United also ended Arsenal’s record-breaking 49-game unbeaten league run with a 2-0 home win in late October.
