Revealed : Chelsea star midfielder who Ten hag really wants ,Set to join Manchester United so as to play with idol Ronaldo ,Tuchel worried about losing him .

 Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount 

has revealed he grew up idolizing Manchester

 United star Cristiano Ronaldo.




A video of Mount successfully implementing


 the Portuguese's freekick technique of hitting 


the valve on the ball went viral on social media.



The Chelsea midfielder explained that 


he watched one of Ronaldo’s most popular 


freekicks against Portsmouth live in 2008


. He then tried to implement it on the training


 ground.


Mount told Amazon Prime in an interview


 (via Football London):


"I think everyone has seen the 

video of when I was younger basing

 my free kick off him [Cristiano

 Ronaldo]. I always watched him 

very closely when he was at United

 as a young kid. I loved the way

 he played, his free kicks."


He added:


"I'm a massive Pompey fan, so 

I went to the game when they 

played at Old Trafford and 

he scored that free-kick against 

David James. I was actually at the

 game, in the corner so I saw it 

first hand and I think after that 

I kind of fell in love with the technique

 and what he'd done and him

 as a player."


The England international also talked 


about the experience of watching the 


Portuguese striker live to now play 


against him. He said:


“So I always try to look at and 

work out, what can I do, to put

 it into my game? But now to 

play against him and be up against

 him is the journey that you 

go on from watching someone 

in the stands as a fan and then 

to being on the same pitch and 

playing against them. It's a crazy

 journey and yeah, that's why 

I love football so much."


Manchester United star Cristiano

 Ronaldo's free-kicks have inspired

 a generation of footballers including

 Chelsea’s Mason Mount


It’s certainly not a surprise that several


 players, both young and old, tried to implement 


Ronaldo’s freekick technique with a varied


 degree of success.



The swerve it generated was hard to 


read for the goalkeepers. It wasn’t always


 simple hitting through the ball and hoping


 it would come down in time to hit the 


target. The skill required to pull it off


 was incredible.



While the technique might not be as 


popular in today’s generation, players still 


look up to the Manchester United star for


 the standards he sets for himself.



The longevity and performance levels


 the Manchester United forward has 


achieved is staggering. The 37-year-


old forward has already inspired a 


generation of footballers.



Mount’s progress has been pretty incredible


 as well. He broke into the first team in 


2019 and has kept his place even though 


Chelsea have spent a lot of money to 


strengthen the squad.
