On September 26, McLaren, who has recently taken up the role of head coach for the Jamaica national team, recalled many details from his time as an assistant coach under Ten Hag in a recent interview with British media outlet The Daily Telegraph. This included controversial topics involving players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro.
McLaren stated, “Casemiro does not believe in the tactical philosophy and coaching details that Ten Hag possesses; he believes he already understood everything during his time at Real Madrid.”
When discussing Ronaldo’s departure, McLaren continued to defend Ten Hag, “Every coach sets their own standards, you have to do this, otherwise, you can’t play. He is very rigid about this. That’s how the Dutch are. Other coaches have tried to adapt. Erik believed there was no need to do so. Ralf Rangnick tried but failed, and so did Ole Gunnar Solskjær. So Ten Hag insisted on his stance and cultivated other players.”
