Here’s the latest Real Madrid coach said to the media regarding Ronaldo:
“The English way has been a perfect education for a player with such exceptional talent There he has learned to enjoy his football as a complete professional.
“This means we would get a Cristiano who would arrive here with his lessons learned.
“Cristiano would help us in a lot of ways, without a doubt, but we can’t stop just with him.
“He’ll be expensive and we’ll have to pay a lot of money, but we need more players because he won’t be enough.”
He’s dreaming. Spanish football used to be great but their time is up.
However, the Manchester United has fed up (and so are the fans!) with Real Madrid pathetic pursue of Ronaldo and here’s the latest statement:
“United has watched with growing irritation the comments attributed to Real Madrid over their alleged desire to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
“The fact is the player is on a long-term contract and his registration is held by United. The player is not for sale.
“The club will have no alternative but to report Real Madrid to the world governing body, FIFA, if it continues to behave in this totally unacceptable fashion.
“These public attempts to unsettle the player are completely against the regulations and the club will not tolerate them any longer.”
The war is on.

As a Real Madrid fans, I’d like to make a few comments regarding this issue.
Ronaldo is a great player and talent? Yes. but he is not the only great player in the world. Kaka, Messi, Bojan.. just to name a few. Real Madrid pursuing Ronaldo? Of course they are. So does Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona.. every big clubs wants to get their hands of this player. To be fair, MU too pursuing Kaka, Messi, Bojan.. Maybe its not publish, but cmon, as a big club they wont say no if players of that talent is for sale.
Quote “Spanish football used to be great but their time is up”, really???
To be fair, the last few years in Champions League (if we use it as standard of comparison) theres always English clubs as finalists. But even them (Liveerpool, MU, Chelsea) wont take clashes with Real Madrid, Inter Milan, or Bayern Munchen as a Sunday walk in the park.
I wont be surprised if next champions of Europe is Real Madrid
For the tenth times if I might add..
