Ronaldo: God Willing, I Will Move To Spain
Cristiano Ronaldo made it abundantly clear that his dream is to move to La Liga.
The Portuguese had been linked repeatedly with a move to Spain following his World Cup fallout will Wayne Rooney, but seems to have settled down over the last six months or so.
However, speaking in Zurich at the FIFA World Player award, he admitted that the desire to move to La Liga remains as strong as ever.
“I would like to play for a Spanish club one day - I don’t know if it is possible, but it is my dream," he declared.
“Sometimes I want something and it’s not possible. But this is my dream."
Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been interested in him, and a fresh report earlier this month suggested that the Catalan club would make a big money move should Ronaldinho leave.
“It’s a fantastic league where they play beautiful football," he continued, reiterating his craving for Spain.
"However, I am convinced the English league is the most competitive in every aspect," he added quickly. “I feel very comfortable in the English league.
"I think it’s beautiful, and if I stay in Manchester that would be great for me - I love the club; I love the supporters, and it would be amazing for me to stay there for many years.
“But maybe one day, only God knows whether it will happen, I would like to play for a Spanish team and experience the difference.â€
Manchester United have made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of selling their biggest star, but the rumours continue to persist. These comments will only fan the fires.
Many pundits believe that he will be able to showcase his real potential only in the realms of Spain's very latin football, so to speak, and the player himself seems to believe in it.
There is a more shrewd view, of course. The fact that the comments came in light of losing out to Kaka and Lionel Messi mean that he himself understands how a high profile move to Barcelona or Real Madrid might be needed to deliver individual accolades.

looks what he've done over the past season and this season so far ??
leading goal scorer for utd ... leading goal scorer in champion league ... this kid keep having the defenders got the headache, and he just keep scoring for fun ...
if u said he's not the best player in the league yet, i dont know who is ...
drogba - yes he's good, but definitely ronaldo better - last year epl title i think u cant just take the credit away from ronaldo ..
cesc - yeh doing good as well, especially this season - but still ronaldo better

and messi is 19 or 20, messi is a better player in a tougher league, and he doesnt dive, seriously can u not see that the guy is a diver? can u honestly tell me he doesnt dive? diving is cheating, ronaldo is good no doubt but there are much better players playing in much tougher leagues, he gets exposure, thats the only reason people know him, watch the french league, nasri, spanish, messi, italian, kaka, im sick to death of people saying ronaldo is the best in the world, he is up there but kaka for example craps all over himMUFCBOY wrote:but ud have him in ur team though...Hawkesy wrote:IMO, not even the best player in his league, let alone the world.

20 international goals for Portugal from 50 starts is a clear indication of his pedigree!
good free kick taker, great dribbler, explosive pace, great header of the ball etc...
just needs to work on his defensive game, and less fancy stuff in big games where possesion is lost and will pretty much be a complete player!

you are right ...
and u forgot - good shot as well ..
couple years back i was thinking - this kid has the skills , pace everything .. too bad his finishing is not as good as me ...
but now, i must said he already overtook me ... welldone
everything you said there i agree with. he does lose to much possesion against big clubs, but he will get better and wiser and he learns and develops more.pires7 wrote:20 international goals for Portugal from 50 starts is a clear indication of his pedigree!

i agree im a man u supporter and i think ronaldo is the best but his free kick isnt good he just slams the ball and then one in 15 goes in that isnt a good free kickJuventino wrote:If Ronaldo's free kicks are good, the every Roberto Carlos free kick is phenomenal. How can hitting the wall more often than not be any good?
