Cristinao Ronaldo closer to dream with Jose Mourinho
Cristinao Ronaldo does not do things in half measures. Through all the star-studded displays for Manchester United, there was always the sense that his exit would be equally emphatic and high-profile. For all his mind-boggling free-kicks and vital goals, the promised land of Real Madrid appeared to be his destiny, with every goal with every great game that destiny became closer. Football pundits around the world kept asking questions, there were never any thoughts of where would Ronaldo play next, it was always about Real Madrid. Everyone knew the move from Manchester United will be to Real Madrid but no one knew when it will be.
Real Madrid is a club that doesn’t shy away from signing big stars by throwing unprecedented amount of money and when they want someone, its only matter of time before it happens. That was the case when Real smashed the world transfer record to make Ronaldo their £80million man, bringing down the curtain on Ronaldo's rollercoaster United career.
We’ve had some great players at this club in my 20 years, but he’s up with the best, said Sir Alex Ferguson as quoted in "Ronaldo has last laugh as penalty puts United into semi-finals" in The TImes (20 March 2007).
When Ronaldo signed with Real Madrid everyone wanted to know what Ronaldo thinking was; during the interview with News of the World it became clear. He told Andy Dunn, he made the move to Real Madrid to ensure that he would becomes the greatest footballer in the world.
He is not too far away if not there already; Few players have made the footballing journey that Cristiano Ronaldo has taken in his career to date. He has needed every ounce of character, resilience and bravery to accompany his undoubted ball skills and now, still very young, he stands at the summit of the world game, ready to take Real back to the big time.
His goal of winning the Champion League for Real Madrid has taken a turn for best with the recent signing of fellow countryman Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho is considered the best couch in the world and has a history with Ronaldo. Two greats from the same country aligning to bring the cup to Real Madrid, its only matter of time before it happens.
