Real Madrid not dependent on Cristiano Ronaldo, claims Jorge Valdano – La Liga News
According to media reports, Real Madrid’s former sporting director has claimed that Los Blancos do not depend on one player, identifying Cristiano Ronaldo. Reports suggest that Jorge Valdano expressed his delight in the way the Madrid side have been performing
lately.
However, he also voiced his opinion about how the team does not depend on one player, not even http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the highest scorer in the Spanish Primera last season. Not only did he score the most goals in the La Liga, he also broke the record for the highest number of goals scored in the Spanish Primera Division.
The record which was previously held by Telmo Zarra and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, he also
became the first footballer to win the European Golden Shoe award in two different leagues.
He is widely considered as one of the best players in the world, which is also the reason Real Madrid were willing to pay a record breaking 80 million pound fee his services.
Since joining the Spanish giants, he has managed to become an integral part of the Real Madrid squad. The Portuguese international has been performing remarkably for the Whites, so far this season.
However, reports suggest that Jorge Valdano has insisted that, in their current form, Jose Mourinho’s men would be able to perform equally well even in the absence of Ronaldo. Considering the current squad and the way the team has performed in the season
so far, many would agree to Valdano’s claim
While talking to Marca, Valdano stated:
"Ronaldo is capable of scoring two or three goals per game after moments of individual brilliance," Valdano was quoted as saying by Marca.
"However, the best thing about this Madrid is that they are still a great team if Ronaldo is not at his best.
"Their style of play is much more direct than Barcelona's. They don't give defences any time to regroup, and need only three passes to reach the opponents' goal. They have made a lot of progress since last season."
The way other players such as Mesut Ozil, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Kaka have performed, it surely suggests that Real Madrid are a very strong team on an overall. And it would be hard to say that one players
absence would actually make a difference.
