Real Madrid winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 not obsessed with Pichichi: La Liga News
Real Madrid winger, Cristiano Ronaldo, has insisted that he is not obsessed with winning the Pichichi, the award given to Spain’s top goal-scorer in the season.
Ronaldo scored his seventh hat-trick of the season in a 4-0 thrashing of Getafe on May 10, 2011. The Portuguese has scored 36 goals in La Liga, 49 goals in all competitions in the 2010/11 season. The 26-year-old is five goals ahead of second highest goal-scorer,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who has scored 31 goals in the league and 52 in all competitions this season.
The former Manchester United winger needs only two goals to equal the record of former Madrid striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Sanchez, who scored 38 goals in a season. With only two matches left to play in the season, Ronaldo is expected to break the record but he is not
overly excited about it.
"It is true that I am fighting to be the top scorer but it is not an obsession [to beat Hugo Sanchez's record].”It's true my team-mates have looked for me at times in particular so that I would score more, but collective efforts are always more important
that individual exploits."
The winger is pleased with his team’s result and added that the team played according to the plan told to them by the manager, Jose Mourinho.
"We are playing at a very high level. The priority was to work hard and win our remaining league games. The coach has asked us to do this and we've responded well," he added.
Los Blancos are almost certain to miss out on La Liga this season, as Barcelona only need a point to win their third consecutive title. Real lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League but defeated their arch-rivals in the final of the
Copa del Rey to finish with some silverware in the season.
Ronaldo is adamant that his team will bounce back strongly in the next season and will end Barcelona’s dominance in the league. The Portuguese will face a stern test setting the goal-scoring record, as his team travel to Villarreal for their next game.
