oLd TRaFFoRd To SanTiaGo BeRNaBeU...


this whole week people around the world is talking about the transfer of the FIFA 2008 world best player, Cristiano Ronaldo from Old Trafford to Santiago Bernabeu... after just 3 days signing Kaka from AC Milan with £50 million, world record transfer fee eclipsing the £35 million for Zinedine Zidane from Juventus also to Real Madrid in 2000, Real once again make a world record in signing players by completing £80 million move for Ronaldo form Manchester United...


i don't admire Ronaldo at all... maybe because of his arrogant style on pitch but i can't deny about his talent and ability to make the game is interesting to watch... he was signed by MU after they had a friendly match again Ronaldo's old club, Sporting Lisbon in 2003 with £12.24 million, Ronaldo was highly recommended to Sir Alex Ferguson by the veterans Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs and he was given No. 7 shirt which was worn by the MU legends like George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham... was born in Funchal-Madeira, Portugal, Ronaldo made his debut against Bolton Wanderers in BPL...

along 6 seasons with MU, Ronaldo finally request a transfer to expand his career with Real Madrid... incidentally, Real was recently had voted Florentino Perez as their new president, the same man who brought Zidane, Luis Figo, David Beckham and Ronaldo de Lima to Bernabeu during the Galacticos era... and with the arrival of Kaka and Ronaldo, Real once again want to build the Galacticos II era... there area other players who were linked to Real such as Bayern's Franck Ribery, David Villa of Valencia and Xabi Alonso from Liverpool...

having played 239 matches for MU, he scored over 100 goals for the club and won cups with the club such as Barclays Premier League, FA Cup, Carling Cup, World Club Cup Championship and European Champions League... nowadays, football is about business... a club who have money seems can 'buy' the cups... but football is still a unpredictable sport... even a world champion can be defeated to the low class team... for me, Ronaldo's move to Real has made BPL title race become interesting... it's time for Liverpool to take over the crown... YNWA!!
