C Ronaldo's Island of Madeira



Most comments about Ronaldo's recent transfer to Real Madrid surely depict one very English, self-centered point of view....
I’m not even a big fan of Ronaldo but the seemingly majority of Man. Utd. supporters ungratefulness is beyond words.
They should try unstick their heads out of their backsides and wake up to the reality that Ronaldo is not English, and before he left M.U. F.C. he has a very young lad from Madeira Island, kissed his parents good-bye at 11 y.o. and moved out, facing the unknown for a dream and working his butt off to get where he is now.

He is thankful for everything people did for him in the UK - that includes the shameful campaign against him after the World Cup in 2006, for it only made him stronger; but understand, he OWS M.U. F.C. nothing - he repaid M.U. fully and with interest.
He surely won the right to be proud of his work and who are we to judge him... that yes, it's arrogance, very John Bull...

This story has been gold for press as well, always eager to capitalise on CR's fame...
Well, good for him. He seems to bring out the worse in people in the UK for some reason, but Ronaldo is stronger than anything you can throw at him. After all, he's living the DREAM.
From his poor background in Madeira to Madrid... and Paris...;D
A fairy-tale really, but he's work hard for it and he deserves it.

Ronaldo will probably face a bigger challenge in Spain than in the P.L. but then again he thrives on challenges and he doesn’t give a rat's ass about what jealous people say about him.
Yeah, he's laughing all the way to the bank - that's the best "in your face" to all those that diss him.

Sure it's a huge sum of money but Real Madrid will double it in earnings "Real" soon... just the hype around his transfer is worth a fortune in free publicity, plus Ronaldo will captivate the booming Asian market that R.M. is after...
So, it's a win-win situation, although Ronaldo's many detractors will be waiting, watching every step-over, waiting for a slip...

I wouldn't bet in M. Utd next season nor in the P.L. to continue being what it is... looks like the best players are heading south now... Premier League will be Derrier League, am afraid...

One thing though - Ronny, you can do better than Paris Hilton... watch out, don't go and catch something that can hinder your step-overs... ;D
