World Player of the Year 2009 Cristiano Ronaldo

Christiano Ronaldo is a kind of player who can impress you only through his presence on the field. No doubt, he has great talent and super control on the ball. He becomes FIFA World player at its last even. He beat his biggest rival Argentina's Lionel Messi by vote. Who has better talent you cannot judge them. Because, on their given they are equally dangerous.

Christiano Ronaldo came to Manchester United as a 17 years old young boy. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson brought him into the team in place of super star footballer David Beck ham. At that time, nobody could expect that this boy can full fill the lacking of David Beck ham. However, Ronaldo proved them wrong and not only full fill David's lacking but become even bigger superstar of football.

He has great sense of the game. He understands the game so well and reacts so quickly according to the situation of the game. He has very good skill of dribbling with the ball and super speed of run through the field. One more great skill he has and that is his ability of scoring goals from free kicks. Whenever he gets a chance to score from free kicks, he gets success most of the time.

In 2007-08 sessions, he scored over 40 goals but not a striker. His actual position in the field is winger. He can use both of his legs effectively and get success to score with his both legs. He can produce lot of chances to others to score goals also. Some football critics say he is the best professional footballer at present. He started his carrier as winger. However, becomes a successful striker of the game. The way he is playing these days, which is forcing people to become his fans. We can see he is easily the most famous footballer in earth today. Last year two of the biggest and richest clubs of football planet were fighting each other for him. At last, everything settled down quite nicely. Now Christiano Ronaldo is happily playing for his club Manchester United.

The Cristiano Ronaldo Drama Continues

Well, it finally happened. The nonsense with Cristiano Ronaldo has reached the point where it is reminiscent of a serialized television drama, and a rather predictable one at that. Picture the key players: Ronaldo, the young, desirable hero; Manchester United, the woman who currently has him; Real Madrid, the woman chasing him; FIFA, the frustrated school official; and Sir Alex Ferguson, the father of Manchester United. And here is the current installment....

Ronaldo (as Real Madrid stands by smiling): I don't love you anymore, Manchester United. I want to be with Real Madrid now.

Real Madrid: That's right; he wants to play for a real team.

Manchester United: He's mine! You can't have him! I don't want you talking to Real Madrid anymore, Ronaldo. I don't even want to hear the name come out of your mouth!

Real Madrid (as Ronoldo stands by tight-lipped): That doesn't change anything. Everyone knows where his heart truly lies.

Manchester United: FIFA, did you hear Real Madrid? Do something about it.

FIFA (sounding clearly exhausted): Manchester, Real Madrid hasn't done anything wrong. However, Madrid, you do understand that you are toeing a dangerous line.

Alex Ferguson (whispering loudly enough that Manchester United can hear him): If you let Ronaldo go, I am out of here and I won't have anything more to do with you.

*Screen fades to black on all the key players*

And, yes, that about covers the news on Ronaldo this week. He's still quietly letting it be known that he wants to move to Spain. FIFA has made it clear that thus far, Real Madrid hasn't done anything wrong. There has been no breach of contract, and thus legal action can't be taken against the club. In a move that seems like it was designed for the sole purpose of appeasing Manchester United, however, they have sent Real a warning. Of course, since all that has really happened so far is talk, the warning hasn't changed anything.

In fact, all it seems to have done is pushed Real Madrid to do things through more official means. They are reportedly preparing to make a bid of up to £75 million for the winger. Real Madrid is ready to put their money where their mouth is, and it's starting to make people wonder if the powers that be at United can, in fact, be bought.

One of the most important people curious about that fact is Sir Alex Ferguson himself. He's a bit leery that United might sell Ronaldo off if the price is right, and that they would do so without even bothering to talk to him. While he isn't completely against selling the winger, he is furious that he might not be consulted.

The entire situation was turning into a bad joke before last week. Now it has degenerated into a pathetic excuse for a soap opera. Watching the whole thing unfold is this summer's guilty pleasure. Someone needs to tell both scripted and reality television to move over. For real entertainment, all one needs to do is pay attention to this summer's football transfers.

Cristiano Ronaldo Gets His International Mojo Back

(That headline wasn’t intended to be a pun. But it’s too late now. So I’m sticking with it.)

The underperforming star player we all talked about pre-World Cup 2010 was Leo Messi, and how he didn’t perform for Argentina as he did for Barcelona. The fact that Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo hadn’t scored for Portugal since February 2009 (and even that was a penalty kick against Finland in a friendly) and didn’t score at all during World Cup qualifying was somewhat overlooked.

Before the World Cup Ronaldo had said that “The goals will come. They’ll come naturally. It’s like a great player once told me: goals are like ketchup … you keep on forcing it, then it comes all at once.”

The first splodge of that metaphorical ketchup was finally squeezed out today, when Ronaldo scored the sixth goal in Portugal’s 7-0 win over North Korea.
