Ronaldo Is A Player With A Desire – Ferguson

Manchester United legend, Sir Alex Ferguson has come out to say that Cristiano Ronaldo’s amazing return to the club was like Caesar entering Rome after victory. He recently revealed that the return is fantastic for both the club and the player.

According to him, he really loved the way Ronaldo attacked with unbelievable speed during his first stint at the club, and he keeps proving to be a player with a desire.

Ferguson added that Ronaldo simply had a dream of going to Real Madrid and he couldn’t go against that.

His words, “It’s fantastic,”

“You saw on that Saturday that it was like Caesar entering Rome after victory. I came, I saw, I conquered. It was fantastic.”

“I mean, for anyone who is a United fan, we could have had a million people in there, without doubt, as there were so many outside, hundreds outside. It’s one of these things. When he was here as a kid, his learning process was very, very quick.”

“A lot of people said he was a diver and there was a little spell of that but, after that, he was attacking defenders and all he needed was a nudge and he would waltz by them. He would attack with unbelievable speed. I think the increasing knowledge of his game – I think he was born with a desire.”

“He sacrificed himself to be the best. I remember we were playing Arsenal on the Saturday and it was pouring with rain at Carrington. I said to him, and you know he would always practice after training, and I said, ‘In. We’ve got a game tomorrow and it’s too wet. The ground is too soft.”

“So I went into my office, looked out of the window and what did he do? He went on the astroturf. I had no argument! I couldn’t say anything to him. He’s beat me.”

“He had a dream of going to Real Madrid,”

“I was not against that, six years was great for a boy from Madeira, getting him here just after his 18th birthday and having him six years. I think we did well that way and it gave me a chance to get a replacement. We got Antonio Valencia and he was fantastic so we were very lucky that way.”
