Ronaldo: "I“m going to give everything to be the pichichi"
There are two games left until the end of the champģonship, and four goals difference to catch up with Samuel Eto“o. Apart from defeating At. Madrid and Zaragoza, Ronaldo has this aim in his mind. His good patch could well last. To end his presentation, the forward declared that "This is no time to relax, we want to get the six remaining points".
At the Cerro del Espino there was a delicate situation, with hooded fans jumping onto the pitch to berate the players.
It seems somewhat absurd and I don“t understand why fans would do something like that. The professionals are the first to want to do things well. Luckily, I“ve never experienced such a situation, I think of it as an act of vandalism, of ignorant people who don“t understand the meaning of sport. Football is about winning and losing.
Do you think you can catch up with Eto“o in the fight for the Pichichi?
I will try, of coyrse I am going to try. It has been a bit of a strange season, I had a spell of eight games when I scored nothing and this reflects on the final mark. But I“m four goals behind, and there are two matches left. I“m going to go for them.
Have you asked your team-mates to pass you more balls so you can have more chances?
I haven“t said anything to them. This is a team and they help me as much as they do anyone else. I always get balls as the best placed at the moment.
How would you describe this season for Real Madrid?
Strange. The first half was a bit of a disaster. Then we had three changes of trainer, and for the players it“s very difficult to adapt to so many changes. When Luxemburgo arrived every one of us started to know what to do on the pitch.
Do you think if Luxemburgo had been here during all the season you would have been champions?
That“s impossible to know. You have to learn the things from the trainer all the time, but having three in one season makes it more difficult.
Real Madrid and At. Madrid will face each other with nothing to play for, might the derby become a bit lacklustre in that sense?
This is a match which is always special. I“m sure it“ll be good and that there will be a lot of goals.
There will be two of the best forwards, Ronaldo and Fernando Torres, will it be a duel between you two?
It“s not a duel between two players, it“s two great clubs, with a lot of history, and you always want to win this match.
Yes, but for you, you“ve always been good against the red and whites.
I“ve always scored against them, but every match is a different story, and we“ll see what happens on Saturday at Bernabéu.
This season a lot has been said about the referees. Do you think they have been against you?
I do think the referees have been decisive. They have ruled against four or five of my goals which were fine. The other day at Seville the defender grabbed me and it should have been a penalty. I“ve looked at the statistics of what they“ve ruled for and against us, but we can“t complain anyway, if we didn“t win the League it was our fault.
Names and rumours are starting to fly around, and one of them points to your compatriot, Emerson.
I don“t talk about these things, that“s for the Club.
You“re one on the players who“ll stay for the next season.
Nobody“s said anything to me, and I for the moment am calm and happy.
Will relaxation be one of the problems of the derby?
For our part this problem doesn“t exist, hopefully At. Madrid will have it. We only want to end the season with two wins.
There“s been a lot of controversy about the comments of Eto“o, how do you see them?
I think it“s silly, it was unnecessary to say all that. He isn“t used to celebrating titles. But afterwards he apologized and that“s the end of it.
But do you understand this hate towards the club.
I don“t know, I really don“t care. I“ve never done it, I“ve always respected every team in which I“ve played. The people who direct them are a different matter, but you have to respect everyone
