After a few rounds in the Premiership, Portuguese "winker" Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have managed to overcome the booing and the threatening from English fans. Not only that, but his scoring goals and great connection with Wayne Rooney on the pitch also got him a few rounds of applauses on Premiership stadiums.
The booing will not come to an end very soon, but what's important for Manu fans (who grew to love the guy) and Sir Alex Ferguson is that Ronaldo's attitude through this
whole mess is a positive one. And that's good not only for the team, but for him as well. Cristiano Ronaldo himself admits it.
"I knew I'd be whistled as soon as I put a foot on the pitch at Charlton, but I faced the game in a very calm way. I won't give any importance to the whistles or the insults", admitted the Portuguese.
Moreover, he insisted that choosing to play for Manchester was the best thing that happened lately and assured his fans that leaving for Spain is not top priority any more: "Manchester United are the ideal club for me. It is true that I said one day I would like to play in Spain. But if that doesn't happen, it won't be a problem. I still feel very happy".
As for the World Cup incident with Wayne Rooney - the winking that started the whole scandal in Great Britain - Ronaldo wanted to explain his actions and assure the English fans that it was nothing personal with Rooney.
"Throughout my career, I have always defended, in any circumstances, my country. It could be that my best friends play for other teams, but firstly I will defend my country and my shirt. Secondly, what happened was absolutely normal and I think any player who was in the same situation would have done the same", admitted Ronaldo.
