View Full Version : Ronaldo - I am Cursed!

RONALDO believes that he is cursed to bad luck following Internazionale's last day capitulation of the Italian Scudetto.

The Brazilian star has battled back from a potentially career-ending spell of injury, but watched his side throw away the title by losing against Lazio - thus allowing both Juventus and Roma to overhaul them at the top of the table, with the former taking the top spot.

Misery at the Stadio Olimpico is no stranger to Ronaldo - who picked up the knee injury that almost led to a premature retirement in the Roman stadium.

"Disappointment seems to go hand in hand with my life," said the disappointed and tearful striker.

"In just a few seconds our hopes and dreams disappeared into thin air and left us with a harsh reality that is difficult to come to terms with.

"Stadio Olimipco is such an unlucky place for me, but I had hoped that the memories of my knee injury would be replaced by the happy times of taking the title."

he never shouldīve left Barca... thatīs when all the trouble begun.

the same will happen to Vieira and Anelka (uups, already there :) ) if they leave Arse.. sometimes you should just stay there, where you are succesfull and not try to get more $$$$$$. Greed spoils people, like it spoiled Ronaldo.

at that point Van Gaal was in Barca and Barca was the best side in Spain. I had lot of respect for them and wanted to see them flourish. Then Ronaldo jumped ship.. and you know the rest, both of them went wrong after that.

I said that only cause from those memories I have some grudge against Ronaldo - first he was this fabulous, perfect player - then a disaster.

Ronaldo is over rated. He has great acceleration and that`s what makes him a class above above others, but other then that he`s a normal player. He cannot accelerate throughout the whole game, that`s why you see him in action for maybe like 10 mins in the whole game.

the pressure on the managers of Barcalona and Real is intense the need to win La Liga is unbelievable and if you dont win it finish above Barca/Real. Another problem is that the club President is elected the by the supporters and to get elected they will make outandish promises saying that they will buy this player or that player whether they are suitable or not.

Do I detect some irony in there?
