With 11 round-ups to the end of the Spanish
Primera División, Ronaldo’s balance for the current season is more than amazing.
The Brazilian striker was lined-up by Coach Del Bosque in almost any game,
playing a starring role in Real Madrid's triumph in the International Toyota Cup
in Tokyo, where he even scored one goal. Real Madrid CF rose to the top of the
Primera División and are among the 8 UEFA Champions League’s semifinalists.
Starting his Spanish season with almost 45-days delay, Ronnie has already scored
14 goals in 22 games, with a balance of 13 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses. He played
an overall amount of 1621 minutes, with a scoring average of one goal every 115
minutes. However, it must be stressed that Ronnie will soon achieve a
significant record in the Spanish Liga. In fact, adding his current 14 goals
with the 34 strikes he made with Barcelona FC in the 1996-97 season, he is just
about to hit the target of 50 goals, a dramatic record to achieve in such a
reduced length of time. Hence, Ronaldo will soon celebrates his 50s!
