These are Ronnie’s figures in his first season at Real Madrid CF. However stats may not tell everything, since beyond the mere numbers the Brazilian striker proved strong and positive emotions during past season. “In order to comment my first season at Real Madrid CF, first of all I would like to stress my greatest satisfaction to come back and play in the Spanish League and in this country, where I had already played and where I feel perfectly comfortable. It’s hard to forget the fans’ welcoming after the long negotiation at the end of August… After a month dedicated to physical training I made a great debut, as it was in my dreams, scoring two hits at Bernabeu against Deportivo Alavés, another double after the one scored in Japan two months earlier against Germany in the World Cup final. Both team-mates and the trainer welcomed me fantastically, providing me with positive sensations. As time passed by, I have been incorporating with the squad more and more and with guys like Raúl, Luis, Zizou and so on... With such team-mates scoring it's almost a must, since they make things as easy as possible. Another unforgettable sensation is related to my personal comeback to Tokyo and with the second World title (Intercontinental) in a row, since I could experience again a World victory after just a few months. The fate seemed it had written a special script just for me. Last June in Spain I could win my first League title in my career while in the UEFA Champions League we could not access to the final only due to a poor performance…what a pity! But sure we will try again in the incoming season. Although it is true that things can always be improved, I would give Madrid a high mark, for the extraordinary quality of their football. On an individual level, on arriving I had promised 25 goals. Hence, I am quite satisfied after I could sore 30 goals this season. My personal challenge is to improve this record during next season...".
