Ronaldo: “there isn´t anybody more willing to score than me”
With Ronaldo on the pitch the
defenders of the other team cannot have a moment of break. He´s not
worried about his bad patch towards the net. He knows what is to stand
the pressure and he is very aware that everything will be fixed with a
goal. “I can see the pressure I have but there´s not anybody in the
world more willing to score than me”. For sure that he will talk next
Sunday in Bernabéu.
Is this the last train?
We don´t think so. We are going to face the game as just another game.We
don´t have to think about being first, but going game by game and then
hope that Barcelona fail. We must win without getting obsessed with the
League.
Is it the best game for you to score?
Every game is always the best one to score and you always have to give
everything you can. I can see the pressure but there´s anybody in the
world more willing to score than me. I have scored during my whole life
and once this bad patch is over, it will be like always. I am happy as
always. I have always played in great teams, though not as great as
Madrid. I´m used to it and everything will be over once I score. I´m not
obsessed or worried. If the scoreboard ends up in 3-0 and I haven´t
scored anything, it´s ok.
Is there any reason for this bad patch?
I see it just as a bad patch. I don´t find any explanation. I will have
to keep on trying because I think that with a little bit of luck, the
ball will get in.
How do you see Barcelona?
They have played well during the whole season and they keep on doing it.
They play very well, specially on the center. Each team have their own
style. I don´t care if Puyol plays or not. I never pay attention to the
players of the rival team.
Who lose more with the absences of Deco or Guti?
The show, but for sure these players replacing them will play as those
who won´t be able to play.
Have you done something different during the training?
It´s not a drama to train behind closed doors. Before a concert you
cannot see the singer rehearsing. Sometimes it´s not bad to train behind
closed doors.
If you win, will Barcelona suffer the consequences?
They have a huge advantage but it´s true that they have been years
without winning titles. What matters is to win them and then we will see.
We must concentrate the maximum and achieve the three points.
What do you think about the referee helps?
These are usual polemics in football. The referees make mistakes, many
times against us and in favour of the others. This year I have seen
three or four goals anulated that were valid but they are human and they
also make mistakes. No need to argue about it. they should be supported.
What do you think of Ronaldihno playing?
I think it´s good that he plays because he´s excellent . He is the best
player in the world right now. Good for them if he plays. We will say hi
as always and then we will fight for our respective team.
Can you give a forecast?
I hope a victory and if it can be with show and goals, better. I prefer
not to risk giving a result.
Do you have in mind to anulate the goal average?
First we must win and then if we can score many goals, we will do it.
