The Phenomenon has once again proven that
his presence makes a difference, since his arrival at Milan the Rossoneri have
gained 26 points and increased their point average by 0.70 percent
Simple but efficient and spontaneous expressions from
the field are Ronaldo's speciality. He is more often than not a decisive point
on the end of something exciting happening near the goal. Milan's statistics are
encouraging the arrival of The Phenomenon. Of course, the Rossoneri have also
been doing great things in the Champions League as well thanks to the pure
talent of the likes of Filippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino. What Milan have
racked up since Ronie’s arrival on February 11, 2007 has changed the scenery
around here and it proves that his signing wasn't just a publicity move. The
numbers from the field are a solid as stone and as beautiful as we could have
hoped for.
Since Ronie's arrival in February arrival the Rossoneri have climbed up the
table point after point. It's enough to just look at the table layout from
February 11 when Ronie made his debut in a Milan 2-1 victory over Livorno: Lazio
27 points; MILAN 26; Inter 24; Roma 22; Fiorentina 21; Empoli 20; Sampdoria 15;
Parma and Reggina 14; Livorno and Udinese 13; Cagliari 12; Chievo and Palermo
11; Atalanta, Siena and Torino 10; Ascoli and Messina 8; Catania 3.
The Rossoneri point average since that date in February has also seen a
considerable increase from 1.66 per game (35 points from the first 21 games) to
2.36 (26 points in the 11 games since Ronaldo). Ronaldo has given a little
something to the side in every game to confirm that there is a good reason to
call him The Phenomenon. He is football royalty in motion, pure excellence for
all fans to enjoy. Ronaldo has scored five goals and set-up three so far and of
course there are his four disallowed goals as well (two of which were probably
valid, against Chievo and Ascoli). He was also awarded a free-kick which Andrea
Pirlo took and a penalty-kick which Alberto Gilardino took to draw Roma 1-1 on
March 31 as well as winning a penalty at Ascoli for Kakà to convert.
