A week of intense training is about to draw to an end. For Ronaldo
this phase off athletic work is fundamental to face a season full of
appointments. - RONIE'S DECLARATIONS -
MILANELLO - Here is the interview given to Milan Channel by Ronaldo:
First days of work at Milanello but Ronaldo had already started in
Brazil. How are you? "I'd say I'm doing well, it's tough, for everyone: it's been a very
tough week, and so will the next one be, but we need to keep our engines
running throughout the season."
Are you making a countdown to the end of the preparation or for the
start of the games that matter? "I can't wait to start with the various competitions because we know
of the importance of these weeks of hard work, it's physical but I don't
think anyone likes doing only athletic work."
Ronaldo became a Rossonero in January. This is your first training
camp with Milan: have you noticed differences with respect to other
teams? "All preparations are tough but I'd say at Milan there is a more
personalised work which allows every player to exploit the
characteristics of every player to the fullest."
Does the fact you will be participating to the Champions League this
season give you more motivation? "Certainly, participating to the Champions League from the start is
an extra satisfaction but we have to participate for the whole season,
there are many competitions ahead of us."
What can Milan do in this season? "Many good things, let's hope we start well. This year everyone
starts with the same amount of points. We are satisfied with this start,
we still have to improve, we have to work hard in these weeks then on
the pitch we will see the results."
