Ronaldo: I love to be hated
-
CRISTIANO RONALDO says he does not care if he is hated for moving to Real Madrid.
The Portugal winger will leave Manchester United in an £80million deal at the end of the month.
Ronaldo forced the move through by telling boss Alex Ferguson he did not want to stay at Old Trafford.
But he said: "I love it when people jeer me.
"I love to see the hate in their eyes, to hear the insults. It doesn't bother me.
"It's true lots of people hate me but there are even more who love me and who support me.
"I feel bad only when I play badly. Fortunately, that happens rarely."
Ronaldo insists he left United to improve himself as a player.
He added: "I still have a long way to go. I really want to re-write the history of football.
"I am aware I'm already among the best of the best but I want to continue to write many more beautiful pages."
Ronaldo was outshone by Barcelona's Lionel Messi in last month's Champions League final in Rome.
But he insists is not interested in comparing himself to the Argentinian.
He said: "I have nothing to envy Lionel for. I don't compare myself to others.
"I am Cristiano Ronaldo - and I can win more medals than anybody else. I don't like to relax.
"The fans want to see a great Cristiano Ronaldo so I try to never disappoint."

Zidane fires warning to Cris
CRISTIANO RONALDO has been told: You won't be a star at Real Madrid.
The warning comes from Real legend Zinedine Zidane, who has returned to the Bernabeu as an advisor to president Florentino Perez.
Ronaldo is set to become the world's most expensive player when he seals an £80million switch from Manchester United to the Bernabeu at the end of the month.
He will be joined by £62m signing Kaka and could also line up alongside David Villa and Franck Ribery.
But Frenchman Zidane said: "Ronaldo will have to come to terms with being just another player at the club.
"With the arrival of Kaka and more to follow, he cannot expect to take centre stage at a club like Real.
"Besides, while the supporters love to embrace superstar players, collective success is far more important to them than that of any individual."
Zidane claims Ronaldo's will have to cope with pressure which will come with his world record transfer fee.
He added: "As is always the case when a player movers for vast amounts of money the expectations are enormous.
"I know that from my own experience. You are burdened with it even though you have nothing to do with a fee agreed between two clubs."
Zidane believes Manchester United's decision to sell Ronaldo could prove a wise one.
He said: "Yes Manchester United are losing one of the top three players in the world, but with the money they are getting they can actually end up having a stronger and more balanced squad.
"If they invest the money well - which I am sure they will - then I can see them being better than last season."

I doubt fergie wanna take him back.

everyone in real madrid wants to become a star....

well, to be fair, he is good, but he seems to forget, in MU, there are people who run and give him the ball, and let him have the spotlight like Park, Rooney, Tevez..
at RM, he won't be so lucky. I read in UCL, Rooney has to change position 3 times to accomodate him. well, water under the bridge..

and importantly, SAF is always there to back him up and take the heat..
