He wanted to eat with Ancelotti...

Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if Don Silvio asked him to change it back. It's much better this way anyway...

I wouldn't believe what you read.

Remember at the start of the season when he was meant to miss the Sevilla game but be ready for the start of the Serie A campaign? That went well.

neat

yeah or the one where he was meant to play in Japan , hes missed to finals , does he want to win anything with Milan

Geez. Just release this fat f.

It's more the management's fault imo...

hes fading away like a ghost , hes taunting me with his injuries one minute hes getting better , the next hes got worse !!!!!!

Get well soon dude we need you !!

The always reliable Ronaldo has again showed why he is a key member of the team...

I read something somewhere that said R99 might become clinically depressed if he stays injured. The source wasnt reliable so i didnt really think anything of it

all we have so far is Corriere dello Sport making up some story bout his injury?

we'll wait till tomorrow when Carlo picks his squad for the game, i'm sure he'll say a thing or two about the situation...

why do that when you can cuild a team around him and place any hope of winning anything on him?

Jesus. Ronnie's "mysterious" injuries have now gotten to the point where Robert Stack should host a TV special about it. It's ridiculous.

On the other hand, pretty much everything Milan-related reported by Corriere dello Sport, you could fertilize the San Siro with it.

CLASSIC!

True. He's great IF he plays. He never does though...

Ronaldo focused on Euro glory

Ronaldo is back in action after a series of injuries and has one target in his sights – to win the Champions League with Milan.

“I have not yet won the Champions League, so I will do everything I can to bring it back home with Milan.”

He is closing in on full fitness in the run-up to the second round showdown with Arsenal, which would be his European debut in a Rossoneri jersey.

He was cup-tied due to his time with Real Madrid in last season’s triumphant competition, while physical problems have prevented him from playing in the Champions League, European Super Cup or Club World Cup this term.

The striker has barely set foot on the field this season due to recurring knee and muscular injuries, but finally seems ready to make his mark against Siena this weekend.

“This is going to be an important game. We are make up for lost ground after a bad start and to win here would be crucial.”

The Rossoneri are now in fifth place with a game in hand after defeating top four contenders Udinese and Fiorentina away from home in recent weeks.

However, they are without injured stars Alexandre Pato and Kaka – as well as the suspended Alberto Gilardino – for the Siena encounter, so he could partner Pippo Inzaghi.

“We had a few training sessions together and had a lot of fun. This season when I was fit then he tended to be injured, and vice versa, but now we’re more or less alright at the same time. If we do play alongside each other, we will try to do very well,” he told Milan Channel.

“A year ago I was able to give my contribution, this year a little less. I am disappointed at all the injuries I had in my career and think there were many mistakes both from the medical staff and from me.

“Now I hope to get some consistency into my performances because being here at Milan is wonderful and very motivating. I am determined to do well.”

Milan, Ronaldo potrebbe saltare la gara con il Livorno

10.02.2008

Ancora brutte notizie per Carlo Ancelotti. Ronaldo nella partita contro il Siena ha subito un colpo al ginocchio. Il brasiliano è in forte dubbio per la partita contro il livorno, in programma mercoledì sera


Google translator:

More bad news for Carlo Ancelotti. Ronaldo suffered a blow to the knee in the match against Siena and is a huge doubt for Wednesday evening's game against Livorno.

Yes, like we did not expect this...

Oh man. I have to admit, I was defending the boards position when they made it clear that we were going to have to rely on Gila, Pippo and Roni for most of the season. But it seems as though Roni has failed to do enough to secure a contact extension in my opinion.

I don't really see any sign of him slimming down, and although he can often make something happen when the ball is at his feet, he rarely seems to move into positions where he has the space to do that.

I think he should move on at the end of the season. Somewhere like America would suit him right now - Milan are fighting on too many fronts to have to rely on someone in his condition.

Ronaldo to retire?

There are rumours in Brazil that Milan’s injury-plagued striker Ronaldo may quit football.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen...

what a sad moment...i knew that this could come, but still wasn't prepared...milano is a hell city for him, shame...i'm filling so sad for him, not for milan, we can still buy another player, but he already had so much trouble...damn

MILAN - A.C. Milan communicate that after the first checks made at the Galeazzi hospital in Milan to the player Ronaldo, a rupture to his kneecap ligament was found in his left knee.

Whatever keeps you from doing what you love to do, truly is cruel. Now he slowly has to find the joy in his life in another direction. He has to find a new purpose so he can also get over his psychological problems. I myself haven't played football(or any sports) for over a year now because of a shin problem and it really is a psychological burden even though football is not my purpose in life.

i think we should keep him in the club...if he wont play anymore, he can only be good for the younger players...pato,paloschi...and also for kaka

If he goes on even after this... I'm going to idolize him! Even now, it's really something to be respected that he goes on...

...

I'd prefer to spend 6M/euros per year on a healthier player. A player that can actually help Milan.

i'm not saying paying him that much...a coach contract or something...assistant coach, whatever...

I don't think he is that kind of material... Scout maybe...

it doesnt matter what...just to keep him around that players...for me he can carry their watter...

Me too. believe me. I'd give anything to see him in Milan shirt once more.

Pippo's career at some point was thought over too. but he fought and came back and became world and European champion. why should Roni consider retirement when he's only 31? I hope he doesn't give up...

If he decides to go on... I'd like it if we kept him... but someone has to come in to replace him in any case.

do u think we have a recall option for any of our strikers out...oliveira, borriello,...

QUOTE:
ADRIANO GALLIANI:

"Purtroppo non è stata una bella serata a causa dell'infortunio che ha visto coinvolto Ronaldo. Ronie adesso è stato portato all'ospedale Galeazzi di Milano ed per il momento è stato riscontrato un serio problema al tendine rotuleo. Appena è successo l'incidente ho lasciato la tribuna per scendere negli spogliatoi e accertarmi delle sue condizioni. Ha provato sicuramente molto dolore, ma adesso dobbiamo solo stare calmi e aspettare senza trarre conclusioni affrettate. Quando Ronie piangeva, l'ho abbracciato, venivano le lacrime anche a me, ma gli ho detto che gli saremo stati vicini. Il Milan ha già dimostrato in passato che non abbandona mai i giocatori che sono vittime di infortuni e la stessa cosa accadrà per Ronaldo. Questa sera Ronie ci ha permesso di conquistare un punto importante con il rigore, ma a noi preoccupa il suo incidente. In questo momento lo stanno visitando, ma le diagnosi complete non si possono fare a caldo, dovremo aspettare i prossimi giorni. Ronie è sceso in campo con tutta la voglia di aiutare la squadra, nei giorni scorsi non appena si è sentito un po' meglio si è reso subito disponibile e, ripeto, ha contribuito a questo pareggio che magari a fine anno sarà importante ai fini della classifica. Adesso sta a noi stragli vicino.
Appena Ronie è stato portato via in barella ho telefonato subito al presidente Berlusconi che mi ha chiesto di tenerlo informato.
Attendiamo i prossimi giorni per la diagnosi definitiva e speriamo non sia da operare, ma se dovesse essere così si opererà.

When Ronie was crying, I huged him and I started to cry too, but I told him that we will be close to him. Milan in past has proven that he never abandon players who are victims of injuries and the same thing will happen with Ronaldo!

We won't abandon him!

p.s.; All the players after the game rushed to the hospital to see how Ronaldo is.

... what a shame! We should keep him with us for one year or how long it is this injury requires and let him decide about his future when he's through it.

But I think it all ended tonight... I am sorry, Ari!

There are a couple of stories about the injury on Controcampo. Apparently, Leonardo and Seedorf rode with Ronie to the hospital. He's going to be flown to Paris and tomororw, he will be operated on by the same team that operated on his other knee.

There was a lot of concern by both the Milan staff and from Livorno. Apparently, when he heard about the injury, the Livorno president's first question was whether or not any of his players caused the injury.

One of the stories is quoting the 9 - 12 month recovery time and is saying the same thing that many of us have already guessed: this may be the end of Ronie's career.

Sad sad (possible) end to one of the greatest strikers ever. Hopefully he will recover and play in the MLS or something.

i have no problem keeping ronaldo for another year.

but for the love of god we need to get a WC forward.

i cant fucking take another season with the most useless set of strikers. whether it be because of injury related, spychological, old age, not having enough sex !! i'm gonna go crazy with these guys.

remeber the good old days when crespo, sheva, pippo and even gila were scoring goals.

we need a WC forward, our go to guy, our own ibra.

pato might be that guy one day, but i'm not expecting it by next season.

Gilardino, Pato, Inzaghi, Paloschi

Ronaldo was one of the greatest strikers to ever live, to see his career end like this... its something no player should have to go through

Ronaldo deserved to go out with a bang, not like this.
