Vieri backs 'traitor' Ronaldo
Saturday 3 February, 2007 ::: FI
Christian Vieri has played on both sides of the San Siro and given his backing to Ronaldo after he made the same journey.
“It’s a little strange to see him with a Milan jersey, because in Italy he’d only ever played for Inter,†commented the well-travelled hitman.
“It is a choice that must be respected. He wanted to leave Real Madrid, Milan wanted to sign him, so he did well to take that opportunity.â€
The Nerazzurri have dubbed Ronaldo a ‘traitor’ for returning to Serie A with their arch rivals, but Bobo doesn’t see the problem.
“If someone plays for a club and leaves, does that mean he is not allowed back into the country or something? What was he supposed to do, retire?
“I can understand it might irritate the fans, but he was at Inter many years ago. It’s only right he is allowed to make his decision and play where he wants to go.â€
Vieri’s own passage to the Rossoneri was less than successful, as after six months and a handful of appearances, he left for another disappointing spell in Monaco.
“At the start it feels a little strange, as you’re wearing different club colours and in a new environment. I got on very well at Milan, though, right from the start with the Coach, teammates, trainers, physiotherapists and fans.
“They gave me an exceptional welcome and I’m sure they’ll reserve the same for Ronaldo. I am waiting for his phone call so we can go to dinner some time. We’re too old to go partying now, so dinner and an early night it is!â€

Ron relishing Milan challenge
Ronaldo has said returning to Serie A with Milan is “the biggest challenge of my lifeâ€.
“I am truly happy with these first days at Milan. Everyone is treating me very well and I can only thank them,†said the ex-Inter striker.
“There is a lot of enthusiasm around my return to Italy and you all know that coming back here was a huge challenge for me.â€
The Brazilian was an icon for the Nerazzurri before demanding a switch to Real Madrid in 2002, but surprisingly moved to the other side of the San Siro in January.
He made his debut in the Rossoneri jersey on Sunday in the 2-1 victory over Livorno and had three shots on goal.
“Unfortunately, I had a few efforts that were only just out, so I hope it goes better against Siena,†continued Il Fenomeno, who may be given his first start this weekend.
“It’s all going well. I really want to impress and I’ve already said this is the biggest challenge of my life. It’s one I want to win.â€

With all my heart I wish him luck .. He still has something to show us and I am confident he wont let Milan down .
Ronaldo promises "many goals"
Having made his first appearance in Italy for five years, Milan striker Ronaldo has assured his new club the goals will soon follow.
The Brazilian made his debut in a Rossoneri shirt last weekend, when he came on as a substitute for nearly half an hour against Livorno, but he is set for his first start against Siena on Saturday afternoon.
"It was a great experience," said the former Inter ace of last Sunday's game. "You have to forget the past and look to the future with optimism.
"I felt really comfortable. There is still a lot of work to do, I have to adapt to my team-mates just as they have to adapt to my play.
"I know that the goals will come and there will be many," he said.
The three-time World Player of the Year is likely to be partnered by compatriot Ricardo Oliveira at the Stadio Artemio Franchi as coach Carlo Ancelotti axes his preferred early season pairing of Alberto Gilardino and Pippo Inzaghi.
Ancelotti said: "Ronaldo is really motivated and he is giving so much in training. I think we will soon see the best Ronaldo, he just needs more playing time."

it's funny cuz some of us predicted 2 goals. i wasnt one of them but i saw sure he would score. but wow 2 goals and an assist... cant ask for more.
So in the end we got a (more-than-Sheva-) hungry Ronaldo instead of the Ukranian plus 35m!

I exchanged players on Thursday, and I was having a lot of trouble with picking strikers since I used up lots of money of midfielders. I saw Roni and I was really tempted to buy him even though I was unsure of the outcome of the match. I was short a few cents , but I sold a few players to get him... I'm glad I gave him a chance!!! My brother's happy about it (the 2 gols), even though he didn't show it...he gave me an I-knew-I-was-right-all-along

Ronaldo left out by Brazil
Brazil boss Carlos Dunga has opted to ignore Milan striker Ronaldo for the Selecao’s upcoming friendly tests.
Brazil will play Chile and Ghana in Sweden this month and Il Fenomeno was hoping in a call-up, after his promising start with the Rossoneri following his January move from Real Madrid.
Although the former Fiorentina midfielder has admitted that he is monitoring the striker, Dunga insists he’s not yet ready for samba selection.
“We are watching and observing him,†said Dunga to reporters. “As soon as his performances interest us and he is near to his best then he will be selected.â€
Ronaldo’s teammate Nelson Dida also failed to make the 22-man Brazil roster. Roma man Amantino Mancini, despite his outstanding performance in the Champions League match with Lyon on Tuesday, was omitted too.
The 1994 World Cup winning captain has only selected two Serie A players in the shape of Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar and Milan star Kaka.
There was also no place for Adriano. The Inter striker, selected just once by the Coach so far, is recovering from the injury which ruled him out of the Valencia clash in midweek.
Brazil have played six matches under Dunga so far, suffering their first defeat under his management against Portugal at the Emirates Stadium last month.
Brazil squad – Goalkeepers: Helton (Porto), Julio Cesar (Inter)
Defenders: Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Ilsinho (Sao Paulo), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), Kleber (Santos), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Alex Rodrigo (PSV Eindhoven), Juan (Bayer Leverkusen), Luisao (Benfica)
Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Mineiro (Hertha Berlin), Dudu Cearense (CSKA Moscow), Elano (Shakhtar Donetsk), Josue (Sao Paulo), Diego (Werder Bremen), Kaka (Milan)
Forwards: Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Robinho (Real Madrid), Fred (Olympique Lyon), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Vagner Love (CSKA Moscow)

I could be wrong, but it's a little difficult to call up someone who retired several months ago.
Bullsh!t!! R9 has been better then any of the other strikers called up!!
Will Ronaldinho continue his 20-month scoreless drought for Brazil?
Maybe someone can get him to pretend that he's playing in the '05 Confed Cup final.

R10 needs to come over to the red side of Milan, fast.
Well .. I think it is better that R9 wasnt called up ... He needs to consentrate more on scoring for us. Who knows maybe this will be to Milan's benifit; R9 would be even more motivated to prove Dunga wrong for not selecting him .. We'll know his reaction in the derby

Ronnie makes Milan pledge
Ronaldo has pledged his future to Milan after an impressive start to life in the Rossoneri shirt.
“Milan is the present and the future for me. I love playing in this jersey and I want to win things here,†he told CNN.
Speaking from Marseille where he will take part in UNICEF’s ‘Match Against Poverty’ between a team of his friends and a side chosen by Zinedine Zidane, Il Fenomeno explained his decision to leave Real Madrid for the Diavoli.
“I needed to carry on playing football at the highest level and Milan gave me an enormous opportunity,†he stated.
“It’s a great world-class club playing on the biggest stage.â€
Despite doubts over his fitness upon his arrival in January, Ronaldo has already found the net three times in just seven starts – including a goal against his former employers Inter – and has injected life into a stuttering attack.
The three-time FIFA World Player of the Year was booed with every touch in Week 28’s Derby della Madonnina which ended in a disappointing 2-1 defeat, but he remains philosophical about his relationship with the Milanese public.
“I was just focused on the game with everything else is in the background,†he stressed.
“Of course I wasn’t happy with the reception I got from the Inter fans, but I’m used to looking forward instead of backwards.â€

Ronaldo: I'll be Number One again
Ronaldo pledges to end his career at Milan and become “Number One†again, bring Ronaldinho and break bread with Massimo Moratti.
“I’m not at the top of my form yet. I am training hard and every now and then I feel a few niggles that slow me down,†he told the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’.
“These are normal, as I am finally getting to grips with some little aspects that are affecting my physique discovered by MilanLab, so I know at the end of this process I will be great again.
“At the start of next season, after the summer training camp, I will be at the top once more. I will be Number One.â€
Many questioned Milan’s decision to sign Il Fenomeno from Real Madrid, but he has impressed in Serie A with four goals so far.
“I am sure I can do it and have so much more to give in this sport. I was born the same week as Francesco Totti and Andriy Shevchenko, yet nobody doubts or criticises their stamina. I am not old, nor finished – you will realise that.â€
One of the reasons behind his improvement is leaving behind the dreadful rapport he had with Real boss Fabio Capello.
“I have a splendid relationship with Carlo Ancelotti. He is a friend, not a general. I get on well with Carlo as I did with Gigi Simoni and Vincente Del Bosque. It’s not because he is permissive. Ancelotti knows when to say no and deals with the locker room brilliantly.â€
He had been a shadow of his former self in recent months in La Liga, but the San Siro air has revitalised Ronaldo.
“I will end my career here. I don’t know for how many years I will play, but I want to do so with this jersey.â€
This comment will be a dagger in the heart of some Inter fans, in particular President Massimo Moratti, who did not hide his disappointment at the switch to their great rivals.
“I will invite Moratti to dinner, but not yet. First I want to wait for his bitterness to pass over my move to Milan. Inter are the past and the fact they are about to win the Scudetto leaves me totally indifferent.â€
Ronaldo has swelled the group of Brazilians in the Rossoneri camp, but is eager to further increase their number.
“I can do something to help President Silvio Berlusconi get Ronaldinho. It’s pointless talking to him about how wonderful Milan are, though, as he already knows everything,†smiled the Selecao star.
He is cup-tied and cannot play at Old Trafford, but might be in the stands to cheer on his teammates in the semi-final with Manchester United.
“I would certainly like to make it, although it depends on my training schedule. I am awaiting a great gift from my colleagues. Milan have to win the Champions League this year, but also next season when I will be able to play!â€
