Zinedine Zidane was unable to contact hospitalised star Ronaldo as he recovers from his horrific knee injury because the hospital operator didn’t know who the Frenchman was.


Ronaldo is in hospital in Paris having undergone surgery for the career-threatening ruptured tendon in his knee that he suffered in last Wednesday’s match with Livorno. 

Messages of support have flooded in for El Fenomeno, who is set to be out of the game for at least nine-to-twelve months. 

One of these well-wishers was none other than France legend Zinedine Zidane, who is a former team-mate of Ronaldo from their time together at Real Madrid. 

Zidane yesterday rang up the hospital that Ronaldo is staying at in order to speak to his old colleague and friend. 

When the hospital telephone operator asked who was calling, incredibly the name Zinedine Zidane was not recognised by the employee, thus the 1998 World Cup winner was not granted permission to speak to Ronaldo. 

Zidane only retired from football in 2006, after winning one Champions League, one World Cup and one European Championship.

I refuse to acknowledge that a single person in Paris does not know who he is. The operator must have thought it was a hoax or he/she just does not like him...

(I'm translating an Italian article which is quoting a Brazilian article here. So apologies in advance if I screw it up).

Ronaldo has apparently said in a phone interview that he wants to return earlier than the 9 months currently predicted.

He's getting a lot of visitors and phone calls. Kaka (a 'good friend') has called regularly. Ronie's set to leave the hospital on Friday. To pass the time until then, he's watched TV - including a documentary on Iraq and one about koala bears. However, much to his annoyance, he couldn't watch Brazilian tv so he missed the weekly episode of 'Sete Pecados' (which, from the context, is a soap opera of sorts. I think). However, due to a computer in his hospital room, he was able to cast a vote for the elimination of one of the competitors of the Brazilian version of Big Brother.

Sounds like he's in good spirits.  96.gif

Ronaldo: I'll Be Back Nine Months

El Fenomeno ruptured the tendon in his knee during last week’s match with Livorno, and was forced to undergo surgery.

The striker has been told by doctors that he will be out of action for at least nine-to-twelve months, although many people believe he will be lucky if he ever plays again.

Ronaldo seems very determined to make a quicksilver recovery and is reported to have told ex-Real Madrid team-mate Julio Baptista that he is hoping to take to the field within nine months.

"I want to return to the field quickly,”cry.gif cry.gif said Ronaldo.

“I can do it before the nine months predicted by the doctors."

If this proved to be the case, then there is the possibility of seeing the 31-year-old in action before the end of the 2008 calendar year.

However experts believe that a more realistic comeback date will be at the beginning of the 2009/10 season.

I do believe Ronaldo will do a Pippo. This one year break will do a world of good, when he comes back, he won't have the weight of being our only hope on his shoulders, since we will have most definitely signed another striker.

We'll just have to see.

Determined Ronnie leaves hospital
Friday 22 February, 2008

Ronaldo has left the Pitié Salpetriere Hospital in Paris and has given the first interview since his knee reconstruction.

The Brazilian star’s career hangs in the balance after severing tendons in his knee during Milan’s game against Livorno on February 13.

While the operation in Paris was a complete success, Ronnie faces an agonising rehabilitation period of at least nine months.

“If I feel good and I don’t feel any pain, I will continue to play,” El Fenomeno insisted. “If my body is behind me, I will return to the pitch.

“To leave football would be a difficult decision. At the moment I am thinking about recovering as well as possible, but of course the injury was a very hard blow.

“I want to carry on playing and my heart is in it, but my body is giving me signs of fatigue.

“This period will be useful as it will allow me to recuperate physically and to be able to live a normal life in the future.”

Ronaldo will divide his time between Milan and Paris over the coming months as he retrains his knee and will hope the lay-off is considerably less than the 20 months it took to recover when playing for Inter in 2000.

“My motivation is the same as it was then,” he stated. “I’m hoping that this time there won’t be the delays that I experienced last time.

“The first injury was a completely new experience, but now I can stand on the shoulders of that.

“We know what to do and we know what’s best if I want to be able to return to football.

“There’s always this love for football, the passion for the sport and the desire o score goals. And that is the light at the end of the tunnel, but it won’t be easy.”

Ronaldo: I couldn't stop crying

Ronaldo confesses he’s not sure if he’ll ever play again and gives an insight into what he felt when his knee tendon snapped for the third time.

The Milan star has now left the Paris clinic where he underwent surgery to repair a snapped left knee tendon and gave a revealing interview.

“At the start I couldn’t stop crying, as there was an incredible pain,” he explained of the incident during the 1-1 draw with Livorno 10 days ago.

“I felt a very strong crack and immediately my mind raced over images I had already seen. In that moment I thought the right thing to do was give up after this had happened to me again.”

It was the third time he has severely damaged knee tendons, although in the past it had always been the right knee.

Doctors have warned Ronaldo will be out of action for a minimum of nine months and even he admits he doesn’t know if he will ever play professional football again.

“At the time I thought I’d try to recover so I could live a normal life and rest, because I have been playing for many years,” he told Sky Italia television.

“But in those moments of sadness so many things go through your mind. I was defeated, on the floor, but slowly there is the chance to come back and I will fight until the bitter end for that possibility.”

An element of doubt remains around Il Fenomeno’s chances of returning to the sport at the highest level at the age of 31.

“This isn’t the right time to think about it, because everything is still so fresh and recent. I have to focus on my recovery now, which will be very long and difficult.

“Then at the end, if I really am fit again, truly do not feel pain and have the confidence to step on to the pitch, I will certainly return to the playing field.”

EXCLUSIVE: RONALDO GETTING BETTER FAST

Ronaldo could make his return to the pitch earlier than anticipated. Original predictions suggested that Il Fenomeno would be out for nine months, but after seeing him in Milan his physiotherapist Bruno Mazziotti believes he could be back in action sooner.

“He is recovering faster than we expected and that shows great dedication on Ronaldo’s part,” Mazziotti told Fobazo.

The improvement is such that Ronaldo will go to Milanello this Wednesday to meet with his AC Milan teammates and undergo further physio work at the club.

From Thursday onwards he will continue treatment both at the club and at home. The MRI scan and other tests scheduled for next week in Paris with Dr Gérard Saillant have now been moved back to 3 April.

Ronaldo can already bend his injured knee to 50 degrees with no pain. The examinations in Paris will confirm his progress and enable Saillant to see how the tendon operated on last month is healing.

If all goes well in Paris, Ronaldo will then travel to Madrid on 4 or 5 April for his son Ronald’s eighth birthday party on 6 April. After that he is set to head back to Brazil and continue his treatment there.

RONALDO IS IN ITALY
3/11/2008

MILAN - Ronaldo is back in Italy. The Brazilian was in Paris for 26 days of therapies after his knee injury. The Brazilian striker landed at 12.20 at Linate and limited himself to waving to the journalists and raising his thumb. Then Ronaldo left the airport on a car together with his girlfriend Maria Beatriz, who was with him these days in France, and with Milan's manager Leonardo.

Ronaldo: I'll be back

Ronaldo has confirmed he will try to get back to full fitness and professional football after his latest devastating injury.

“I am feeling better and the worse is behind me,” he told Milan Channel after returning from a month in Paris.

“I no longer feel pain and can now walk a bit better. In a little while I can definitively leave behind the crutches, naturally respecting the timetable we have set.”

Il Fenomeno conceded his career could well have been over when the tendon in his left knee snapped and was unsure whether or not to fight his way back through nine months of rehabilitation.

He returned to Italy this week after 26 days in the clinic in Paris and immediately felt more positive.

“It is great to be here today. Returning to Milanello, seeing my friends again and the fact I don’t feel pain are all positive.

“It is still early to talk about a decision, but I am preparing for this great challenge that is getting back to football.”

It is the third time in his career that he has undergone surgery on a knee tendon, although the previous two occasions were in his right leg.

Ronnie laughs off Pelè forecast

Ronaldo has reacted with good humour to Pelè’s suggestion that he may never return to football after his horror injury.

The Seleção star’s career is in jeopardy after he severed a tendon in his knee during Milan’s game against Livorno in February.

After a successful operation in Paris, the 31-year-old has begun the pain-staking process of re-educating his knee and may return to the pitch within the next year if things go according to plan.

However, Brazilian legend Pelè recently suggested that Ronnie would never be the same player again – a comment that El Fenomeno has taken with a pinch of salt.

“I am glad that he said I would never return because his predictions are always wrong,” Ronaldo told O Rei. laugh.gif

“Everyone knows that Pelè isn’t any good at forecasting things – they exact opposite always happens.

“I’m not angry – it doesn’t bother me. Pelè is an absolute idol and he gets asked questions about everything, so sometimes he gets himself into trouble trying to answer on difficult topics.”

pele is so stupid, he just reiterates what the media says or the "safest" answer, always so predictable.

thats why according to a him it's alaways a brazilian that should win the ballon d'or, brazil win win the world cup, etc.

But Ronaldo should play it down also. He should concentrate on his recuperation...

That's true. But if there's one Brazilian who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Pele it is Ronaldo (and then maybe Romario). Instead of hoping and praying that Ronnie gets back, he comes up with his stupid forecast. As much as I love Pele, I think it's about time he learned to keep his beak shut.

If someone thinks you're God, it doesn't mean you have to be one and start your forecast station. wink.gif

EXCLUSIVE: Ronaldo throws away his crutches
25/03-2008

Ronaldo took a massive step forward towards recovery on Thursday when he walked without crutches for the first time since his knee operation on 13 February.

After 41 days of rest and physiotherapy, the AC Milan striker expressed delight at his progress.

“I am very happy with the way things are going and the fact that I am no longer in pain,” Ronaldo told Fobazo as he ditched the crutches for a walking stick.

His physiotherapist confirmed that Ronaldo is close to getting full movement of his injured left knee and can already bend the joint to an angle of 70 degrees without experiencing any ill effects.

“Working slowly but surely we are getting better results that we had expected and Ronaldo is more and more confident and feeling more and more independent,” said Bruno Mazziotti. “Sometime in the next few weeks we are going to start working with weights.”

The happy atmosphere surrounding his recuperation has prompted Ronaldo to cut short his planned trip to Paris. The attacker was scheduled to spend a few days in the city before meeting with surgeon Gerard Saillant on 3 April.

But with his recovery going so well he has decided to stay in Milan and continue with his morale-boosting visits to the team’s training complex at Milanello.

He will now go to France on the eve of his 3 April appointment and if he gets the all clear travel to Madrid to celebrate his son Ronaldo’s birthday on 6 April.

Milan lab couldn't figure out what to do with Ronaldo's legs earlier, it's why all those mysterious injuries came.

So what do they do...break it and build him a new one. And voila everything works.
