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.”

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.”

Ronaldo will play for Milan for, maybe, 3 years and then go to the MLS

what would you expect him to say?

Milan is not my future?
