The re-emergence of Cristiano Ronaldo with Manchester United, last Wednesday against Villarreal in the Champions League, will enable the stellar clash of the day, between the 'Red Devils' leader and Chelsea have Portuguese accent. The star Manu is able to play as Alex Ferguson said yesterday before his compatriot Deco (albeit by way of passport) in a duel which was republished in the final of the Champions League last season and where the current champions of Europe can not afford to lose for not missed the train of the head.

The game comes with two opposing teams. While Chelsea has become, under the guidance of Luiz Felipe Scolari, on a machine to play football the United comes to the appointment with the handbrake on and in excess noting the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The midfielder Manu Pichichi of the Premiership last season, is ready to cope with Chelsea. "I'm ready to play and I know that the defenses of Chelsea, I will submit to a harsh brand, but sobreponerme know and I will try to score goals as usual," said Cristiano Ronaldo. The player of the 'Red Devils' no hiding that it is aware that "there will be attempts to intimidate me" from the rival camp.

For his part, Deco has been erected in the who are not obsessed with his selection. "We are not obsessed with him. It's just one more player and we are strong enough to cope. " little time it takes to the London club, one of the great strengths of Scolari to keep the team at the top of the table. "Since I arrived at Chelsea was waiting for this match. I realize what it meant the defeat of my companions in the final in Moscow and now we have the opportunity to redress, "said former Blaugrana to the newspaper 'Daily Star'.

Deco admitted that Manchester United will be another with the contribution of Cristiano Ronaldo, but concrete

The Uefa awarded the best players of the last Champions. The footballers from the Premier Cup first posts and Cristiano Ronaldo also was elected the number 1 of the competition. Nothing surprising given the dominance of English clubs in the latest edition of which was end-Chelsea Manchester. The Spaniards are reserved for the end of the year for the Fife Player and the Golden Ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned yesterday in Monte Carlo as best player of the last Champions. It was a prize just because his team, Manchester United, and he was the champion with eight goals, the top scorer of the competition. The 23-year-old player succeeds Kaká, of Milan, as Player of the Year of Champions and is the second Portuguese who wins after Deco in 2004. "Winning this award is very important to me and I am proud. All the players we like to participate in the Champions because it is the best competition. Gan was a dream and if I can lift this trophy is thanks to my colleagues, "said the Portuguese.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the second player from Manchester United to get this award after David Beckham, who won in 1999. Ruud van Nistelrooy, now of Real Madrid striker, was voted best striker when the team was in English, in 2003. Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that the secret of his success "is the work" and said it feels "very happy for having won the Golden Boot as top scorer in Europe, despite playing as extreme."

The other winners at the gala Monte Carlo, in which three galactic like Zidane, Baresi, Charlton and Eusebio were the hosts alongside Platini, the Uefa president, were three other players from the Premier: Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper who overcame in voting to Almunia, Queen and Van der Sar; Terry, the captain of Chelsea which was imposed on Puyol, Barca great defense and the selection and finally Lampard, def players like Torres and Cesc Fabregas, who also opted to these awards.

He drew attention not win any awards any Spanish international, but we must bear in mind that what was rewarded yesterday in Monaco was the trajectory in the last Champions, not the Euro. The Spanish players have the opportunity to shine at the end of the year awards, Gold Ball and Fife Player, who is elected as the vote of the 52 selectors of the federations affiliated to Uefa. That end of the year it promises to be apoteósico for footballers Spaniards, although they may also be a prize for the Premier if the end is what leads Torres, who is amongst the favourites.

A slip by John Terry in launching penalty redeemed Cristiano Ronaldo, the player who currently represents the essence of football, located on the shores of hell after her shot and let err on the verge of frustration with his team.

Cristiano Ronaldo revived when the captain of Chelsea marró his shot. Compensate for the Portuguese. Threatened by the dictates of the black legend of big stars in excerpts Magna, which often AFE a great performance or Magna. He took the responsibility that it implies. Despite his youth. It marked the both of his team. Excel.

The first record jumped to fifteen minutes of the game. The Portuguese beat Michael Essien and focused the second suit. Do not benefited anyone. In half an hour center Wes Brown opened the door of glory. Cristiano auction to head to beat Czech Petr Cech.

The best player of the moment marked differences. It was a continual danger in Manchester. Not again face to the appointment. A perfect showcase for projecting the image of catalogued as the best player on the planet. Not hid Cristiano Ronaldo, who always exceeded the Ghanaian Michael Essien, with the stated mission of TAP.

Ronaldo endorsed the banda. His talent cleared the lane. Sometimes with an excess of ornaments, which generated some toughness in their adversaries.

The Manchester United striker, newly Golden Boot after 31 record this year as many in the English league, where it has surpassed the record for goals in a season that was four decades ago from the mythical "red devil" George Best, overlooking the miseries of sport when marró the penalty shot. The third of his team. That gave him the final uphill.

Cristiano Ronaldo broke the halo suspect that existed since the semifinals. When cloudy in the double duel against Barcelona, where he also marró a penalty, in the Nou Camp, who could have sentenced the knockout.

The duel with Chelsea redeemed a footballer who has been instrumental in achieving the last two Premier League.

Ronaldo already has the requirements to win the Golden Ball.

As happened with the Brazilian Kaká, champion of the "Champions" in Milan (2007), or with the Italian Cannavaro, who won the World Cup in Germany (2006).

His compatriot Eusebio, one of his idols, won the old European Cup twice with Benfica (1961 and 62) and was awarded the Golden Ball in 1965.

Ronaldo has scored 42 goals this season with his team in all competitions (league, cup and Champions League English), but if it had gone badly stress the stadium Luzhnikí, have fuelled suspicions. Now only he knows his future.

The Manchester United was proclaimed champion of the English League for the seventeenth time in their history after beating Wigan Athletic (0-2) with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, while its immediate persecutor, Chelsea, was unable to defeat Bolton (1-1).



However, Manchester depended on himself and a victory gave him the title regardless of what they did Chelsea, which also encountered at home to Bolton. Manchester won the first battle''to the blues.'' A battle to be resumed on May 21 in Moscow, with the Champions League through, and that balances old quarrels between red and blue.

And is that not all Ferguson gave not a single hope to Chelsea, who had to wait a setback before the Manchester Wigan. In the half-hour match, Cristiano Ronaldo-for the umpteenth time-ahead of theirs from the point of penalty and since then the devils''''had options to give the lace edging and the title game.

But the goal did not arrive until the confirmation that Ryan Giggs, who now equalled the legendary Bobby Charlton in number of games played with the Manchester (758), placed second in the account. For then, at Stamford Bridge, Shevchenko put the toe in a move embarullada pressure and move to Manchester.

For those of Ferguson not quaked pulse Chelsea and he despaired at the end because the title is not passed through his hands, but by a miracle and utopian reaction of Wigan. Finally there was even the Bolton thanks to Davies pulled one point fief of London.
