PORTUGAL slashing the quarterfinals

After 45 minutes of jam, Portugal urgently needed speed and without the ball to break the siege Czech. And knew how to turn their goals into reality thanks to the quality of brushstrokes in which intervened always Cristiano Ronaldo, perfectly supported by Deco. The 3-1 final is misleading. Never had it easy the Iberian.

For almost the entire first part, the selection Czech lusa the offensive bogged down with a defensive order full support and prevented progression of a banda elected Felipao Scolari. Neither Ronaldo nor Simao felt comfortable on the sides, before the Czech superiority in these areas of the countryside.

The European runner was forced to draw masterpieces precision impossible among a sea of opponents. As genius does not lack in the group, the miracle arrived. And soon, in minute 8. Among Deco and Cristiano produced a great scoring touch that the first initialled on Brazilian midfielder original herd the ball before the departure of desperate goalkeeper Cech.

Danger from the corner
The goal created the false impression that the Czech defense was a sea of doubt. In attack, the Central did not give a recital. But suffice to move the ball stopped a corner kick, to rebalance the fighting. A counterattack from Sionko, the most active and vertical portfolio, resulted in the corner, with the launch of Plasil and the surprise appearance of the same Sionko headed to finish, generated between the candidates.

A goal every eight minutes. I could not start a game of the best group stage. But since then, the Czech machine tapó decisively and placing all exits from the Portuguese, who enjoyed a long ball and virtually no opportunity to put forward until the break. Only shots from outside, Deco and Ronaldo, forced to work Cech.
/> Instead, the Czechs appeared to them the possibility of scoring every time they threw a ball Plasil stationary, especially since the banners. Baros, reappeared as a sole proprietor and striker, played only created a dangerous counterattack.

Cracks in fatigue
The solution to the serious indigestion Portuguese arrived back in a move inspired, three taps. Opening a la banda right at last control Deco in the peak area and auction raso in front Crisitano. Portugal had not improved after the interval too, but at least began to open by pure fatigue cracks in the combined wearing red.

The Czech Republic, by then, had already presented to Nuno Gomes amago a goal that the striker, slow and unfortunate, did not know embolsarse. But also continued its offensive drip, always at the top, pitching for Ujfalusi net after a corner kick, or with 2-1 on the scoreboard, another testarazo of Sisonko diverted to the goalkeeper Ricardo with his mitts right.

The presence of Koller from the substitution did not improve the statistical REMAT of the Czechs, but delayed further lines Portuguese. The Scolari of what went wrong, but when the match was finished, Ronaldo overwhelmed a team launched the attack and, just in front of Cech, to substitute Quaresma gave an auction to empty door, 3-1.

Calderon expects a positive response from Christian in 10 or 12 days

Ten minutes after finishing the final in Moscow, Ramon Calderon received a telephone call from Spain. "President, having won the Champions lad with Manchester, there is some possibility for there to draw from Cristiano Ronaldo."

The agent Madrid, vocational and pathological optimist, replied without hesitation with a festive tone: "Of course. Even more, because to have week, "came up. This was said in El Mirador de Punto Radio:" If the Portuguese decided to leave there will be unstoppable. Slavery was abolished long ago and nobody can prevent a player change of scenery. If it is firm in its decision, who would not be retained there. It is an extraordinary footballer ...".

The strategy ordered by the president white sets limits within that indisimulado desire to recruit the future Golden Ball and Fifa World Player: won everything there can tell owners of Manchester which has peaked and you need new challenges in his career ...". From that moment, Calderon was asking various colleagues in the written press and radio on the content of the Post-game statements of megacrack Luso. "Have you already revealed his future?". When I commented that 7 of the Red Devils had raised expectations about his signing in saying that not reveal his future "even within a disbursement up to 90 million and require Cristiano Ronaldo respond to Madrid before the start of the Euro in Austria and Switzerland, scheduled for next June 7.

Money. When Calderon said two weeks ago that "Madrid has 100 million euros to make signings" not lied. The plan included a 10 million at Racing to ensure the signing of Garay (played in the Bernabeu since 2009) and another 90 set the price ceiling for convince the Manchester to accept that the operation would be the largest in the history of football. The precedent earlier, Zidane, is far (costing 75 million).

If the transaction eventually fail Christian, Real Madrid already has developed through Mijatovic a Plan B in the fall signings of a more purely footballing profile: Huntelaar (Ajax), Hleb and Cesc (Arsenal), Vucinic (Roma), Diego ( Werder Bremen), Quaresma (Porto).

In any case, we can be a soap opera because Christian summer conditions the rest of signings by what it is expensive. If you come, you say that in ten or twelve days. We can not wait any longer ...". Come on, that will have nothing to do with the soap opera that was in 2002 with another Ronaldo, signed an August 31 ... Calderon, who was in the boxes of Moscow's Luzhniki stadium to witness the success of the team at Old Trafford in the finals of the Champions hopes that the Portuguese magician dares to take the step that once gave Ronaldo at Inter, Zidane at Juventus and Beckham himself in Manchester.

Wait. However, time is money. Therefore, the time that Madrid has given Christian and his agent, Jorge Mendes, expires on June 7, the day of the start of Euro. "

Buddy Carlitos Tevez in Manchester United, Portuguese is the new crack of world football. Le sobra talent, paint, many tickets in the bank and intends to burn a disk. Real Madrid wants, but it was valued at nearly $ 150 million.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not a player in modern football. Their skills with the ball made that transcended in the world as one of the best in his specialty. But there is a life, hectic and very active behind the number seven shirt crack Portuguese.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Averio, the most expensive player at the time, knew from very chiquito it was a passion for the ball. On the island of Madeira, where he was born and grew up, he began to show their skills that took him to be transformed into something more than a good promise. National Sporting Lisbon and it hosted its ranks, until he discovered a certain Sir Alex Ferguson, the master of Manchester United.

Always surrounded by specialists who focused on their studies, psychologists who had helped him to overcome his teens, and doctors who watched their physical growth, became a banner of the modern athlete. A physical machine with exceptional skills, a unique temperament and charisma overwhelming. Enough to become the obsession of Real Madrid, who should pay at least $ 150 million if it wants to hire him. Yes, these (and perhaps more) are tickets to Manchester United seeks to shed their joyita.

She ran the plate crack. About to meet 23 years, took place on the podium of the best in the world (he was awarded the Silver Ball) and assumed the leadership of smooth two teams littered with stars. The Diablos Rojos, is the voice singer even above phenomena such as Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez. And in the selection of Portugal, there is Deco, Figo or Quaresma reach stopper which represents "Batipibe."

Inside the stadium there are few negative issues that this phenomenon can be found. Opponents, inconformistas usual accuse him of individualistic. Do not believe the same thing, however, their peers, recipients of a thousand allotments.

The ability of this phenomenon is also evident outside the green grass. Her image became almost a brand and there are many who elected to sell their products. Nike, for example. While also worth mentioning that the Portuguese is the face of one of the most famous football games in the world.

Goalscorer also with women. Romances here, romances there. His image of sex symbol led him to position itself among the most coveted by them and one of the celebrities who never lacking in the entertainment media, both in England and in Portugal.

Perhaps for that front is the shadow that pursues outside of the stadium. Nor is a Benedictine monk, of course. Scandals with women, who took him to court are a great spot to opaque at such tremendous footballer. In 2005, Christian was accused of abuse to a minor, but was later acquitted.

Zealot Ricky Martin Ronaldito plans to sing on the disk of Catia, her sister soloist, as ever did Tevez, his companion, or Kun Agüero. Of course, it would be strange to see him sing a Christian cumbia. Although the chosen athlete of the year in Portugal in the last two years, it seems that everything is more.
