I saw an article in the Daily Express this morning and Barcelona player Xavi has urged United star Ronaldo by saying that Ronaldo would be better of in Spain. The first thing that came into my head was why now? Why did he come out with this the day before a massive match and the only reason i could think of was to try and unsettle Ronny.
Barcelona know what a player Ronaldo is and what i think is that Xavi has said this to distract Ronaldo and try and put him off his game tonight.
Ronaldo has recently come out and said that he is happy in England and at United and to be perfectly honest all of this is getting boring and laughable.
Here is what Xabi said and you can make your own mind up (maybe you could also tell me exactly what Ronaldo's future at United has to do with him):
"Ronaldo has goals, dribbling, pace and a winning mentality but also he over-complicates things," Xavi said in the Daily Express.
"He feels so superior to everybody, and rightly so, that he tries things that are unnecessary.
"He could be a much better player if he was here, playing with us. I have a soft spot for him. I would love him to join us.
"I feel that at the moment he doesn't get as much pressure, as many demands, as he would get here. In England, if you do a couple of things right, people talk about you being a legend.
"Here if you don't control a ball properly or if you kick the ball into the stands, people hate you. So you have to become a better player.
"Along with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo is the best player in the world. In fact he is in front of Leo in terms of influence in a game. The kid has everything. We are talking about physical and technical football."
"Fernando Torres is a better player over in England, with all the space he finds in front of him; here defences place themselves in their own box," he said,
"Thierry is like a horse that needs space to turn and he doesn't find it here. He has played better in away games, but in the Camp Nou he struggles.
"It is true the pace of the game between Liverpool and Arsenal was amazing, but the ball was lost or robbed every 30 seconds - that is not beautiful football.
"Football is played with the ball, it is about moving it from side to side to find spaces, to find yourself in superiority on the wing, to have little moments of magic.
"We can all be physical but not everybody can be tactically adept. That needs training and faith in that style. This way of playing has got much more merit."
