Ronaldo 레알로?

역시 Ronaldo는 Real madrid로 이적할듯 싶다.. 그래도 이렇게 자기를 키워준 감독을 문전 박대하는건 아니지~!!

 

스포츠월드] ‘천하의 명장’ 알렉스 퍼거슨 감독(맨체스터 유나이티드)이 문전 박대를 당했다. 잉글랜드 프로축구 프리미어리그 맨체스터 유나이티드(이하 맨유)의 간판스타 크리스티아누 호날두(23)의 레알 마드리드(스페인) 이적에 무게가 쏠리고 있다.

BBC 등 영국 언론은 6일(한국시간) 일제히 호날두가 브라질의 축구 관련 인터넷 사이트 ‘테라’에서 “레알 마드리드에서 뛰고 싶다”고 한 발언을 인용, 그의 레알 마드리드행 가능성을 높게 점쳤다. 호날두 본인이 자신의 거취에 대해 밝히기는 이번이 처음. 그러나 호날두는 “내가 원한다고 결정되는 문제가 아니다. 레알 마드리드가 맨유에서 원하는 이적료를 지불해야 한다”는 단서를 달았으며 “유로2008이 끝난 뒤 다시 밝힐 것”이라고 전했다.

호날두는 특히 자신의 맨유 잔류를 설득하고자 스위스 뉴샤텔의 포르투갈대표팀 훈련캠프로 찾아간 퍼거슨 감독의 면담 요청을 거절한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 레알 마드리드는 호날두를 데려오기 위해 이적료로 세계 최고기록인 9000만 유로(약 1481억원)를 준비했으며 매 주마다 6억원씩을 주급으로 지급할 의향이 있는 것으로 알려졌다.

Ronaldo will not leave – Man Utd

I think Ronaldo won’t stay ManU, because, this year, he has achieved everything at ManU. He must be looking for a fresh challenge.

—————————————————————————-

Manchester United chief executive David Gill and manager Sir Alex Ferguson are united in their belief that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be leaving the club.

Ronaldo signed a five-year deal in 2007, but has regularly been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Gill told BBC Radio 5 Live: “He’s got four more years with us and we’re sure he’ll be with us for many years.

Asked whether Ronaldo would stay, Ferguson added: “If you want to put a bet on it, I’ll put a big bet on it.”

Referring to Ronaldo as “one of the best players in the world, if not the best,” Gill said he could not see any reason why the player would want to leave, or the club would want to sell him.

“He’s at a great club, winning trophies, and enjoys it immensely here, so why would he want to leave?” he said.

“We’re not a club that sells its main assets, to service our debts we need to have a very successful team on the pitch and you don’t achieve that by selling Cristiano Ronaldo.

“We’re keeping him. We’ve no intention of letting him go and will make sure he’s happy. He’s going nowhere.”

United’s accounts show they have debts of £764m, but Gill said there were no doubts about the club’s ability to manage and repay them.

“There are provisions in Uefa licences that deal with clubs being able to meet their obligations, you have to give forward-looking accounts for coming years to show you can meet them, which is quite right,” he said.

“Look at the debt in isolation and, yes, it’s a concern, but look at our income generation. Our revenue is well over £200m.

“Banks wouldn’t loan those sums unless they were fairly confident they’d get their money back and if we didn’t have a business plan which showed they’d get it back,” he said.

“In Manchester United, we have one of the best clubs in the world and we have a significant amount of income which can service those debts, so let’s not just look at one side (of the equation).”
