la Máquina - Cristiano Ronaldo

"I'm happy for Messi, I'm happy for football," Ronaldo said Tuesday on the eve of Madrid's return leg at home in the last 16 of the Champions League against CSKA Moscow.

"I'm not sure if I'm capable of one day scoring five goals. I hope I can," said Ronaldo, who won the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008 but has since finished behind three-time winner Messi.

"I don't know if I'm more respected here now, but that's not what matters to me. I'm still the same person, with all my defects and virtues," Ronaldo said. "I only worry about myself and my team. Goals don't mean anything to me. To score or not doesn't mean anything to me."

Mourinho was also gracious about Messi, who is now only five goals away from matching Cesar Rodriguez's club record of 235.

"To score five goals is never easy," Mourinho said. "It was a nice night for him."

You can never know that for sure.

Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has declared that he has yet to reach his peak as a player.

The Portugal international has been an ever-present figure in Madrid's attack since his €94 million transfer from Manchester United in 2009, having so far scored 131 goals in 132 appearances for Los Blancos.


And despite entering his thirties in just three years' time, Ronaldo noted that there is still a lot more to come from him.

"I just hope I will keep seizing the moment year after year", he told TVI. "I have not yet reached the peak of my career.

"This is all just relative. Next year, I could be at a higher mental level and not score as many goals.

"Who I am today reflects all that I have been through. I have earned all that I have, because I have worked so much.

"Nothing has happened by chance. It was all effort, dedication and a bit of luck."

Ronaldo then stressed he is happy with life at the Santiago Bernabeu and guaranteed he will not leave the club if coach Jose Mourinho decides to embark on a new challenge.

"I want to have a great season and finish it in great style," he explained. "I want to continue at Madrid.

"I have three years left on my contract, let's see what the club want to do.

"Mourinho? I do not follow anyone, I always follow my own path and what I do is not based on friendships."

However, Ronaldo was full of praise for Mourinho, saying that his countryman is the best coach in the game.

"His titles speak for themselves," he noted. "He has won things wherever he has been. Not all coaches have the privilege to do what he has done.

"That is why I consider him the best. All great coaches need to succeed in different countries and he has done that.

"Many coaches are considered to be amongst the best and they could not succeed in different countries. I do not agree."

Portugal have been drawn in the 'Group of Death' for Euro 2012, along with Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, but Ronaldo refused rule out progression for the Seleccao.

"We need to have a winning ambition and mentality," the 27-year-old noted. "If we go with a losing mentality, we will not achieve anything.

"I think this will be a complicated group, but we have a good team and a good coach and we will have the support of our fans, which is an extra source of motivation.

"I am confident. We will have to go step by step. The group stage is complicated, but if we go through anything is possible."

At six years of age, Cristiano has made his first foray into the footballing world. His cousin Nuno plays for Andorinha and Cristiano has been to the ground a number of times with his father. Nuno invites him to come and see him play, and asks him if he would like to join one of the teams. Cristiano joins the practice and decides to give it a go.

Dolores and Dinis are happy with their youngest son’s decision – they have always loved football. Dinis and his older son Hugo are Benfica fans, while Dolores adores Luís Figo and Sporting Lisbon.

In the 1994-95 season, nine-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is awarded his first sporting licence, number 17,182, from the Funchal football association, and dons the light blue strip for Andorinha. It’s a local club with a long history, founded on 6 May 1925. The name Andorinha is Portuguese for a swallow, which according to legend derives from one particular footballer’s superb shot which was followed by the flight of a swallow.

Primary school teacher Francisco Afonso, who taught Cristiano’s sister Katia, has dedicated 25 years to coaching in the Madeira junior leagues. He was Ronaldo’s first coach and he has never forgotten the first time he saw him on the Andorinha pitch, age seven.


Getting his way | Cristiano fought hard for his move to Real Madrid

"Football was what Cristiano lived for," Afonso says. "He was fast, he was technically brilliant and he played equally well with his left and right foot. He was skinny but he was a head taller than other kids his age. He was undoubtedly extremely gifted – he had a natural talent that was in the genes. He was always chasing the ball, he wanted to be the one to finish the game. He was very focused, he worked equally hard regardless of where he was on the pitch. And whenever he couldn’t play or he missed a game he was devastated."

Club president Rui Santos tells a juicy anecdote about a match during the 1993-94 season: Andorinha versus Camacha, who at that time were one of the strongest teams on the island. At half-time Andorinha were losing 2-0 and "Ronaldo was so distraught that he was sobbing like a child who’s had his favourite toy confiscated. In the second half he came onto the pitch and scored two goals, leading the team to a 3-2 victory. He definitely did not like to lose. He wanted to win every time and when they lost he cried."


He was nicknamed 'cry-baby'. He cried and got angry very easily - if a team-mate didn't pass him the ball, if he or someone else missed a goal or a pass, or if the team team wasn't playing how he wanted


"That’s why he was nicknamed ‘cry-baby’," explains Dolores. "He cried and got angry very easily – if a team-mate didn’t pass him the ball, if he or someone else missed a goal or a pass, or if the team wasn’t playing how he wanted."

The other nickname he acquired was abelhinha, ‘little bee’, because he never stopped. Like a busy bee, he was always zig-zagging across the pitch.

"A footballer like Ronaldo doesn’t come along every day," adds Rui Santos. "And suddenly when he does, you realise he’s a superstar – different from all the other kids you’ve seen play."

Unfortunately Andorinha were one of the weakest teams in the league, and when they faced the likes of Maritimo, Camara de Lobos or Machico, the matches were something of a whitewash. Ronaldo didn’t want to play because he already knew they would lose. But his father would come home, cheer him up and persuade him to put his kit and boots on and join his team on the pitch.

Only the weak give up, he would say – and it was a lesson that little Ronaldo would never forget.
