Le joueur de Manchester United: Cristiano Ronaldo a admis qu'il n'était pas dans sa meilleure forme en ce moment et a révélé que son plus grand adversaire est un joueur d' Arsenal: Ashley Cole.
 
L' international portugais n'a que 1 but à son compteur depuis le début de la saison, un joli tir contre Southampton, mais auparavant il avait trouvé plusieurs fois la barre.
 
Le joueur a eu des petites vacances de Noël à Madeira pour recharger ses batteries après son programme chargé de cet été, mais a toujours fait le maximum depuis son retour malgré son rôle de remplaçant lors du match contre Aston Villa.
 
"Je l'accepte, car je ne suis pas bon en ce moment", a-t-il dit à MUTV, et il a rajouté: "Mais je reviendrai plus fort et je ferai le meilleur"
 
" Je ne suis qu'un étudiant. J'apprendrai toute ma vie."
 
" Evidemment je suis un peu frustré, mais je ne me sens pas chanceux cette saison. J'ai eu 7 ballons sur le poteau, et c'est frustrant. Je veux continuer à travailler dur pour l'équipe, et marquer aussi."
 
"J'ai dit que je marquerai 10 buts. Je pense que c'est possible, si la malchance s'en va. Si j'avais marqué les ballons qui ont touché le poteau j'y serais presque. Je peux encore faire ça."
 
Ronaldo voudrait jouer au centre mais est tout de même heureux d' être dans l'équipe Mancunienne et d'apprendre avec personnes comme Ryan Giggs et Roy Keane.
 
"Je n'ai pas de préférence: gauche, droite ou au centre. Je suis juste heureux de jouer, c'est évident."
 
"J'aime jouer derrière le centre vers l'avant mais ce style de jeu ne convient pas à United. J'aime jouer librement mais parfois le coach a d'autres qui peuvent le faire, et c'est lui qui décide."
 
"Jouer avec Ryan à United est fantastique, parce que comme la personne et le joueur, il est génial. Il m'a beaucoup aidé lors de mes premiers mois et c'est l'une des personnes que j'ai gardé comme une idole."
 
"Il est évident que c'est important de jouer avec Roy, la première année, il m'a beaucoup aidé. Il est notre capitaine, il est très fort. Nous avons tous du respect pour l'expérience qu'il a. Il est une personne spontanée, et parfois il est spontané quand on joue mal, mais c'est une bonne personne et un très important coéquipier."
 
Il a aussi parlé de Ashley Cole:
 
"Il y a beaucoup de bons défenseurs en Angleterre mais Ashley Cole est le plus difficile à passer."
 
"Au début, c'était difficile pour moi, mais, de nos jours, je suis là pour les supporters. Je sais plus ou moins m'adapté au système. Mais le seul problème est le temps!

Nicolas Anelka looks certain to leave Manchester City after boss Kevin Keegan admitted that the club would accept a substantial offer for the striker.
 
Keegan also conceded that he was hugely disappointed with the striker's attitude after he refused to be considered for selection against Arsenal.
 
Anelka is struggling with a back injury, but Keegan hinted that he expected the player to play through the pain barrier at Highbury - as did some of his team-mates.
 
However, the former Real Madrid hit-man made it clear he would not play and his stance seems to have been the final straw for Keegan.
 
The City chief has now confirmed he is ready to do business at the right price, and it has been claimed that Fenerbahce have joined Liverpool and Barcelona in the race for his signature.
 
"I don't think there is any doubt now that if someone comes in for Nicolas we would sell him and use the money to strengthen other parts of the team," Keegan stated.
 
"Everyone knows we still owe Paris Saint Germain £5 million for him, so a club have got to add a lot on to that figure and then we could talk."
 
Of the player's refusal to play against Arsenal, he continued: "At this point in time we need everybody fit.
 
"I put players out at Highbury who were not 100 percent fit but Nicolas was not one of those.
 
"He didn't even feel he could take a fitness test.
 
"I was a bit disappointed in that. But if he says he is hurting there is nothing I can do about it."
 
The Frenchman also looks set to sit out Saturday's FA Cup tie at Oldham, and could well have played his last game for the club.

Fernando Morientes could finally be on the verge of joining Liverpool with Real Madrid reportedly agreeing to a deal of around £7 million for the striker, along with goalkeeper Cesar.
 
Liverpool have reportedly upped their bid for Spanish international striker Morientes to around £6.5 million, and Real have finally agreed to allow him to leave.
 
New Real coach Wanderley Luxemburgo had dismissed the chance of Morientes moving to Anfield, but it now seems as though they have accepted his departure as they cannot guarantee him regular first team action.
 
Reds boss Rafa Benitez has now also turned his attention to Real's reserve goalkeeper Cesar, and he will be involved in the deal totalling around £7 million.
 
Cesar is unable to get near to the starting XI at El Santiago Bernabeu with Iker Casillas settled as the club's number one.
 
With Cesar's contract expiring at the end of the season, Real are ready to let him move to Anfield for a small fee.
 
Benitez had said that he wanted an experience keeper to add to his squad with Chris Kirkland set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
 
Cesar will now be joining Morientes on the trip to Merseyside as he finally seals his protracted move to Liverpool.
 
A number of other sides had thought to be on the trail of Morientes, with Newcastle and Monaco interested, but the Spaniard had set his heart on joining Benitez at Anfield.
 
Although new coach Luxemburgo had not wanted Morientes to leave, he was unable to offer him regular football and Real have finally decided that they will allow him to leave.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has again called for video technology to be introduced into the game.
 
The Old Trafford chief believes technology can aid match officials with key decisions in matches.
 
The Scot's call comes after The Red Devils were fortunate to earn a goalless home draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday evening.
 
Spurs were denied an obvious winning goal after United goalkeeper Roy Carroll fumbled Pedro Mendes's long-range lob over the line before clawing it out to safety.
 
Despite video footage clearly showing that Mendes had scored, linesman Rob Lewis had failed to see that the ball had crossed the line, thus denying Martin Jol's side a winning goal.
 
The incident has highlighted the issue regarding technology in the game and Ferguson believes the time has come for these changes to occur.
 
"I think football, for some reason, is buried in a rulebook. A hundred years of it," Ferguson told Sky Sports News.
 
"There's the issue about diminishing the referee's responsibility and control [with technology], which is nonsense. I think it would help referees.
 
"It would have taken away, on Tuesday, all the criticism the poor referee and linesman had to take because I don't think they had any chance of judging there, not from that angle."
 
Ferguson stressed that if a system of technology came into the game, it would have to be fool proof.
 
"Over the next few months, we are going to get a lot of hare-brained schemes and worldly ideas, with [micro]chips in balls and all the rest.
 
"What we have to have is a system that is fool proof because if it lets you down, then the argument will be to revert to the old system.
 
"I don't want that to halt any progress that is made because football should be about progress."
 
With United facing Conference club Exeter City in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, Ferguson says he will stick with fit players for their clash with The Grecians.
 
"When you have a lot of injuries, you have got to play players who are fit," Ferguson added.
 
"[Ryan] Giggs compounds the problem with his hamstring, so we have to make sure that the players who play tomorrow are fit. By Monday, we will have a clearer picture.
 
"[Louis] Saha, [Quinton] Fortune, and [John] O'Shea are back training, so we like to think we can involve them on Wednesday [against Chelsea in the Carling Cup] at some point, but we will know better on Monday."
