“The Real Reason Why I Left Real Madrid” – Cristiano Ronaldo Opens Up

-


Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken up about why he left Real Madrid after attaining the status of ‘legend’ at the club.
World famous footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has finally opened up on reason he decided to leave Spanish giant Real Madrid FC for Italian clubside Juventus.
Ronaldo said he sensed that the Spanish club’s president, Florentino Perez, no longer saw him as being “indispensable”.
“I felt within the club, especially from the president, that I was no longer considered in the same way as I was at the beginning,” Ronaldo said in an interview with France Football magazine.
“For the first four or five years, I felt like Cristiano Ronaldo. Less so after.
“The president looked at me in a way that suggested I was no longer indispensable, if you know what I mean. That is what made me think about leaving.”
The 33-year-old Portuguese superstar joined Juventus in a 100 million-euro ($115 million) deal in July, ending a glorious nine-year association with Real.
His last act with the Spanish club was to participate in them winning the Champions League for a third consecutive season by beating Liverpool in the final in May.
But Zinedine Zidane departed as coach in the wake of that game, something which Ronaldo admits confirmed to him that it might be time to move on.
“My decision to leave was not based on him going. That said, it was one of the little details that confirmed to me what I had been thinking about the situation at the club,” Ronaldo said.
He added that he would “deserve” to win the Ballon d’Or this year, and in doing so would pass Lionel Messi by taking the award for a sixth time.
The winner of the prize, awarded by France Football, will be announced in early December.
But while Ronaldo continues to enjoy great success on the field, scoring twice for Juventus at the weekend, he remains embroiled in off-pitch problems after being accused of rape in the United States.
A former American model Kathryn Mayorga, 34, of Las Vegas, accused Ronaldo in a 32-page complaint filed last month with a district court in Nevada, of raping her in June 2009, just before he joined Madrid from Manchester United.
“Of course this matter interferes with my life. I have a partner, four children, an ageing mother, sisters, a brother, a family with whom I am very close,” he told the magazine.
“That is without talking about my reputation, that of an exemplary person.
“Imagine what that is like to have someone say you are a rapist, or that you have this or that.
“I know who I am and what I did. The truth will come out. And the people who criticise me and who expose my life today, who make a song and dance about it, these people will see.”

PREMIER LEAGUE!! See The Arsenal Star That Is Preparing To Leave The Club After Refusing To Sign New Contract

Talks between Arsenal and midfielder Aaron Ramsey over a new contract have broken down. Ramsey’s existing deal expires on 30 June 2019 and the Gunners had been hopeful of tying up fresh terms. But negotiations have stopped and, barring an unlikely resumption, the 27-year-old will be sold in January or become a free agent next summer. As things stand, the Welshman will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from 1 January. Ramsey joined the Gunners in 2008 in a £4.8m move from hometown club Cardiff City. He is Arsenal’s longest-serving player and scored the winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 FA Cup finals. Ramsey was an 84th-minute substitute in the Gunners’ 3-1 defeat of Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

PREMIER LEAGUE!! Diego Costa Reveals Why He Regrets Joining Chelsea

Former Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has said that he never should have joined Chelsea. The former striker also threw a dig at Antonio Conte, the manager who exiled him before he moved to Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window in 2017. Costa spent four successful seasons in the Spanish capital before signing for Chelsea in 2014 for a transfer fee of £32million. In his four years at Stamford Bridge, Costa won two Premier League titles and the League Cup. His Chelsea career came to an acrimonious end last summer after being told by Conte via text message that he did not have a future at the club. “It was a very bad moment, but it wasn’t my fault,” Costa told Marca. “People said things, but time puts everything in its place; look where the coach is, look at Conte. “I was wrong going to Chelsea, because of their way of dealing with things. Cholo [Atletico coach Diego Simeone] is a direct coach, and when he doesn’t love you, it’s clear and he shows it. “At ...

Eden Hazard To Miss Chelsea’s Europa League Clash Against PAOK For This Reason

   Maurizio Sarri has left Eden Hazard out of Chelsea’s travelling 21-man squad for their Europa League group-stage opener at PAOK Salonika. The Belgian forward, 27, scored a hat-trick against Cardiff at the weekend but has not made the trip to Greece. However, the likes of Gary Cahill, Cesc Fabregas and Ethan Ampadu should all come into consideration. Wales midfielder Ampadu, 18, signed a new five-year contract with the Blues on Wednesday. Fabregas, 31, has not started a game for Chelsea since their Community Shield defeat by Manchester City. But the Spanish midfielder returned to training last week after struggling with a knee injury. England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek may also feature if he has recovered fully from a problem with his right tibia that kept him out against the Bluebirds. Chelsea Squad: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero, Marcin Bulka, Toni Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Pedro, Ruben Loftus...
