Manchester United were drawn to face Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan in the next round of the Champions League. As defending Champions, the pressure is on, particularly when considering no team has successfully defended their Champions League title.
Mourinho, who like those before and after him, couldn’t keep up with Sir Alex Ferguson, and in his last season, dropped out of the title race some time before the official end of the season.
Ronaldo fancies our chances against Mourinho’s new team though and is desperate to reach the final again.
“Inter are a strong team, with great players,” said Ronaldo. “But we are better than them and I strongly believe we will succeed in beating them. By knocking them out we can feel one step from the final.”
Jose Mourinho recently farcically claimed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a better player than Ronaldo, which our winger doesn’t appear to be too arsed about.
Ronaldo has won the FIFA World Player of the Year, as well as the European Player of the Year, scooping the trophies last year, the same season is lifted the European Cup. In contrast, Ibrahimovic was voted 16th in the World and 9th in Europe, never having won the Champions League.
“I respect everyone’s opinion,” he added. “But the trophies that matter are at my house, not Ibrahimovic’s.”
Touché!
Man Utd News 24/7
Touché!
Put your house on him to score against Inter, he’s going to ruin them!Ricardo Quaresma providing all the insight to his friend!!
Sub-plot too…. Rafael vs Maicon massive game for our Brazillian wonderkid!
Viva Ronaldo!!!!
ouch! here he goes moaning! Poor Jose!
Jose Mourinho could be the manager of Yoevil Town FC and he’d say Danny Schofield is a better player that Ronaldo.
Ibrahimovic is a great player, but so is Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov.
Ronaldo, for last season… is the best.
(Unrelated: Why is it that for years and years teams like Real Madrid have been spending ridiculous amounts of money on players and all of a sudden because City (and ENGLISH TEAM) are doing it, Platini vows to get them banned from Euro competitions.
Oh I just answered my own question. ENGLISH TEAM.)
Touché indeed.
Who gives a fuck to what Mr special one reckons????
i’m only interested in dumping them out of the C.L..
A nonchalant repost from the world and european player of the year, Jose always bigs his players up before important games, fair play having confidence in your players. Will be two very good legs, if we play as we have recently away from home in europe and out italian the italian team away from home, I’m 95% sure we will make it through.
What a response by Ronaldo, he couldn’t have made it sweeter if he posted crap through Mourinhos letterbox!
Well I wouldn’t say it’s that strange to say that Ibrahimovic is better than Ronaldo this season. Last season no doubt Ronaldo was a better player but if you look at a couple of Inter games you’ll see just how good Ibrahimovic is. Voted the best player in Serie A, he’s also alongside Kaka the best paid player in the world which indicates at what level he’s at. Since he left Sweden, having never played a full season in Sweden’s top league, he has won the league 6 out of 7 seasons in three different clubs. I’d say he’s a little better than Berbatov and one of the 10 best players in the world, without doubt the best player in Italy and you wouldn’t call it farcically if someone said that Kaka is better than Ronaldo right?
Mourinho is a right cunt. Fact.
Patrik is right – Zlatan is a terrific talent but he’s not ahead of Ronaldo so the trophies are in CR7′s house.
By the way, Ronaldo’s response is very calm, cool, and collected. The kid is very, very good at handling the media, too.
platini’s idea isn’t too bad tom…looking long-term it isn’t healthy for football to simply be at the mercy of billionaires…he was talking about doing a % of you earnings ratio for what you could spend which would suit the premier league more than most and might restore some moral fibre to football…it will never get through though, just like his ramblings about debt-ridden clubs which I do think is a bit cynical (probably because that would affect us)…Ibrahimovic…I don’t watch Italian football because it’s fuckin shocking, Beckham tearing up Serie A says it all…and I’ve not watched Ibrahimovic enough to make a substantive argument but I will anyway, every time I’ve seen him he’s been well below average (intls. and champs league), so world’s best player talk seems a bit premature but that’s Mourinho isn’t it…all this chatter will stop when we absolutely dominate them home and away, there is no comparison in quality and thankfully the Mourinho factor plus Inter being the best in Italy so they will have to attack will make all our players extra-motivated to win…we couldn’t have it better, counter-attacking and carving there average side open time after time…5-1 aggregate
i remember cr7 saying all the important trophies r in his hse. not in ibrahimovics-that i must hv missed.
platini is a cunt
Shakey Jakey,
I totally agree, I think the money in football is way over the top… I am obviously NOT going to be sympathising with City but I just pointed out the simple fact that it has been happening for years and now it’s an English club doing it they want to clamp down on it.
Either way, as long as United are United I do not care.
“I respect everyone’s opinion,” he added. “But the trophies that matter are at my house, not Ibrahimovic’s.””
PMSL !
I’m not Ronaldo’s biggest fan, but what Mourinho said about him a couple of years ago was below the belt. Any clever riposte from Ronaldo towards that cunt has my backing.
I like it… Carry on Mourinho…. at the end of the day, the more that is said about CR7, the more he likes it… its like a peverse way of cranking up his own game i think…
Its a good quality to have…
At the end of the day Ibramothersabitch aint a patch on CR7, and aint a patch on the 3 forwards that we have at OT either..
Ibramothersabitch, has never really proven himself, and never ever been consistent, where as CR7 scored 42 goals last season, won the league and european cup, world champion this year, world player, well i can go on on on on and on..
I think Morewhorethanho might have just boobed and done a fat spanish waiter gaff, as he has just deflected any pressure away from CR7 and our players, and heaped all the pressure on Ibramothersabitch to be better than the Worlds Best Player..
Crack on.. lol
I agree with Jake on this. Whenever I have seen the lanky cunt play he is way below average and not fit to lace Ronnies boots. As long as we play like we can I can really see us giving Maureens mob a torrid time.
Off post. It looks as though the rentboys season is as good as over. More dropped points at home and the fans booing and singing “You don’t know what your doing” . I love to see the southern fucks in decline. How lucky were the fuckin dippers? Had it on radio and you should have heard the commentator when ladyboy scored. Are we now going to have to endure the rat eaters coming on here and other blogs saying how “they are top of the league”. Enjoy it while it lasts you vermin.
Failsworth: “Ibramothersabitch” – nice one mate.
Fuckin dippers scraped a 3-2 against a team that has been depleted through sales, the manager is on the verge of being pushed off the plank, and aint had any good results in how long… yet… THE FAT SPANISH WAITER,,, will be saying that it is championship winning form.. lol bollox.
Its the same for Citeh, Hughes & co… will be mouthing off that they are on the up and going in the right direction,
Again, they played a team that is a load of twonk, and a manager that is embarassing..
Ive already had a blue nose say to me tonight telling me how they could have won 4-0 today… what a load of twonk again, coz i heard that shay given was in amazing form and stopped Alves scoring on 4 occassions…
Chelski fucked up… like i thought they would… but i tell ya sommat… Villa are creeping up… and they could really put some pressure on the dippers in the next 2 months… and the dippers wont like that one little bit..
As long as we do our job.. we will be fine…
Guys, right now, Ibrahimovic is in form and scoring great goals for Inter while Ronaldo is nowhere near his “best footballer of the world”‘s form. I think it is not Ronaldo who will make us win against Inter, it is again going to be our DEFENCE.
dave_pistol: “platini is a cunt” — TOTALLY AGREE. He can’t speak other than shit.
Ronaldo is starting to say the right things.
Ok, I just want to talk about facts, I know this is not my bizness as Loverpool manager, but I want to talk about jus the facts. First it iz a fact that Zhlatan iz much, very much taller than Cristiano, and there can be no doubt about that. Another point, and again, it is a fact, He earns more per week. I am certain that Sir Alex Ferguson has complained to the referees about this, as we already know. Well, it doesn’t matter, as you know , and this is a fact, Robby Keane was too good for our team. Sorry, I have moved from the topic, but I only want to say what iz a fact
Zlat is shat: Fact
DUDE! How fucking huge is that guy! he is dwarfing Ronaldo!
and an important fact, Ibrahimovich is 27, Ron is 24! The former probably has another five years of really good football in him, and then it will all be downhill from there. For CR7, he will be just reaching his peak in five years time! So, really, no comparison.
As much as i hate Mourinho, Ibrahimovic is awesome. I recommend everyone looks up a goal of his on youtube that he scored for ajax, where he dummies just about the entire team, then goes back and dumies them al again, just for fun. Seriously, i honestly dont think i’ve seen a better goal. I imagine if you search for ibrahimovic great goal it will be there. Get ready to drool.
Davetian, agreed – one of my favourite goals of all time, simply magnificent!
That said, he’s never been better than Ronnie for reasons of temperament. TNSSO does seem to have him playing better but I still think that our defence will be able to handle him.
I believe this tie is going to be a lot tougher than some of those on here seem to think…!
