Ronaldo ready for jeers
-
Cristiano Ronaldo expects a fiery reception when United travel to face Charlton on Wednesday night.
At home to Fulham, the Portuguese winger endured a muted sample of the abuse he can expect from opposing fans this term after England's World Cup exit.
And Ronaldo is well aware that he will come in for far rougher rides at away games, starting with United's midweek trip to The Valley.
He told The Sun: "The away games are going to be more complicated but I'm staying calm."
Ronaldo has been a target for opposing fans throughout his United career, and he plans to cope with any increased abuse by simply concentrating on his football.
"In the home game (against Fulham) everything went well, it was relaxed, easy," he said.
"But I do know the next game will be a lot more complicated as it's the first away one. I'll try to put it out of my mind and do my best."
Team-mate John O'Shea, meanwhile, has backed Ronaldo to use the terrace taunts as inspiration.
"I think he is up to the test," he said. "I think he will thrive on it. I have no fears about him whatsoever.
"It has always been the case, some players have been targeted after certain things. It seems to spur them on. The more they boo him, the better it will be for us.
"Soon enough, people will realise it will be better to leave him alone, then, I am sure it will die off."

He truly was a jerk during the WC (IMO). But for United's sake, sure hope he pull thru all the taunts, and concentrated on his game. His performance during the Fulham game was a nice start, and it was indeed sporting to see him teaming up well with Rooney. Much like the making up between the German goalies Oliver Kahn and Lehmann

hopefully, he can mature from what happened and appreciate what MUFC fans did for him.. -

He could have kept his calm like Rooney always does and chipped the ball. The keeper is rushing out!Originally posted by dinky1409:Did you see his unbelievable screamer that rocked the crossbar?
All his freekicks on goal gone wasted. Every single one. I dunno why he's still taking them when it's obvious that he wouldn't score!
Cheers.

think ryan giggs takes better freekicks, dun he?? i remember beckham's. a freekick by beckham is as good as a penalty.

Yea, Giggs takes far better freekicks than Ronaldo.Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:think ryan giggs takes better freekicks, dun he?? i remember beckham's. a freekick by beckham is as good as a penalty.
Haha! Agree, but he doesn't score as frequent now at Real Madrid as when he was at United.
Cheers.

thats the reason why man utd sold him.

Actually i think it's a mistake. Why? Because he's worth so much in commercial value! Real Madrid actually got back the money they paid United for Beckham by selling their jerseys with Beckham's name and number!Originally posted by imprezaWRXSTi22B:thats the reason why man utd sold him.
And by doing so United won't be in debt now cos Glazer will not have the chance to purchase United.
Cheers.
