Club Football

Cristiano Ronaldo is the guy who charges the hopes of winning the Euro 2008 for the Portugal National Football Team. With his awesome speed and powerful kick and with great skill, Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world, making a great forward line in Manchester United with Wayne Rooney. Early in his career he was considered a troublemaker, but recently he’s grown up and is becoming one of the most respected players in the world. In 2007, he was chosen third best player in the world by FIFA and second best by France Football.

Sporting Lisbon In the 2002/2003 season, Ronaldo played 25 games for the club, scoring 3 goals. IN the inaugural match of the new José Alvalade stadium (Sporting’s stadium that was renovated for Euro 2004), Ronaldo played a terrific match against Manchester United. With this great performance, the United’s players asked Sir Alex Ferguson to sign the Portuguese guy to substitute for the superstar David Beckham on the team.

Manchester United In 2003, Ronaldo signed a contract with Manchester United, where he made United’s fans quickly forget David Beckham. With a great squad, Chelsea started it’s dynasty in England, winning the Premier League in that year. But Ronaldo was known as a great revelation with the jersey number 7. This number is magical for the Manchester side - three of the main legends in the history of the club had the number 7 in the back (George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham).

After a not so brilliant start, Ronaldo started little by little to honor the number 7. He scored goal number 1000 in Premiership for Manchester United in 2005. In 2006, he scored in the Carling Cup Final and helped to win the trophy. But it was finally last season the World could see what this Portuguese boy could do. Cristiano Ronaldo finally won a Premiership title with the Red Devils. Elected the best player in England on the 2006/2007 season, Cristiano Ronaldo was the “key” for the Manchester United’s championship after four years and finishing Chelsea’s dynasty. Besides, he took the United to the semis of UEFA Champions League, when a painful loss to Milan ended the dream of the third title of the League.

Along with Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo is part of one of the most deadly offensive lines in the world. 

International Football 

Portugal National Football Team Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for the Portuguese National Football Team in 2003, against Kazakhstan. But his great year was 2004. He played home the Euro 2004 and scored twice in their way to the final. Portugal lost to Greece but Cristiano Ronaldo appeared as a strong player. He went also for the Summer Olympic Games in Athens that year. Cristiano finished the FIFA World Cup 2006 qualifiers second highest scorer in the European zone, with 7 goals. In the World Cup, however, he didn’t play at his best although Portugal made the semifinals. He scored just once.

During the qualifiers for Euro 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 8 goals.
