As Sport Express already reported the most expensive player in the world Ronaldo took part in the launching of Castrol Rankings – the new world rankings based on technical showing of the footballers in five top European leagues.
At the moment Thierry Henry tops the standing closely followed by Lionel Messi. As to Russians the best is Andrey Arshavin.
He is now number 25 but obviously will rise: the matter is that this is a rolling 12 month ranking and Arshavin as well as other our players went abroad not long ago.
"There are many talks now that Real needs a different coach," said the player. "But any debate is only opinions of particular people."
"I do not think it is right to join this argument. Players must work. And it is none of our business to discuss it."
"At the moment I am trying to get used to the central position. It is so unusual both for me and for others. After all I have played in the wing for so long."
"But I am sure in the nearest time we are going to improve. Give us half a year and believe me – we will create a wonderful team."
"Actually I do not see much difference between calm Manchester and boiling Madrid. I live in a quiet district where nothing really happens."
"And football is the same. As well as the attention from supporters and the press. And I like it."
"In physical aspect it is more difficult to play in England. There are more injuries there, punches, the players are more athletic. So it is more difficult to fight in England."
"Moreover referees do not usually stand up for players and not always give fouls. But nevertheless I like the English Premier League, the Spanish League and the English one are two best national championships of the world."
"Manchester United is a big team with or without me. They are always in the leaders. And now they advanced to the Champions League play-offs in advance. Manchester United does not depend on the names of the players that perform in it."
