I had an injury in my leg, and everybody was talking about that. I decided to cut my hair and leave the small thing there. I come to training, and everybody saw me with bad hair. Everybody was talking about the hair and forgot about the injury. I could stay more calm and relaxed and focused on my training.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers is a team with history, tradition.

Ronaldo

Zico was my idol. He was a very good player from Flamengo, and I was a Flamengo supporter from Rio de Janeiro. I was always looking for him and saying I want to be like him. He's my big hero.

Ronaldo

The national team is part of my life. I have an incredible history, of many conquests and also many defeats. But to play for Brazil, I have to have a club and play well. I'm not going to be picked on my past or because of my sponsor, as many have said.

Ronaldo

I assure you that you will find me as a lover of Castilla-Leon, Valladolid, and Real Valladolid.

Ronaldo

My best teammate was Roberto Carlos.

Ronaldo

I am tolerant. I want to understand other points of view.

Ronaldo

Teams are a collective expression.

Ronaldo

To go to a World Cup is a dream come true, and I can claim to have experienced that four times.

Ronaldo

Football is great because you always have another opportunity to change history.

Ronaldo

I'm only a little interested in politics. But I'm always on top of the news, both in Brazil and abroad.

Ronaldo

Like every Brazilian child, I always wanted to be a footballer.

Ronaldo

The best team I played in was the Brazilian one in 2002; we felt that we could always score. It was a team without any vanity - or individuals.

Ronaldo

I'm very uncomfortable, mainly with my belly.

Ronaldo

When people repeatedly hit me, I would feel a sense of unfairness.

Ronaldo

When I retired, I stopped playing because of my body, so much pain and injuries.

Ronaldo

Learning from Martin Sorrell will be perfect. I won't leave him alone, I'll be asking him questions the whole day, just like a striker. He's going to have to tell me everything.

Ronaldo

I think all great players set a target for themselves in their careers. Mine was to win a world title with Brazil, which I did twice.

Ronaldo

In Spain, the game's a lot more open. They score a lot more goals. They play football more. Here in Italy, they are much more concerned with tactics and strategy, and sometime we don't play football.

Ronaldo

It'd be best if Cristiano Ronaldo retired at Real Madrid and then worked at the club.
