zhiwei messaged that ronaldo had been sold to real madrid for 80 million pounds on thursday. it came as a bit of a surprise to me as he had recently professed his loyalty to manu. well i guess everybody has a price and if he was going to go anyway, why not for a world record smashing fee. he is worth every penny. but well this post is dedicated to the teenager who made me love soccer again, after his 6 years at the team ive supported from young. sure he may not have had the kind of impact that would linger in memories in his first three seasons. he may not have won united titles in those years. but they were the foundation of what was to come. and what was to come took the breath of millions away. armed with a bag of tricks that david copperfield would have been proud of and lightning speed that was spoken of in the same breath as the bugatti veyron and donning the talismanic number 7 jersey won by manu greats such as bobby charlton, george best, eric cantona and david beckham, he brought a new life to the manchester united and to the barclays premier league. scoring a massive haul of 90 goals in his last three years in manu, he single handedly won manchester two premier league titles (06-07, 07-08), and a much coveted champions league title (07-08) while playing an important role that saw manchester united winning their third consecutive premier league title for the second time in history among a host of other trophies along with aiding in the campaign for a second Champions League title eventually losing out to Barcalona. he won all there is to be won, being crowned Football Writers' and PFA player of the year twice in a row, PFA young player of the year once, coming in third in the FIFA footballer of thee year award and finally is the current Ballon'D Or and the FIFA footballer of the year. he mastered the art of deadly free kicks that is arguably the best in the world along with the art of scoring scorchers from distances that stretched to even 40 yards out on a regular basis and he even had time to best George Best's record of 39 goals from a midfielder in one season with his own 42 goals a mere 4 goals from equally denis law's record from a striker's position. even with all his tantrums and divings as well as open courting of real madrid that eventually saw him depart for Spain, he will be missed by manu and by English football. so here's a farewell to one of the greatest players ever to grace a football pitch, and i would love to see two of the best players (ronaldo and kaka) in the world currently combine their talents in one team next season. i'll make every second count; 11:51 AM have been wanting to post for more than a week, especially about pre u sem. but just couldn't find the time to sit down and write how it was. but meeting them again yesterday made me realise how much i missed the carefree, no worries and big homely feeling that was a trademark of the five great days that the group had together. i hadn't look forward to it mainly because of my studies and certain other stuff. and on hindsight if i had not gone i probably could have done a bit more work. but hell, it was a blast i would never regret my decision to sign up for it. it was worth every minute and every second. i could not have asked for more. and i could spend the whole day describing and narrating the pure fun and unadulterated joy of the whole period and it would still do injustice to what it really was. but to all in my group, you guys already know the feelings and experience and i wouldnt have to say anymore. where we go from here is another story and chapter but i would never forget the memories that we had. (: i'll make every second count; 11:43 AM |
