Ronaldo At Real Madrid
UEFA Champions League – The main dish of matchday 3 was won by Real Madrid
Before the match between Real Madrid and AC Milan, Jose Mourinho sent a message to Massimo Allegri as a reminder of his resume that includes two Champions League titles, and later in the match he gave Allegri a coaching lesson of how this competition is played, as Madrid easily won 2-0.
Some people are born to win, and no matter how much more you want to dig for a more detailed explanation, the answer is as simple as that: winning is just part of their nature. Real Madrid’s coach, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, is one of these people that are born with a star that irradiates success to everyplace that they go, and that star now shines in the capital of Spain, for the delight of all Madrid fans. And as the winner that he is, his success isn’t digested by those who can’t simply admit that he is gifted, and instead tag him as an arrogant human being.
Mourinho has began the road to his third Champions League title –first one was in 2004 with Porto and the second one in 2009 with Inter- with the right Foot, winning 3 out of 3 games to occupy the first place of Group G, and is virtually classified for the knockout phase. In what was the first game of the season against a top team, the best version of his team finally appeared, after struggling during the early season to bring out the best from his players.
The game against AC Milan was quickly resolved by Real Madrid. In two minutes of inspiration -accompanied by a little bit of luck- Real Madrid tilted the balance to their favor. In minute 12 Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal of the game through a free-kick, with the complicity of the barrier –punctually Clarence Seedorf and Zlatan Ibrahimovic- that opened a gap where Ronaldo fired his shot on goal. One minute later –without even giving time for Milan to recover- Ronaldo gave an assist to Mesut Ozil –whose shot was deflected by defender Daniel Bonera-to put things 2-0, score that suffered no more changes throughout the rest of the game.
With his goal against Milan, Ronaldo has now reached the impressive sum of 40 goals in 45 games, averaging 0,88 goals per game. The good moment that the team enjoys has come along with Ronaldo’s improvement, as he has scored 7 goals so far this month. The striker attributes his team’s success to “the strategy that we practice with Mourinho is slowly beginning to work out. Nothing is casual, we have to keep on working”.
Real Madrid will be returning to activity in the UEFA Champions League until November 3rd, when they will be visiting AC Milan for the rematch on matchday 4. But this coming Saturday 23rd they will receive Racing from Santander for Week 8 of the Spain’s Liga BBVA, where they’re in first place product of the 17 points achieved in 7 games. They are also the only undefeated team of this competition, and shouldn’t find much resistance against Racing to keep on holding to that record.
