The famous author Led Zeppelin said: “Many dreams come true and some have silver linings, I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold.†These words are proving true for 24 year old Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo who signed the 80 million pound (€94 million; $131 million) deal with Real Madrid on July 6. Regarding his childhood dream Ronaldo said “I’m very happy to be here. I’ve achieved one of my dreams….For me, I have made my childhood dream a reality, which was nothing less than playing for Real Madrid.†All the soccer drills paid off-a dream come true indeed!
The celebrity started out as a youth player when at 18 years old Manchester United’s manager Alex Ferguson saw his potential leading Cristiano to signing his £12.24 million contract in 2003 becoming the first Portuguese player. He has played for Manchester united since then helping them gain their first Premier League title in four years in 2007 and in March 2008 captained United for the first time in his career. With all their soccer drills, Manchester won the Cup World Cup and Ronaldo was awarded the Silver Ball.  The star is also a player in the Portuguese national team having scored around 18 goals by 22 and is considered one of the highest rated scorer stars in the world.
Real Madrid has had their eyes on the star since 2006 and in June 2008 Ronaldo had expressed interest to join the team if the ‘price was right’. Manchester United filed a tampering complaint but no further action was taken and he confirmed his stay with United. Four years to date 80,000 Real Madrid fans gave him a warm welcome at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid surprising Ronaldo himself- “I didn’t expect a jam-packed stadium – this is truly impressive†he commented. Cristiano should be in for more
soccer drills but as President Florentino Perez said regarding Ronaldo’s fans: “They will ask of you the very best, but will also give you their all.”
Damian ready for UFC Middleweight?
Top UFC middleweight contender, Damian Maia will be putting on his
MMA gloves again as he feels he is ready to take up current UFC middleweight champion title holder Anderson Silva nicknamed ‘The spider’. Talking to Fighters magazine he said:
“I see myself ready to fight for the belt. I would go at Anderson and it would give him the chance of knocking me out or give me the opportunity to finish the fight. That’s what I expect. I’m not saying I will win, but I will fight to end the fight before the judge’s decision. I want to do an aggressive fight and expose myself more. The UFC were waiting on the result of Anderson-Thales match to see what to do with me. They told me they were planning to give me the chance in August but because of their performance the UFC decided not put Silva in a main event very soon. Then they matched me and Nate Marquardt to find out the next challenger for the belt.”
