Ronaldo ready for Roma

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that when manchester United last played Roma (in the 7-1 mauling last season) one of the Roma players practically begged him not to carry on trying to score goals!

Ronaldo, who marked a sublime display with two goals, said: "When we were 6-0 up, one of their players said 'don't do any more dribbles', almost begging.

"I won't reveal his name as these are comments brought about by the game."

Its not the only time he has been spoken to on the pitch - "Other players ask me to go to play on the opposite side and others don't show any humour when they make threats to my physical integrity.

"I know that they are merely trying to scare me. But these comments are worthless, for I keep playing in exactly the same way."

Ronaldo, who made the Roma revelations is his new book Moments, is in good form, having scored the winner in Saturday's Premier League match against Birmingham.

Yesterday he was more than happy playing football-volleyball with Nani!
