Ronaldo: It’s very tough to intimidate me

September 19, 2008

Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United winger, has told Chelsea players that they should forget about kicking him down to lumps when the two sides meet on Sunday.

Portuguese Star, who is referred as mercurial dazzler by most experts, made a long-awaited return for the Red Devils on the pitch against Spanish Club, Villarreal, in the Champions League.

He was a second half substitute for his side in what was a disappointing goalless draw for the European Champions.

He could have made an impactful return, but his header just fizzed wide of the Villarreal goal post. There is probability that the player is in shouting distance of starting in the massive face-off against the Blues on Sunday.

23-year-old player, whose stint in the Premier league has already spanned five years, cleared that he is already accustomed to rough nature of important games, especially when you’re the star of the opponent.

Ronaldo, PFA player of the year, even heated the ongoing explosive cauldron by challenging the London Club for employing rough tactics.

While speaking to The Sun, he said ‘I am sure that there will be attempts made for intimidating me on and off the field. But, they will soon find out that it’s very difficult to get on my nerves.’

‘I’ll not think of retaliating but get booted again, if such rough tactics are used by Chelsea. My toughness will be on show during the game.’

‘When it comes to payback, I’ll do in a way that I do best: By scoring Goals!’

Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, who yesterday said that his side was not intimidated by Ronaldo’s return, said that he was relieved after getting Terry back to tackle the forward men of Manchester United.
