Ronaldo Seeking More Individual Awards
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k211/small_carly/r7.jpg
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo regards winning individual awards as
important as winning honours with his team.
Portuguese midfield star Cristiano Ronaldo is targeting more personal accolades
this season.
The Manchester United winger won the Professional Footballers Association
Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards last season, as well
as the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.
And he is one of the nominees for this year’s World Player of the Year accolade.
Ronaldo, 22, told The Sun: "Of course I want to win more trophies and individual
awards — for me, that is very important.
"I try to improve every year and I’m not the same player I was three years ago. I
think I’m a better player now, more mature.
"I understand the game more, I'm more consistent and my team-mates have
helped me a lot.
"I like to watch myself on video after the game to see what I do well and what I
do badly — and this is making me a stronger and better player."
Ronaldo's goals were a key factor in United's Premier League title triumph last
season. Speaking at the launch of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 game,
Ronaldo said: "I just want to score more goals than last year. It’s always
important to score as it’s good for your confidence and good for the team.
"But it’s important as well to be part of the team, to help the side with assists
and good passes and that is what I try to do every game."
Ronaldo said he expects Chelsea to challenge for the title, although he admitted
that compatriot Jose Mourinho's departure surprised him.
"Mourinho is a great coach, a great manager and a good man and I think the
English people like him because his style is different, his personality is different,"
said the United star.
"The Premier League has changed a little bit without him but Chelsea will be OK,
they’re playing well."
As far as the managerial succession at Old Trafford is concerned, Ronaldo
said: "Alex Ferguson is the face of Manchester United. He’s done a fantastic
job — he’s been in charge 21 years and he's a great man who everyone
respects.
"He’s a great, warm-hearted person. Nobody knows what the future holds but I
hope the boss stays at Manchester United for many years."
