Cristiano Ronaldo Wants Out At Real Madrid! Top Five Potential Landing Places Author : Robert D. Cobb With multiple media reports from across the pond stating the four-time Ballon D’Or winner and European champion, Cristiano Ronaldo wanting out at Real Madrid due to tax evasion issues, the top player in soccer is about to hit the transfer market. Ronaldo, who was frequently voted as Forbes’ highest paid athlete in the world in terms of total earnings at $93 million for the year of 2017, will likely command a record fee in both transfer and weekly wages that will be a minimum of his then-record €94 million transfer from United to Los Blancos. Could he return to Old Trafford for an encore? Will he set his eyes on a new challenge in MLS or will he take his talents to Germany? Below are the top five potential landing places for the 32-year-old Portuguese superstar striker. Major League Soccer (MLS): First David Beckham, then Davis Villa, Kaka, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Theirry Henry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and now Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo? MLS has come a long way from his fledgling beginning in becoming one of the world’s hottest up-and-coming football leagues. 1 / 2 With such world-class players already over in America and former United teammate in Beckham set to debut his Miami expansion club soon, a player like Ronaldo in South Beach would be instant box-office for both MLS and Ronaldo. Manchester United: How would a Ronald-back-to-United return of one of the all-time great United heroes back to Old Trafford play out in Manchester? Rather well actually. If it’s not MLS that lures Ronaldo to the States, then the chants of “Glory, glory, Man United” and playing alongside old teammate in striker Wayne Rooney, former manager at Real Madrid—and current United boss—in Jose Mourinho. United also has young and talented playmakers in Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, the forementioned Ibrahimovic, Juan Mata and adding Ronaldo to a quality side managed by “The Special One” and with United’s resources, don’t be shocked if Ronaldo decides to channel his inner LeBron in going back “home”. Chelsea: The wild card for Ronaldo, the defending English champions swooping in on the Portuguese uber- star would be a case of overkill. Already loaded with the likes of Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and N’Golo Kante, plus the chance to throw a monkey wrench into a potential Ronaldo return to Old Trafford and having a very rich Russian owner who isn’t afraid to spend in Roman Abramovich, and the Lions could very well be a dark horse. Paris Saint-Germain: Like United and Chelsea, the reigning French champions have money to spend, and talent on the pitch to boot. Names like Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani, Thiago Motta and Julian Drexler along with the talent to challenge in the upcoming Champions League next year, PSG is a team to keep an eye on. Bayern Munich: Last but not least are the reigning German champions, who are facing the likely retirement of Dutch captain Arjen Robben. If the reports of Robben likely to retired are true, there is a big hole at Munich that someone of Ronaldo’s caliber can easily fill. Combine that with the existing talent in the form of Franck Ribery, Robert Lewanodowski, Jerome Boateng, Arturo Vidal and Thomas Muller as well as the prospect of conquering Bundesliga football the same manner that he ruled in England and Spain, don’t sleep on Bayern Munich. 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Madrid Close In
PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

Nel 1994 vive una breve parentesi sulla panchina della prima squadra, dopo l'esonero a marzo di Guidolin, ma non riesce ad evitare la retrocessione. Resta quindi nelle giovanili dell'Atalanta fino al 1997, quando passa al Lecce, da cui però si dimette nel febbraio 1998, dopo 18 gare. Seguono due stagioni al Verona, con una promozione in Serie A e un nono posto, quindi due anni con il Venezia, che porta subito in Serie A, ma nella massima serie viene esonerato dopo 5 partite.
