Ronaldo - O Fenômeno

Ronaldo has emotionally stated that he wants to return to the pitch and repay the debt he owes to the Rossoneri. Ronaldo injured himself in February and has been going through physiotherapy ever since. However, the speed of his recovery has been a surprise to everyone after Ronaldo ditched his crutches last week.

“Yes, I intend to play again because football is in my heart, it’s a passion and I will do everything possible to return to the field,” expressed Ronaldo.

“I do not know how things will go, but my desire is to return to play for Milan.

“The club, my companions, the doctors, all want me to do well.

“But we will have to see if I am still capable of being a player of Milan, I have to repay this debt to the club.”

Ronaldo’s recovery has been phenomenal as he is already walking without crutches. Many people, including Pele believed that Ronaldo’s career was over when he injured himself on February 13th against Livorno. However, his recovery is ahead of schedule and his physiotherapy is going exceptionally well.

“I am really happy with how things are going and because I don’t feel any pain now,” said Ronaldo.

Bruno Mazziotti expressed his delight with Ronaldo’s progress.

“We are working slowly but surely to get the best results possible. Ronaldo is increasing in confidence and taking a more independent approach,” said Mazziotti. “In the coming weeks we will start to work with weights.”

Ronaldo will visit Milanello next week and spend some time with his coach and team-mates. This will help boost his morale and keep him part of the team.

Ronaldo will visit Paris on the 3rd of April and then head to Madrid on the 6th of April to celebrate his sons birthday.

Ronaldo visited Milanello today to have lunch with his team-mates before the game with Sampdoria tonight. Ronaldo played an excellent match against Sampdoria a year ago and this time round will watch the game from the bench.

Ronaldo arrived at 12:20pm and at 12:30pm, Ronaldo was sitting down having lunch with his teammates. He looked in good spirit and has stayed close to the staff and team at Milan.

Ronaldo’s visit to Paris has been pushed back to the 3rd of April where he will see Dr Gérard Saillant and have an MRI and other tests done.
