Fergie is wrong - Raul
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Raul believes Sir Alex Ferguson is wrong to say that Cristiano Ronaldo would be making a big mistake if he left Manchester United for Real Madrid.
Ronaldo has been strongly linked with a move to Real, but Ferguson is determined to fend off interest from Spain and has said ‘I honestly believe that going to Real Madrid would be the worst thing he could do.'
Real legend Raul has contradicted the Scot by saying the Portugal international would be a hit at El Santiago Bernabeu.
“Playing for Madrid is the best thing that can happen to anybody,” Raul told a press conference. “I’ve been playing here for 14 years and wouldn’t change it for anything.
“Every club would want [to sign] Ronaldo. He’s one of the best; one of the most surprising players there is in football today.”
Raul’s team-mate Wesley Sneijder has hinted Ronaldo joining would disrupt the dressing room atmosphere because of his high wages, but the Real legend does not share the same vision.
“I think we’ll keep the same ambiance whoever joins and earn what they earn,” he said. “This unity can’t be broken.”
Robinho’s future with Los Merengues is in doubt, but his captain has hailed the Brazilian.
“Robinho is a great player,” he added. “He’s improved a lot here.”
