Real Madrid coach Mourinho insists Ronaldo in great form
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was pleased with Cristiano Ronaldo's form at Real Mallorca.
Ronaldo did not manage to get on the scoresheet as Madrid fought back from a goal down to win 2-1 on the Balearic Island but Mourinho was nevertheless delighted with the £80million man's all-round showing.
"Without playing well, he worked like an animal when the team needed it, he recovered possession, worked hard in defence. He was fantastic.
"I've told him that working like that, nobody can touch him. Working like that, he doesn't have to score goals, he doesn't have to be the man of the match.""I've spent a year-and-a-half with Cristiano, he's scored I don't know how many goals, I don't know how many hat-tricks, he's scored decisive goals, the title (Copa del Rey) that we won was with his goal. But for me the game I liked the most, and the one that I have felt happiest and most proud, was the second half against Mallorca," Mourinho said.

Screw you Gabriel and get a job you are most likely unemployed.
Tough not having any $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Sell Messi cheaper Growth Hormones which he pops like candy , you can be his drug dealer.
By the way Growth Hormones are illegal in the Olympics and should also be in La Liga.
Wouldn't surprise me if all of the cry babies from Barcelona are taking Growth Hormones.
Example Look at the face of Puyol he's nose is bigger than Messi's legs,
Alves who looks like he just got out of jail has no neck. Thats just a few of the examples.
Those drugs are bad news later on in life Messi will have a 3rd eye and his nose will match Puyol. Perhaps thats may stop him from spitting at players. A real class act.
Mike
or is there any one who can oppose it with explanation ?
barcelona is better than real madril so lets stop being sentiment.
