New Real Madrid signing Cristiano Ronaldo is confident of forging a good relationship with captain Raul. He said: "Raul is a great player, who has written himself into the history of the club.

"He has won everything in Madrid and continues to play very well as evidenced by the goals that he scored last season. It will be very good to play beside him."

Asked about his reputation off the field as a playboy, Ronaldo insisted: "I do not care what those people think of me because I know who I am and how I am.

"What they think of my life, I do not care because the only thing I care about is playing football, doing things right, having a great career at the right time. I am very happy with my life and my personality.

"I will not change anything."
