Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 1:12 am Post subject: CRISTIANO RONALDO IS GOING TO USE THE 7 OF FIGO Description: |
|
|
Today in Portuguese newspaper "A Bola" the new of Cristiano Ronaldo new number in the National Team was a shock to me....
I can't understand how the President of the Portuguese Federation said once that the numbers 7 (FIGO) and 10 (Rui Costa) will never be used again by another player is know given to Ronaldo! I accept that he's the best player at the moment but Figo will be always the one.
I send an e-mail to the Federation complaining and also to Jorge Caldeira, the fan that made an online Petition for the return of Figo to the National Team.
I'm going to do the same about his shirt and number, i hope that you all, as fans vote. I personally will be able and pleasure to give that Petition to Gilberto Madaíl the President of the Portuguese Federation!
Let's vote! |

I voted I hope Ronaldo himself refuse to wear the number 7, I know he admires Luis, and if he wears another number it would show a lot of respect towards Luis. |

I voted aswell. The problem is just that at international tournaments every team has the same amount of jersey numbers and Scolari has to give away the 7 again! Just like France has to give away the 10 again, which sucks for the legends. But I doubt we can do anything.
This is really breaking my heart.... _________________ Forza Inter!

Quote: | Scolari names Ronaldo captain of Portugal
LISBON: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo assumed former great Luis Figo’s role on Tuesday as he was handed his number 7 shirt and named captain by Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The 23-year-old Manchester United winger – scorer of 41 goals in all competitions this campaign – will attempt to achieve something Figo never managed, guiding the Portuguese to a major senior title, having lost 1-0 to Greece in the Euro 2004 final.
Ronaldo also wears the number 7 shirt at United, which has been previously worn by George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.
Ronaldo was chosen as captain over four players who previously captained the side – Nuno Gomes, Petit, Simao and Ricardo Carvalho – who are in the squad.
Portugal, who are currently training in the town of Viseu in central Portugal, are in Group A with co-hosts Switzerland, 2004 semi-finalists Czech Republic and 2002 World Cup semi-finalists Turkey. –

I hope Portugal dosen't win this year, that would be awful at the moment.
You know, this has happen with all of my favorites:
Raúl - 7 -> David Villa.
Zidane - 10 -> Have no idea.
Figo - 7 -> ?!&%(# _________________ Luis Figo : " Inter in my heart forever " |

That is why I dislike Ronaldo so much. Its very silly, but look how long people waited for the next "Maradona" or the next "Pele" and all. Even after Eusebio it was ages until Figo came.
The grew to legends and were missed. And now the season after Figo retires they alreayd replace him with such a great player.... imagine them winning the title in the summer? That would break my heart. _________________ Forza Inter!

yeah ronaldo is right now pretty much the worlds best player and i hate him aswell. i guess you either hate or love him. there is not much in between.
portugal have ronaldo, but they still have the same problem they had at the qualification, if you ask me, they have no leader. no real structure on the team. the players are all amazing and some of them are top in their leagues. but i doubt they work together as a team. 11 aweseome players that don´t like very well most of the time. sadly.
but i wish them luck as long as they lose to germany _________________

this decision is really very offensive for us, but i think it might be good for the national team
it means, they'll have new courage, they'll have new leader. Ronaldo will have to take upon himself everything, it will improve his character and behaviour
this will be very important and useful for the team
personally i feel so sad
it will not be easy for me to adapt myself _________________ GEORGIA MY LIFE, FOOTBALL MY PASSION, CUP MY GOAL...

I guess I am just very radical No worries. I think you are a true fan, for both Portugal and Figo. And don´t get me wrong, I am happy for the nation of Portugal, I am just also a bit scared for Figo, who made me support Portugal, because if Ronaldo will lead the team to the success that Figo and hos generation never had, he might end being "the leader of the golden generation who never won anything" while Ronaldo with all his little fangirls will bring Portugal the great glory with Figos seven on his back. That just hurts a bit.
But I agree with Dano, I want them to win games and beat some teams like Holland again! But my heart will be with Romania or Germany when they face each other.
Like you´re with Spain
Seeing Ronaldo with the captains band and Figos seven will just take a bit of time for me to really get used to it, thats all. I grew up with Figo *well and the 20 on his back LOL* and then now seeing all my heros stepping down or getting kicked out hurt. _________________ Forza Inter!
