Cristiano Ronaldo walks out of an interview after the Real Madrid talisman is asked about the future of Sergio Ramos

• Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be eager for Real Madrid to keep Sergio Ramos
• He admitted in an interview 'he doesn't know' if Ramos will stay at the club
• Ronaldo then shook the interviewer's hand and promptly left the room

A furious Cristiano Ronaldo stormed out of an interview after being questioned on the future of Real Madrid team-mate Sergio Ramos.

Ronaldo's former club Manchester United had a £35million opening bid for the Spain defender rejected last week.

Ramos, who was upset at being undervalued by the La Liga giants over a contract stalemate, has told Bernabeu chiefs that he wants his situation resolved by this Friday before Real embark on their tour to Australia and China

The Portugal superstar, 30, immediately took off his microphone and headphones as the conversation was brought to an abrupt halt.

He did answer a question about former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard joining LA Galaxy - in which he described as 'fantastic' for American soccer fans - but proceeded to leave as he was ushered out of the room by his representatives.

Ronaldo, however, did not appear to be pleased with a suggestion that he was in fact irate by the manner of his interview being prematurely ended.

Speaking in his native Portuguese, Ronaldo was seemingly unhappy that he had been 'unfriendly' to the journalist questioning him.

'I am not insisting on anything, he is making me leave,' said Ronaldo, according to a translation from Goal.com.

'Do you want me to be unfriendly with this guy? You two are the ones who need to do this, man. This is making me look stupid in front of people.'

The 30-year-old shook the hand of the interviewer and said 'my friend, thank you very much' before departing.

Ronaldo is apparently keen for his close friend Ramos to stay at the Bernabeu this summer and believes that Real will be successful under new boss Rafa Benitez.

'I've never worked with him [Rafa Benitez], but he's a coach with a lot of experience. Let's see what happens,' Ronaldo said earlier in the interview.

'Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. It's always a challenge to be there for players and managers.

'I would love to work with him. And let's see if we can win some important titles. And I am quite confident of that.'

The best player on the planet, meanwhile, has revealed how his dedication in the gym has helped him reach the top of the game.

He was crowned FIFA's Ballon d'Or winner for a second year in succession, pipping rival Lionel Messi again to the top prize.

Ronaldo, who scored an incredible 66 goals in all competitions last season, insisted his hard work and dedication stems from the moment he was told as a 12-year-old boy that he was too skinny.

'You have to work so hard, I do this every day. This is why I have been at the top level for many, many years,' said the brawny superstar, speaking to a Nike Training promotional video.

'It's not by coincidence. I do so much extra work outside of the pitch. When I was 12 years old most of the people told me 'Cristiano you are a very talented player but you are too skinny'.

Ronaldo believes that the small margins make a huge difference when he is competing on the football pitch

'So I put it in my mind that my body can improve. With dedication and hard work in the gym I improved a lot on that - at the end of the day it's down to the person's mindset.

'Athleticism also means a huge lot - these small details make a huge difference to compare. So it's very important to do this work and it's going well with me.

'That's why I'm always in good shape all the year. I do that kind of work, because I have to. It's a part of me.'

Cristiano Ronaldo found my lost phone then took me and my friends for dinner, claims girl during Las Vegas trip

• Austin Woostenhulme says Cristiano Ronaldo found her lost phone
• Ronaldo then returned it before taking her and friends out to dinner
• Real Madrid star was on holiday in Las Vegas over the weekend

Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying his summer break. While the Real Madrid star was holidaying in Las Vegas over the weekend, a story emerged about the lengths he will go to return a phone to its owner.

Austin Woolstenhulme, the lucky girl who claims she had her phone found by Ronaldo, wrote on Instagram: 'Bad news is I lost my phone two days ago. Good news is Cristiano Ronaldo found it. Better news is he took us to dinner last night.'

And the pictures which surfaced on social media suggest that is exactly what Ronaldo did with his weekend in the US party capital.



It was something of a whistle-stop tour for Ronaldo, however, who was next seen in Tokyo on Tuesday promoting a new fitness product.

He appeared on stage in Japan with the new 'Body Revolution Project' before embracing a delighted-looking female fan.

Ronaldo is soon set to join up with Real for their pre-season tour, where they face Roma and Manchester City in Australia, before then heading back to the Far East to face both Milan clubs in China.

He will be hoping to shake off the disappointment of an underwhelming 2014-15 campaign, where Real missed out on the La Liga title and fell to Juventus in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Ceravolo: Juventus Memang Nyaris Dapatkan Ronaldo

Bola.net - Mantan direktur Juventus, Franco Ceravolo mengakui bahwa Bianconeri memang nyaris mendapatkan Cristiano Ronaldo dari Sporting Lisbon sebelum akhirnya bergabung ke Manchester United.

Sebelumnya kabar Juventus nyaris mendatangkan Ronaldo telah terungkap setelah mantan juru transfer Juventus, Luciano Moggi mengungkapkan hal itu. Saat itu, Moggi mengaku kegagalan transfer Ronaldo ke Turin karena Marcelo Salas enggan bergabung dengan Sporting Lisbon sebagai bagian dari kesepakatan.

"Kami sudah sepakat dengan Sporting untuk menukar Marcelo Salas dengan Cristiano Ronaldo. Salas sudah berangkat ke Portugal namun kemudian memilih mundur dan bergabung dengan River Plate. Saat itulah Manchester United datang dengan tawaran yang tak bisa kami saingi. Kami harus mengakhiri ketertarikan kami terhadap Ronaldo," ungkap Moggi kepada Sphere Sports pada 2013 silam.

Dan pernyataan Moggi tersebut dibenarkan oleh mantan direktur Juventus, Franco Ceravolo. Sama seperti Moggi, Ceravolo juga menyebut bahwa Salas-lah yang membuat transfer Ronaldo tersebut gagal terwujud.

"Saya ingin mendatangkan Cristiano Ronaldo untuk Juventus, kami dekat untuk mencapai kata sepakat. Itu semua telah selesai, tapi Marcelo Salas menolak bergabung dengan Sporting Lisbon," ucapnya.

Ronaldo sendiri akhirnya bergabung dengan Manchester United dengan biaya 12,24 juta poundsterling pada 2003 lalu.

Tur Amerika Serikat, Cristiano Ronaldo Muncul di Bus MU

Sebuah kejutan kecil muncul kala gambar bus yang akan ditumpangi Manchester United selama menjalani tur pra-musim di Amerika Serikat muncul di Internet belum lama ini.

Di sisi bus berwarna merah tersebut, terdapat gambar Cristiano Ronaldo, mantan bintang MU yang pindah ke Real Madrid di tahun 2009 silam. Hal tersebut lantas menimbulkan tanda tanya. Apalagi belakangan muncul banyak spekulasi mengenai usaha Setan Merah untuk memulangkan kembali CR7 ke Old Trafford.

Namun menurut pihak penyelenggara turnamen, kemunculan Ronaldo di bus MU merupakan bagian dari penghormatan yang diberikan oleh klub pada barisan legenda mereka, sebagaimana dilansir oleh Sport. Pemain asal Portugal itu ditampilkan bersama dengan sosok top lain seperti Jaap Stam, George Best, Roy Keane, dan David Beckham.

Ronaldo sendiri kini tengah berada di Australia. Ia fokus mengikuti latihan pra-musim bersama Madrid, yang akan menjajal kemampuan Manchester City dan AS Roma di International Champions Cup.

Man United Ingin Manfaatkan Situasi Ronaldo di Madrid

Bola.net - Cristiano Ronaldo dikabarkan kurang puas dengan kinerja para petinggi Real Madrid dalam beberapa bulan terakhir. Ada banyak keputusan klub yang tidak sesuai dengan keinginan Ronaldo.

Yang paling utama adalah pemecatan Carlo Ancelotti untuk digantikan dengan Rafael Benitez. Ronaldo sebelumnya sudah menegaskan sikapnya yang mendukung agar Ancelotti dipertahankan. Namun Florentino Perez tetap saja memecat Ancelotti.

Ronaldo juga nampak kurang akrab dengan Benitez. Belakangan ia malah sempat marah-marah kepada sang pelatih dalam sesi latihan Madrid. Situasi itu coba dimanfaatkan Manchester United untuk membawa kembali Ronaldo ke Old Trafford, demikian menurut laporan Manchester Evening News.

United pun siap mengeluarkan uang dalam jumlah besar untuk membawa kembali Ronaldo. Mereka yakin akan bisa memulangkan Ronaldo ke Manchester.

United memang belum puas belanja meski sudah mendatangkan empat nama besar musim panas ini. Sebelumnya The Red Devils sudah mendapatkan Memphis Depay, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin dan Matteo Darmian.

Manchester United dikabarkan tengah siaga usai mereka mengetahui Cristiano Ronaldo berada dalam situasi negatif di Real Madrid.

Eks penggawa Setan Merah tersebut pergi dari Old Trafford untuk menuju Bernabeu dengan rekor transfer 80 juta poundsterling di tahun 2009 silam.

Namun tim Inggris kabarnya sudah berulang kali menimbang keinginan untuk mendatangkan bintang Portugal kembali ke Manchester.

The Sun lantas mengklaim bahwa klub tengah mengawasi situasi Ronaldo dan akan mengajukan tawaran resmi jika mereka sudah mendapatkan lampu hijau dari pemain yang bersangkutan.

Ronaldo belakangan disebut tengah gerah berada di Madrid, usai ia tidak setuju dengan penunjukan Rafael Benitez sebagai pelatih, pasca pemecatan Carlo Ancelotti.

Forlan: Ronaldo Adalah Pemain Cerdas dan Berdedikasi

Belum lama ini, mantan striker Manchester United, Diego Forlan, menulis di sebuah kolom salah satu harian sepakbola internasional, The National. Dalam tulisannya tersebut, ia mengatakan jika Cristiano Ronaldo adalah pemain yang cerdas.

"Ia (Ronaldo) adalah pemain cerdas dan berdedikasi. Sering saat latihan, saya dan ia melakukan latihan tambahan di sesi latihan pembuka di Carrington," ujarnya dalam tulisan tersebut.

"Ia bukanlah pemain yang perlu dibentuk, ia pemain bertalenta yang dipercaya menjadi senjata United agar lebih baik," imbuh pria 36 tahun itu.

Lebih lanjut, dalam tulisannya, ia mengatakan jika Ronaldo kerap mempelajari trik baru yang ia dapat dari sesi latihan. "Jika ia melihat pemain lain melakukan trik yang tidak ia ketahui, ia akan langsung belajar sendiri kemudian menunjukkannya kepada para pemain di hari selanjutnya," tandas Forlan.

Baik Forlan dan Ronaldo pernah bersama-sama satu tim di Old Trafford, namun sayangnya tidak lama setelah kedatangan Ronaldo dari Porto di tahun 2004 silam, Forlan dijual oleh Sir Alex Ferguson karena memiliki konflik dengan mantan punggawa tim nasional Uruguay itu. Sementara itu, Ronaldo hijrah ke Real Madrid pada tahun 2009 dengan bandrol fantastis, yakni 80 juta Pounds.

Kini, pemain yang pernah berkostum Inter Milan dan Atletico Madrid tersebut bermain untuk klub lokal Uruguay, Penarol.

Van Gaal: Saya Tak Bisa Komentari Transfer Ronaldo

Bos Manchester United, Louis van Gaal, menolak bicara mengenai isu transfer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Setan Merah kabarnya ingin memecahkan rekor transfer Inggris untuk mendatangkan bintang Portugal. Namun ketika ditanya mengenai rencana ini, Van Gaal memilih menghindar dan memberikan jawaban mengambang.

"Ronaldo ke United? Saya tidak pernah menjawab pertanyaan seperti itu karena saya memang tidak bisa menjawabnya. Saya ingin melakukannya, namun itu takkan bagus untuk United, sang pemain, dan juga saya," tutur Van Gaal pada Daily Star.

"Setiap kata yang saya ucapkan untuk seorang pemain adalah kata-kata yang sebenarnya tak perlu diucapkan. Saya sudah banyak membaca laporan mengenai pemain yang akan dibeli Manchester United, namun tak semuanya benar. Dan sekali lagi, saya tak harusnya mengatakan ini," pungkasnya.

Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT one of our targets, reveals Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal... as they close on Barcelona's Pedro

* Louis van Gaal confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is not a transfer target
* The Real Madrid star is unsettled after the arrival of Rafa Benitez
* Angel di Maria is close to completing a move to French side PSG
* United are also thought to be closing on Barcelona winger Pedro

Louis van Gaal has revealed Manchester United are still in the hunt for one more star attacking player but has ruled out an Old Trafford return for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese forward spent six years at the club under Sir Alex Ferguson before moving to Real Madrid for £80million in 2009.

And he has been linked with a move back to the Barclays Premier League in light of his apparent differences with new Bernabeu boss Rafa Benitez.


Cristiano Ronaldo is not a target for Manchester United this summer, according to Louis van Gaal

United manager Van Gaal said: 'Barcelona has [Lione] Messi, Neymar and [Luis]Suarez. We have to look also for that kind of player.'

United fans would love to see favourite Ronaldo back at the club but the Dutchman added: 'That’s not possible because you have the club, Ronaldo and then you have Manchester United and how much United want to spend.'

Meanwhile, United's record signing Angel di Maria is on the verge of joining Paris Saint-Germain after failing to join Van Gaal's squad in America as planned on Saturday.
Club sources will not reveal whether Di Maria had permission not to fly or whether he has effectively gone AWOL.

The Argentinian missed the friendly win over Barcelona and has not featured during pre-season after helping his country to the Copa America final in Chile.

United play Laurent Blanc's PSG on Wednesday in Chicago.

And the Frenchman said: 'There is a good possibility [he could sign] but there is nothing official.

'There is an anticipation he is going to come to the US but as to which jersey he is going to wear, we don't know yet.

'If he does make a change hopefully it will be for Paris Saint-Germain. Right now we have to wait because there are two big clubs out there in discussion.

'Of course PSG is out looking in terms of recruiting an offensive player, whether it is Di Maria or somebody else. Of course a coach would like to see somebody like him but there is nothing official at this moment.'

United are, however, believed to be close to agreeing a deal for Barcelona winger Pedro.

The 27-year-old Spaniard has a release clause of £22m which United are prepared to meet.

Pedro wants to be a first-team regular and must weigh up which club will offer him that opportunity.
