Ronaldo tries to forget Real Madrid troubles
Ronaldo says he will put his Real Madrid troubles behind him when he turns out for Brazil in Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Peru. "Here, it is completely different to there," the striker told reporters after training with the world champions on Wednesday.
"Here, I've scored lots of goals, I'm the leading scorer in the World Cup qualifiers and I'm going to try and keep it that way," said Ronaldo, who has hit nine goals in the South American group to help Brazil into second place behind Argentina. "I'm going through a bad patch at the club because the goals aren't coming. I've created chances and played some good games but the supporters and the public want to see goals. "I hope that for Brazil I continue scoring and getting us wins."
GOAL DROUGHT Ronaldo has suffered a goal drought for Real in the last two months, has been substituted a number of times and was sent off in the 2-0 defeat by Juventus which put his side out of the Champions League. He apologised on Monday for throwing a plastic water bottle into the crowd after being verbally abused by fans during Real's 1-0 home win over Malaga the day before. The incident occurred when Ronaldo was substituted five minutes from time and he had to endure a barrage of whistles as he walked off the field. "It's difficult not to lose your temper when they offend your mother," he said. "But what really hurt was to have had three or four chances and not convert any of them. That hurt more than what happened afterwards. "I am what I am. I don't try to be better than anyone, to take anyone's place and, most of all, to push anyone aside. I just try to be the best at what I do, the best father, the best son, the best forward...."
