Soon after the match, Ronaldo himself spoke to the press that he felt sad, and that the club knew the reason behinds it.

So, what is the reason exactly ? Since the match came later after Andres Iniesta crowned as UEFA best footballer, the press quickly accused him for getting disappointed for not winning the title. But then they find out that the previous meeting between Ronaldo and president Florentino Perez have caused all his problem. And that was when money talks…

Since 2009, Ronaldo pocketed €10 million per year. Minus the 23% tax, he still received €7,7 million. The actual tax income in Spain is 45 %, but since David Beckham’s law, then the 22% rest of the tax are paid by the club. Which means, every year, Real Madrid have to pay €15,5 million for Ronaldo’s salary plus taxes. And to make it worse, in a certain amount of salary, the tax could increase into 52%.

Since Ronaldo wished to renew the contract with Real Madrid (his contract will ends in 2015), he asked for a raise, and that’s when the number of €31,5 million came out. With that kind of money, Ronaldo expected to receive a clean €15 million per year. Unfortunately,  it is doubtedly that the club will pay for that kind of money in a year just for 1 player.

The option for Real Madrid is not to renew the contract with Ronaldo, which mean they only pay for €10 million or €15,5 million plus tax until his contract ends in 2015. The bad part is that in 3 years, Ronaldo can leave the club free of charge. But still,  this way they will save around €45 million, with the asumption of €15 million extra tax per year.

Of course, if Madrid rejects Ronaldo’s offer for a raise, then no wonder that the Portuguese star felt unwanted. However, Ronaldo proved that he is a professional player, and that the personal problem won’t disrupt his performance on the pitch by scoring 2 goals.

The question is, will Real Madrid change their mind and grant Ronaldo’s wish for a raise ? Is he really worth the price ? With all his goals and his achievements for the club, then yes, I think he is worth it. Come on, lets face the fact that Ronaldo is the best player in the world right now, but he only came on the 6th list for the highest paid footballer. Here are the list :

1. Samuel Eto’o                            €20 million

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic              €14,5 million

3. Wayne Rooney                       €12,3 million

4. Didier Drogba                         €12 million

5. Lionel Messi                            €10,5 million

6. Cristiano Ronaldo                €10 million

By the list above, even Ibrahimovic gets bigger money, and he’s no wizard in football, imo…. So, is it wrong for Ronaldo to ask for more money ? Does it mean he’s greedy ? Nope, he’s just asking for the salary that he deserves.

But don’t worry, they only wanted for an actor in Jones new movie project called “Escape to Victory”, a remake of clasic war movie.

It wasn’t their first time to act, since they have been doing it before, in a commercial. Jones believes that the ‘players’ will bring the movie into a hit.

“It wasn’t the best movie ever but was tremendously popular and is a cult classic. A version with today’s top players would be a guaranteed smash hit.”

On his films, Vinnie said there were lots of players potentially for the parts in the project.
“It’s a three-year process, minimum. We’ve got stuff going on. We’re trying to produce a remake of ‘Escape to Victory’ – we’ve got a lot of players involved but it takes a while to get things going here.”

Will they interested in taking the parts ? Who knows…..but I definitely would like to see Cris and David shirtless, cover in muds, and escaping from German prison camp on a World War II setting.

Wayne Rooney is indeed not the most prettiest footballer ever, but being crowned as the Worst Smile is never comes to mind. His smile is even worse than Ronaldinho, the AC Milan Striker that has a famous goofy smile. Also the least expected that would appear on the list is John Terry, the former England captain. His reputation as a womanizer apparently hasn’t help him to be off the list.

While the England beauty Cheryl Cole makes it to number one as the Best WAG Smile. Despite her marriage is on the loose, she still manage to keep her perfectly sexy smile. Victoria Beckham, unlike her husband, she is last on the list. Can’t complain though with that fake botox smile on her petite face.

The ex-England captain is expected to miss the 2010 World Cup with five months on the sidelines.

Now as anguish surrounds him, illustrious football personalities have sent him kind messages in support. Cristiano Ronaldo was also part of those.

According to Tribalfootball.com, the Real Madrid star who is sometimes referred as David Beckham’s “tracker” phoned the English man.

Beckham underwent Achilles surgery on Tuesday night and he is expected to return to London for rehabilitation.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s message might help him carry on.

Having won a multitude of individual and collective awards, Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded among the worldâ€s top footballers.

Now his influence and potential can also be seen on the market, in terms of business.

C. Ronaldo is often being portrayed as they guy walking in David Beckhamâ€s footsteps; succeeding the English man with the number 7 jersey at Manchester United, switching from Old Trafford to the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, dating one of David Beckhamâ€s former girlfriends Nuria Bermudez…

Well, the list is longer than that but those facts are just examples underlining or rather explaining why most people see a bit of David Beckham in Cristiano Ronaldo.

Recently too, or back in October to be more precised, C. Ronaldo officially became a product of Armani – one of the worldâ€s most popular fashion designer.

This saw Cristiano Ronaldo succeeding David Beckham again in the fashion industry; the Portuguese superstar would be advertising Armani jeans and underwear early this year.

Pepe Jeans, Nike, Coca-cola, Extra Joss, and FIFA Street 2 adverts have let Cristiano Ronaldo become footballâ€s top advertising icon.

The € 94 million signing is reported to generate around € 80 million each year in advertising revenues. C. Ronaldo is now Real Madridâ€s most profitable player ever, something which will encourage Los Blancos†president Florentino Perez a lot.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo rejected a € 3 million offer which was meant to endorse a property development.

The reason behind Ronaldoâ€s refusal to reach an agreement was because the photo shooting interfered with Real Madrid training.

Still, C. Ronaldoâ€s personal endorsements are believed to generate up to £ 70 millions every year.

Now thatâ€s not all!

The 2008 Ballon dâ€Or winner is set to surpass David Beckhamâ€s influence in the United States and thus crack the countryâ€s market.

Speaking to the media late in December, Chubby Chandler who is the Sport Management groupâ€s director, declared:

“Cristiano has unique qualities. He has the look of a ‘Latino Beckham†and he will succeed in the U.S, where he can make big profits.

“He has no limit. In the coming years, he could earn more than 200 million USD in advertising… and that is being conservative in my estimation.”

These are unbelievable numbers but if reports are true, then they really explain one thing:

Cristiano Ronaldo, the grown kid of Madeira, is a flying rocket on the pitch like on the market.

I wasn’t surprised to see Cristiano Ronaldo winning in the polls but the margin was so large that I began to ask myself whether some of you had voted out of Ronaldomania instead of sincerity.

Anyways, now is the time to judge who is supposed to be described as the most glamorous footballer on the planet.

Where will you guys rank Cristiano Ronaldo among other attractive personalities like David Beckham, Kaka, or Torres?

Remember the look of Kaka in his Armani suits and jeans, Torres with his distinctive hairstyle, Drogba with his long relaxed hair and caps, or even Ronaldinho with his sunglasses and his jewels…

Well, all these clues were statements made by Pepe ‘The Wizard†to describe the woman who hired him to put a curse on the worldâ€s most expensive signing, Cristiano Ronaldo.

“PARIS HILTON”;

This name instantly came into peopleâ€s mind and out of their mouth.

After a couple of weeks filled with debates around this issue, Paris Hilton somehow confirmed herself as the person behind Ronaldoâ€s curse.

In the German edition of celebrity gossip magazine Life & Style, Paris Hilton was quoted as saying:

“I cannot stand it when someone is mean. I want a man anyway. Not someone who runs about like a little girl.”

“He is a wimp!”

There is a sense that Paris Hilton has a lot of hatred against Ronaldo, probably because their relationship didnâ€t grow until marriage to emulate Victoria and David Beckham.

Could it be that she is really the one who asked Pepe The Wizard to put a curse on Ronaldo?

Well, perhaps Paris Hilton is just profiting of this story to be in the limelight once again…
