Ronaldo needs time to adapt to Spanish game


Cristiano Ronaldo says he will need time to adapt to the different style of the Spanish game, but is confident he can quickly match the Real Madrid fans' high expectations as he closes in on a world record £80m move to the Bernabeu. Having reportedly passed a medical over the weekend, the Portuguese star knows that even the FIFA World Player of the Year can struggle to adapt to new surroundings. Football in England is different, it is more physical. No matter how good you are it takes time to adapt to any type of football. I just hope I can get used to it as quickly as possible. Ronaldo is also aware of the weight of expectation that will come with his staggering transfer fee but he insists he is comfortable carrying the burden. Right now he is relaxing with his family to make sure he is fully rested mentally and physically for his arrival to Real Madrid. Ronaldo also expressed hope that the fans he was leaving behind in Manchester would understand and respect his decision to join Madrid.
