Feliz Sabado! It’s our weekend wrap-up again, and first on the menu is Cristiano’s enthusiasm for playing dress-up… típicas! Earlier this week, your favourite Portuguese hunk (don’t try to deny this, grandmas!) launched his special CR7 collection, which features a series of his favourite white sneakers, the Nike5 Street Gato (“cat” in Spanish), specially-designed T-shirts in red, white and blue, a CR7 matchball and even shin-guards!
Seriously, we know of a couple of people who’d be thrilled to sleep in those CR7 shin-guards ….
“I like to look good all the time, I like to have good boots on, dress well. In England I had many comments in the dressing-room. Rio Ferdinand is a good dresser and would comment on my clothes. Most English players don’t dress very well so most at United would say I dressed the best. I do try hard though. I might open the wardrobe in the morning and stare for one hour before choosing. That’s just me though!” – Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo On Young players i.e. Neymar & Chicharito:
“They must be professional. They must listen to people more experienced than themselves because they are young and they don’t always know what is best in a match situation. I say work hard, be professional, respect your coach, your team-mates and respect your opponent. These are the best qualities for a player to possess”
ALBELDA : “WE CAN BEAT MADRID!”
Yes, we know what you’re thinking – Valencia have no chance against Madrid when they both meet this weekend. How dare you! David Albelda is confident they can do something… and perhaps, come away with one point. Vamos, Valencianos!
“The aim at Valencia is to improve ourselves every week. We have a young squad, so our position at the moment is praiseworthy. Madrid can be beaten, but it will be difficult. They are a more solid team now, shaped by their manager’s ideas and very strong”
And here’s Real’s Jose Callejon declaring his love and joy at playing for Los Blancos…
THEO WALCOTT’S ‘TWILIGHT’ DATE
Gotta love Melanie Slade’s eye make-up here (yes, the Sephora in all of you have been summoned) but surely, she must’ve dragged Theo Walcott out of the cinema halfway. Which straight, hegemonic, masculine, testosterone-powered man would actually sit through an entire Twilight film?
Anyway, the couple attended the premiere of the World’s Greatest film (broma, broma alert!) two days ago. Again, Theo Walcott is actually one of Arsenal’s more ‘properly serious, jokes aside’ kind of bloke, so white vampires and birthing scenes can’t be his cup of tea?!
MANCINI : “NO MORE TEVEZ, PLEASE!”
Roberto Mancini has had enough of all that Tevez drama… next, please!
