Ronaldo, aged 33, has recently signed a two years extension with his current club Corinthians and it seems that this years will be the last of his brilliant career. The former Brazilian superstar is considered one of the best strikers in the whole history of football.
Ronaldo who has won two “Ballon D’Or” and was named “Fifa Player Of The Year” three times participated with Brazil at four final tournaments where he managed to score 62 goals in 97 games.
Ronaldo is probably the only player who played for two rival clubs in two different countries. “Il Fenomeno” played during his career for Cruzeiro, PSV, Barcelona, Internazionale, Real Madrid, Milan and Corinthians.
His fantastic career was interrupted by three major injuries, two of them while he was playing for Internazionale and the last one when he was at Milan. The last one was thought to end his career but he still founded resources to recover.
In the last interview Ronaldo talked also about one of his last wish as a footbaleer, to be in the Brazil squad for World Cup 2010.

Bordeaux continues the good evolution
Posted on | January 12, 2010 | No Comments
Bordeaux is maintaining the good form that helped them winning the French championship last season.
Laurent Blanc side managed to interrupt the record for seven consecutive titles of their rivals Lyon.
Bordeaux continues to impress in League 1 but also in Champions League where teams like Juventus or Bayern failed to win. With the best defence in the league and one of the best attacks, Bordeaux are once again the favorites to the title. With nine points ahead and victories after victories, Laurent Blanc side want to show again that there are no candidates for them. The team average age is around 26 years and their star player is undoubtedly Yoann Gourcuff.
With 5 goals in 16 games the French midfielder is the ideal player for many coaches.
Lately achievements also propelled Blanc as a favorite to take over “Les Bleus”. French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes declared that Laurent Blanc is a very suitable candidate for the national team because he proved that both as a coach but also as a player.
