Random bit o' Cristiano gushing

Jan 20, 2009 21:44

I finally got around to watching Cris's interview that was broadcast on MUTV around New Year's and I just have to squeal at him a bit. It's amazing how much he's grown since he first arrived at United. And not just in a physical or football sense, but in an emotional sense. And my Lord, his English. He just amazes me more and more everytime I hear ( Read more... )

I loved that interview too, he came across as so mature and well-spoken. It made me want to hug him ( ... )

See, alot of people say that (re: Real Madrid situation) but I have to ask what your expectations of Cristian was to begin with. Did you expect that he would be at OT forever? I never did. He's never been a Giggsy or Gaz or Scholesy, I always knew he'd end up playing in a country like Spain which is closer to what he knows: the culture, the weather, and literally closer to his family. Some people expected him to stay a United player forever, and that's why they were so upset with the whole transfer business this summer. And all I can say to that is that those people are going to continue to be disppointed now that the culture of football has changed: there will no longer be those legend players which stay at the same club their whole lives ( ... )

Maybe you're right, it was unreasonable to expect him to stay here forever. But it doesn't mean that it hurts any less. See, for me, he's the reason I started watching football. It sounds pathetic when I say that, but it's true. If I hadn't seen him at the World Cup, I would never have got into the game at all. He intrigued me then, and when I heard that he played for Man United, it was natural to start supporting them too. What I didn't expect was to fall so much in love with the team that he just become a side show instead of the centre of attraction. And now, just after two years of enjoying watching him, he wanted to go somewhere else? I couldn't accept that. I knew that there was no way on earth that I'd switch my loyalties, and I'd never be able to support him the same way if he played in any other jersey. That's why I want to see him at Old Trafford as long as possible ( ... )

Awww, I never knew that about you. Well I can understand how you'd feel hurt then. Those of us who have watched him since he first stepped foot at OT realize that he always wanted to go somewhere else, and it's just bad timing that you started liking United when you did (ie. When he's getting ready to leave.)

bless cris, although im not a huge fan of him noone can doubt his talent.

He's wonderful. Rival fans only see his behaviour on the pitch and not his personality and his caring attitude. But yes, he's definitely the most talented player around these days.

ETA: Talking about him being booed all the time away from home.
"This is normal for me now. If you don't boo to me, I'm all 'oh why you not boo to me?!'"
"It doesn't bother you at all?" "No, no. No. *shakes head*" ♥ ♥ ♥

That's funny. :) The first time I heard him talk, I was surprised at how deep his voice was.
