Ronaldo is back in action after a series of injuries and has one
target in his sights – to win the Champions League with Milan.
“I have not yet won the Champions League, so I will do everything I can to
bring it back home with Milan.”
He is closing in on full fitness in the run-up to the second round showdown
with Arsenal, which would be his European debut in a Rossoneri jersey.
He was cup-tied due to his time with Real Madrid in last season’s triumphant
competition, while physical problems have prevented him from playing in the
Champions League, European Super Cup or Club World Cup this term.
The striker has barely set foot on the field this season due to recurring knee
and muscular injuries, but finally seems ready to make his mark against Siena
this weekend.
“This is going to be an important game. We are make up for lost ground after a
bad start and to win here would be crucial.”
The Rossoneri are now in fifth place with a game in hand after defeating top
four contenders Udinese and Fiorentina away from home in recent weeks.
However, they are without injured stars Alexandre Pato and Kaka – as well as
the suspended Alberto Gilardino – for the Siena encounter, so he could partner
Pippo Inzaghi.
“We had a few training sessions together and had a lot of fun. This season
when I was fit then he tended to be injured, and vice versa, but now we’re more
or less alright at the same time. If we do play alongside each other, we will
try to do very well,” he told Milan Channel.
“A year ago I was able to give my contribution, this year a little less. I am
disappointed at all the injuries I had in my career and think there were many
mistakes both from the medical staff and from me.
“Now I hope to get some consistency into my performances because being here at
Milan is wonderful and very motivating. I am determined to do well.”
