Though Cristiano Ronaldo believes that Real Madrid should have defeated Milan in midweek, he is urging his team-mates to continue thinking positively ahead of the weekend derby clash with Atletico Madrid.
‘CR7’ has been on red-hot form in La Primera Division in recent weeks and will hope to keep it up against los Colchoneros, though he can’t help feeling that better could have been achieved in the most recent Champions League encounter.
“The truth is that we could have earned a victory for what happened in 90 minutes,” he told Marca TV. “We could have won, but should have no regrets. Now we have to think positive. We have to take the positives because to win a point was also good.”
Ronaldo spoke of compatriot Jose Mourinho, who arrived at the Bernabeu in the summer, in high terms. “The coach is very good and has brought his experience to Real Madrid. I am sure that with ‘Mou’, we have more chances to win,” he confidently stated. “Of course the objective is the champions. A player of Real Madrid has to think of all that is possible.”
Looking to Sunday’s clash, the Portuguese said: “A derby is more than a game. We know it's a difficult game, hard, against a good team, but we play at home and it’s a must-win for Atletico.”
With 11 goals this season, the world’s most expensive player leads the way in the Pichichi standings and will hope to extend his advantage over Lionel Messi and the remainder of the pack over the coming weekend. google-site-verification: google1c6283143f17b2a0.html
