I feel like there's much too much opportunity for a lad like Ronaldo to get up to his shenanigans in sunny Madrid under the not so stern eye of Pellegrini. I can see the story unfolding already. Pellegrini drops Ronaldo after Ronaldo has a duffer in November and Ronaldo starts whinging to the press and to Perez, who fires Pellegrini by Christmas, installs a completely different character in charge who clashes with the squad players Pellegrini brought in, aka the defensive players. We see yet another Madrid clearout sale, Madrid get linked to every player to replace the outgoing players, but instead go out and use the money to buy Ribery. Ribery plays on the right and Ronaldo is asked to play on the left, Ronaldo refuses, Ribery gets moved on the left, Ribery goes to the French press and says that Ronaldo is unbearable as a team mate, he's fined by Perez for badmouthing Perez's golden boy and sold in the summer. Kaka has a decent season, but after several years of conceding more than they score and constant managerial changes leads to a very empty trophy cabinet, he issues a statement along the lines of "I came to Real Madrid to win trophies and I'm tired of coming second to Barca". The press have a field day, he's linked to every other big name club. Casillas has another crappy season being the only player in Real's defensive half of the pitch. Ronaldo ends up in the papers every other day with photos of him exiting nightclubs the night before a big game, he continues to prance around, but he has an enormous dip in form, but is delusional enough to think that he's still a world beater and has a temper tantrum when not nominated for World player of the year. He enjoys his stay in Madrid prancing around, doing tricks to entertain the crowd at the expense of winning trophies and when Perez loses office starts to feel miserable and releases press statements about how much he misses England.
Of course, I could be wrong...
