Ronaldo
Ronaldo has been one of the most important players of Real Madrid in recent years. However, the 'Phenomenon' did not say goodbye in the best way to the people of Santiago Bernabeu. Fabio Capello, former Real Madrid coach, facilitated the departure of the Brazilian and revealed the reasons.
"Ronaldo arrived at Real Madrid weighing 96 kilos and I asked him to lose around 88 or 90. But there was nothing to be done," confessed Fabio Capello to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport' during the gala night of the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
That was not the only reason for Fabio Capello to communicate to the Real Madrid board that he did not want the 'Phenomenon' in Real Madrid. "Ronaldo is the best player I have trained, but he was a negative leader for the locker room," he added to the Italian media.
For Fabio Capello, the situation of Real Madrid improved without Ronaldo. "He left on loan in January and the atmosphere in the locker room completely changed and we recovered nine points to Barcelona, although the media impact was enormous," concluded one of the candidates to replace Rafa Benitez.
