Ronaldo Unfazed By Taunts
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo insists he has no problem with being a terrace target, claiming taunts spur him on.[LNB]The winger regularly incurs the wrath of rival supporters but says he is unfazed by the abuse and insists he would never let it affect his game.[LNB]He also claims to be unperturbed by the rough treatment he sometimes receives from uncompromising defenders.[LNB]"I like people whistling and booing," Ronaldo told Zoo magazine.[LNB]"It's normal for fans to do that. There's nothing I can do and it doesn't matter anyway.[LNB]"I have to concentrate on the game, so I don't think about that sort of thing. [LNB]"On the pitch I'm a target, but it is difficult to avoid these things. I don't believe that people want to hurt me on purpose.[LNB]"In my experience, the game just doesn't happen that way. Truthfully, I've never had any serious problems."[LNB]For now, Ronaldo is more concerned with helping United rewrite the history books and claim an unprecedented quintuple.[LNB]"All the guys have to continue playing like we know we can," he said.[LNB]"But no, we can't relax. I know I don't like to. I've a long road ahead of me and I want to be in this position, winning awards and trophies while I can.[LNB]"Every game is important because if we win, it improves our confidence. I'm at a club that guarantees trophies and that makes me happy. When we compete for a cup, we know we can win it.[LNB]"Last year we did the double of Premier League and Champions League and this year we have a chance to win five.[LNB]"We're doing well in all competitions and it would be incredible if we could win them all. We have to continue working as we have been."[LNB]
