Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Fifa World Player of the Year for 2008. Hes the first Premier League player to win the award. The other players in the running were Kaka, Torres and Messi.
He said: “It’s an overwhelming moment in my career and I’d like to dedicate this award to my family, friends and colleagues”.
He also said about his manager Sir Alex Ferguson and how important he has been in his career to make him the player he is: “It’s also true that the manager always has an important role to play. It was a great season for me and for my club and the coach was important for me because I learned a lot for him”. “His experience over so many years is of paramount importance – it’s a privilege to have such a great club manager”.”This is the climax of a fantastic era for me. I’m happy and proud about what has been done by my team and what we have won”. “I am lucky to be part of the history of a club like Manchester United.”
(I wonder with his saying climax is he thinking of leaving at the end of the season??)
