So, Cristiano Ronaldo is out up to 4 weeks (which will include 6 matches with Real Madrid) with “an ankle”. I wish I knew what was really wrong with him, but when you’re 24 “an ankle” might just mean it hurts…who knows. I have some thoughts…if you’re Portuguese, a Real fan, or sensitive I might really tick you off:
Real Madrid spent the summer spending their money. REALLY spending their money. After forking over 136 Million Euros on Ronaldo and Kaka’ the boys in Madrid didn’t stop. They also acquired Karim Benzema in a move that could only compete with the New York Yankees.
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I think the club is trying to live up to the moniker “Los Galacticos” a bit too literally. Honestly, it’s early and even though Madrid is near the top of the Premier Division I’m not sure how long that will last. All the talent in the world can’t save you if your club is massively in debt, lacking at other positions because you spent some much money on just a few players, and you are reeling from not winning it all last season.
