Real Madrid hit somewhat of a slump in the past few seasons, only winning La Liga which by their own high standards is very poor. A lot of this failure has been blamed on the club president's own theory - the 'Galacticos' regime, in which they only signed the super stars of world football.

The regime saw the likes of Ronaldo, Zidane, Owen, Beckham, Figo, all playing for the Madrid team. Though this was quite fruitful, they never really gained the success that the club was aiming for - and eventually weaknesses were exploited in the team. The club had no real 'backbone', with far too many big name players and not enough hard-working and committed team players.

Defensively the club were quite poor due to the unbalance in the squad - too much of an emphasis on attacking talents, and not enough on defensive graft. The team were leaking goals, and couldn't always score enough to overcome the deficit.It has recently been revealed by the club's technical secretary, Miguel Angel Portugal, that the club could have signed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Giovani Dos Santos. The players' huge potential talent were spotted by Madrid when the players were just 14 years old, but the club didn't make the steps necessary to sign the talented youngsters.

Because of the 'Galacticos' regime, the club and president Florentino Perez never actually made the finances available to purchase the players - instead he was focused on purchasing the biggest names in World football.

When the player Claude Makelele was sold to Chelsea, the mistakes in the 'Galacticos' regime were already evident. Now the club was selling on a player which was seen to hold the team together, providing the necessary defensive cover and back up to the midfield. The president didn't recognise his talents, or the needs of the team, and so a huge hole was left in the Madrid team.

Madrid have recently changed their stance now, and the new coach Bernd Schuster has made some quality investments at the club; signing the likes of young stars Roysten Drenthe, Christoph Metzelder, Sergio Ramos, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Javier Saviola and Gonzalo Higuain. However the club has hade to pay the price in terms of not bringing in these players from a younger age, spending nearly £50 million in total.

The club does now appear to be set up well for the next few years, with a large array of young talented footballers set to mould the team for several more seasons - and to clear out the 'Galacticos' regime along with all of the old deadwood which used to remain at Madrid. The likes of Beckham, Carlos, Figo, Ronaldo, Owen have all moved on, and now have Real Madrid.

I've been following Euro 2008 and I have enjoyed watching the competition thus far. I watched two impressive victories thus far, Spain's 4-1 brilliance over Russia and the Netherlands' thrashing of Italy.

I want to draw some attention right now to the Portuguese, who seem to be in good form, as they have won both of their matches thus far. Although they don't look to me as impressive as the Netherlands or Spain, they get the job done and have been beating their opponents quite convincingly, but I don't think the score lines in both their matches truly reflected how close their games were.

---

The only difference between them and the teams they have beaten is that they took their opportunities when they came, and in football this is what separates the best from the rest.

Portugal has a good team with the likes of captain Nuno Gomes, Simao, Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, but do they have what it takes to be crowned the best of Europe. With the lineup they possess I believe they are capable of doing it but I really don't see them winning this one. They have a good midfield but their defense looks a bit shaky at times and their chemistry seems to be a bit off.

---

I do like the way Cristiano Ronaldo is playing, as he is passing the ball a lot more than he would had he been playing for Manchester United, but I'm never overly impressed with the things he does.

---

One thing that I have really questioned about this Portuguese team is the fact that team coach, Luiz Scolari allows Ronaldo to wear the captain's armband when Nuno Gomes is substituted. Personally, I think the band should be given to a more experienced player like Deco, but I guess the armband is given to Ronaldo to boost his confidence. However he is still very young and I don't think he's ready to lead the national team.

Overall Portugal are playing well and with a little bit more time together they most likely will get better, we just have to wait and see how they hold up against the bigger guns of the competition.

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo pictures immense soccer success as the best way for him to progress and improve as an all-round team player. Having won the Premiership in just his third season in English soccer, the Portuguese star had already identified some personal targets as the best way to improve his ability as a soccer player.

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in the English Premiership he appeared to try and over-perform in situations that weren't necessary, and often he would lose the ball trying fancy tricks in dangerous situations. The Manchester United players and coaching staff all offered advice to Cristiano, and he soon learned that he should try and play more like a team player.

This season has seen Cristiano Ronaldo really reach his set targets as a soccer star, the Manchester United winger has been the clubs best player by far, helping secure the Premiership title for the first time in 3 years and scoring 17 goals in the process; a superb success for a wide-midfield player. The Portuguese winger has learnt not to try his fancy tricks when the team is defending in their own half, and has shown that he is more of a team player by passing and moving the ball around with far more respect for his team-mates.

The season has not only seen club success for Cristiano Ronaldo; the United winger has also had great personal successes. Cristiano Ronaldo became only the second footballer in English history to receive both the PFA players' award and the PFA young players' award, two superb footballing awards to receive. Ronaldo has also been rewarded a lucrative new 5 year contract worth around £120,000 a week with Manchester United.

He fits the epitome of the 21st century metro sexual male who cares about how he looks. These men spend a lot of time on creating the image they want to present to the public. They are well groomed, look after their skin and use high quality hair products.Cristiano's curly style is cut short on the sides and the top is left longer. As his hair is thick and curly, the style requires layers to be cut. Layers provide texture to the hair and make styling easier.

Cristiano Ronaldo videos are currently proving very popular with football aficionados the world over. But just who is Cristiano Ronaldo?Cristiano Ronaldo burst onto the world scene in the highly regarded English Premier League in 2003. Just a few days earlier, Manchester United lost whilst playing an overseas match against Sporting Clube de Portugal. During this match, Sir Alex Ferguson's eye was drawn to this "wonderkid" of a player.

Fergie had not previously viewed any Cristiano Ronaldo videos, nor did he know much about this player. However, on the plane home after the match, several of United's players encouraged Fergie to quickly put in a bid for the youngster, lest any other teams find out about this unique talent and start a bidding war.

As Manchester United were in the market for a new winger (David Beckham had recently left), a quick bid of around £12 million was tabled and the deal quickly wrapped up.

The "other Ronaldo" was unveiled shortly thereafter at Old Trafford and introduced within days as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers. That day is recalled with fond memories by Manchester United supporters who remember how he completely baffled the other team with his perfectly timed feints and elaborate stepovers, often beating and going past up to three players at a time.

Since then, Ronaldo has shown that he is one of the world's most feared attackers. He can play on either wing and even as a supporting striker. As a midfielder, he scores many more goals than is the average for that position which is appreciated greatly by United as they have seen lean goalscoring periods in the past few years from some of their midfielders, whose contribution to goals is considered an important supplement to the regular staple produced by the orthodox strikers.
