RONIE STANDS THE TEST OF TIME3/12/2007 12:37:00 PMThree goals, plus plenty of action and work both on and off the field, the last forty days have been filled with pure Ronaldo magic

MILAN – Ronaldo is a strong Rossoneri resource. The Brazilian talent has never failed to please since his arrival in Milan. Fans rejoiced in the first half of the derby, not just because Milan were in the lead but also because they were celebrating Ronaldo's goal. Not only did he deserve to be in that moment but also for the satisfaction he must have felt within for changing the course of such an important game.
Ronie has conquered all thanks to his consistent efforts and hard work in training and on the field. He promised that by the end of January he would be available, he confided to his friends across the globe that he was totally enthusiastic about his move to Milan. That’s how it’s been and it’s been perfect just like it is. He does everything in his power to help the team and then returns to Milanello to ensure that he is in the right condition to make himself useful once again.
Since the start of Ronaldo’s Rossoneri adventure, Milan have almost always won and this is thanks in part to him as well. Here’s what Ronaldo has done so far with the Rossoneri:
MILAN-LIVORNO 2-1: Entered when the game was at 1-1. After Marek Jankulovski’s shot, he searched for the back of the net at least three times including a shot from outside the penalty box that grazed the post with Amelia left stranded.
SIENA-MILAN 3-4: Two goals and an assist. Phenomenal!
MILAN-SAMPDORIA 1-0: Helped the team during a difficult start, the only striker after Massimo Oddo was expelled from the field and Milan were left in ten. Not an easy match and, in addition, he took a hard hit at the end of the first half.
PALERMO-MILAN 0-0: He wasn't in top form after the hit to his knee three days earlier and because of this he doesn’t start. In the last twenty minutes he enters and, despite the rebound, brushes the woodwork with what could have been the victory goal.
MILAN-CHIEVO 3-1: A useful resource, he is full of energy for the entire game. He makes an attempt to score during the first half, sets up Massimo Oddo and later brushes the post.
INTER-MILAN 2-1: Scores his third Rossoneri goal and assists Rino Gattuso’s for what could have been the 2-0 derby goal. His goal is like a football fairy tale and even without the win, his goal will remain forever.
