Italy, Spasi-id.com - turns out life in the football club is hard Real Madrid too. With the highest discipline it turns out to be able to make Real Madrid's great name respected in the world of football. One of his disciplinary victims was Ronaldo Nazario.
Despite what happened a One of them was about the decision the club released Ronaldo Nazario to AC Milan in January 2006 / 2007.
"The decision to fire Ronaldo and recruit Cassano helped create a winning spirit in the team," said Capello at the dello Sport Festival in Trento, Italy, as Marca quoted, Monday (26 / 9 / 2022).
Capello had previously handled Real Madrid in 1996-1997. In his second period, he had trouble with his Brazilian star player.
Capello has absolutely no doubt that Ronaldo is a great player. The Italian coach is actually still in need of a striker's service to strengthen Barcelona and Inter Milan before joining the Los Merengues. But Ronaldo's behavior made things difficult.
Capello once got a call from AC President Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, who asked for Ronaldo's news. Capello at that time told the story as it was and didn't advise Berluconi to carry out Ronaldo because of his unprofessional behavior.
"I remember Silvio Berlusconi calling me asking how Ronaldo was," said Capello.
"I told him that he wasn't even practicing. He's too fond of dugem and women. So, bringing her to Milan would be a mistake," Capello said. "The next day I saw a headline in the paper: 'Ronaldo in Milan'. That's really funny."
Ronaldo has finally joined after strengthening Real Madrid for five seasons since 2002. In January 2007, the Brazilian player officially joined AC Milan with a transfer value of 8.05 million euros.
In exchange for Ronaldo, Capello carried Casano from the U.S. of Rome with a transfer value of 5 million euros. "Cassano helped create a victory spirit in the team," he said. "We were able to take nine points from Barcelona in the last 10 games and I'm still very proud of that achievement."
The Italian coach also revealed that Real Madrid was the team that left the biggest footprint on him. Especially because of how he formed the club during his first trip in Santiago Qurabeu when he won the league title in 1997.
"Real Madrid is the most surviving team in my heart because I have to build it by bringing in players that you think can make a difference," says Capello.
"I have four 20-year-olds on the main team," he said. "I bring in Seedorf from Samporia and Roberto Carlos to assist defense."
