Most Expensive Footballer

      Christiano Ronaldo Portugal's star footballer and country's heartthrob returned to practice today despite his injury's Tendinosis in his Left knee and a muscle problem in his left thigh.   
     Ronaldo forward for Club Real Madrid could possibly be Portugal's only hope of getting a World Cup title. Ronaldo's career achievements have been shocking to the soccer world.
             Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha,where he played for 2 years, before moving to C.D. Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Ronaldo caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson,who signed him for £12.2 million (€15 million) in 2003. In 2004, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup. In 2007, Ronaldo was the first player in England to win all 4 main PFA and FWA awards. In 2008 and 2013, he won the FIFA/Ballon d'Or award for the best footballer in the world, the first Portuguese player to win the award twice. [9][10] He was awarded the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011 and 2014. In 2008, he won 3 of the 4 main PFA and FWA trophies and was named the FIFA World Player of the Year,FIFPro Player of the Year,World Soccer Player of the Year,and the Onze d'Or. [11][12][13] In 2007 and 2008, Ronaldo was named FWA Footballer of the Year. He was the inaugural winner of the FIFA Puskás Award for Goal of the Year in 2009. In a 2014 UEFA poll, Ronaldo was named the greatest goalscorer to play in the UEFA Champions League. [14] He is the competition's second top goalscorer of all time with 68 goals, only trailing Raúl with three more.
        Ronaldo is the first top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in two consecutive years, fastest Real Madrid player to reach 100 league goals, and the first player to score against every team in a single season in La Liga. [15] He holds the record for most goals scored in a season for Real Madrid. In January 2014, Ronaldo scored his 400th career goal. [16] After spending his first year at Madrid wearing the number 9 shirt, he began wearing the number 7 again following the departure of long-serving striker Raúl. Ronaldo had previously worn the number 7 shirt at Manchester United.
     Ronaldo is a Portuguese international and made his debut in August 2003. He has been capped over 100 times and is Portugal's top goalscorer of all time. With Portugal he has participated in 5 major tournaments; UEFA Euro 2004, the 2006 FIFA World Cup,UEFA Euro 2008,the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012. He scored his first international goal in the opening game of Euro 2004 against Greece,in addition to helping Portugal reach the final. He took over captaincy in July 2008 and captained them to the Euro 2012 semi-finals finishing the competition as joint-top scorer.
             He is now known as the most expensive footballer in the world and in history. Moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid for €94 million ($132 Million USD). Ronaldo gets paid €21 million ($286 million USD) a year after taxes.
           I am certainly looking forward to his performance in Brasil at the 20th Fifa World Cup.
