Cristiano Ronaldo: I would prefer to score fewer goals, but win more titles with Real Madrid
Posted Sunday, June 05, 2011 by
Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo is prepared to sacrifice his relentless goalscoring form if it helps the team to win more trophies next season.
Despite lifting the Copa del Rey title after defeating Barcelona, Madrid's season was seen as a disappointment, as their Catalan rivals lifted La Liga and the Champions League.
Ronaldo, who struck 53 times in all competitions for the capital giants in 2010-11, confessed that he would sacrifice his goal haul in exchange for greater success for the team.
"I would prefer not to score as many goals and win more titles," he told Marca following Portugal's 1-0 Euro 2012 qualifying win over Norway.
A section of fans whistled the winger during the crucial win over the Scandinavians at the Estadio da Luz stadium, but the player stated that the noise is of little concern to him.
"I don't listen to anything. I am happy for the result. Paulo Bento's arrival has improved the team which is now solid, confident and mature and this is why we are first [in the group]."
Portugal, Denmark and Norway are all level on 10 points in Group H, but Bento's men are ahead on goal difference.
