Castrol launches Ronaldo film. YES they're making a Cristiano Movie!!!

Madrid - Castrol has created an advertiser funded film-documentary starring its global ambassador, Cristiano Ronaldo, to launch its new product brand, Castrol Edge, across its key territories.

The unique, hour-long film-documentary was developed by M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment and filmed in Madrid, by UK production house, Plum Pictures.

The documentary will give fans an exclusive insight into what makes Ronaldo one of the best footballers of his generation.

Castrol Edge has been developed by experts and was tested to its limits to become Castrol’s strongest, most advanced engine oil yet - by applying the same rigorous testing to Ronaldo, the new film-documentary Castrol Edge Presents Ronaldo Tested to the Limit, sees the Portugal and Real Madrid winger push himself in an in-depth scientific examination.

Castrol Edge Presents Ronaldo Tested to the Limit sees the star player’s skills, strength and agility taken away from the pitch and into a high performance lab where the world’s leading sports scientists use cutting-edge technology to test him in a series of challenges that show exactly what gives him the edge.

Using ultra slow motion and high impact computer generated imagery, the piece also includes a series of interviews with football experts including Fabio Capello and Arsène Wenger.

The global premiere of Castrol Edge Presents Ronaldo Tested to the Limit will take place in Madrid, Spain, in September 2011, before being broadcast on TV channels in 15 key markets for Castrol.

Global distribution is being handled by Mindshare, and the film-documentary will be supported by a globalPR campaign also created and managed by M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment.

Castrol Edge Global brand manager, Sean Rahaley, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be launching Castrol Edge globally and to be doing so with a film as groundbreaking as Castrol Edge Presents Ronaldo Tested to the Limit.”

“By testing Ronaldo to his absolute limit, just like we do with the product, the film showcases the core brand values of Castrol Edge - strength and performance - in an entertaining and compelling way.

“The film-documentary also allows us to offer a host of exclusive benefits and experiences to our customers and consumers from around the world, including exclusive access to the global premiere this September and opportunities to meet Cristiano in person.”

At the filming in Madrid in July, Cristiano Ronaldo added: “Shooting the film has been really exciting as it’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this. The challenges were designed to look at my strength and skill in detail and it’s been a great experience to see how my body works. The challenges were really tough, but I think I did well on the day.”

Cristiano names Cheryl Cole as his ideal Date. What about your GF

If there’s one thing that’s likely to rile a taken woman, it’s her boyfriend naming someone else as his ideal date.

But Cristiano Ronaldo went ahead anyway and picked out Cheryl Cole as the lady he’d most like to take out, telling an interviewer: ‘I’d take her for a hot chocolate.’

The Real Madrid footballer seemed to have forgotten that he’s actually going out with 25-year-old Russian model Irina Shayk, who's not likely to be too pleased about his revelation.

Ronaldo's faux pas came in an interview with The Sunday Mirror, who he also told about his dislike of glamour models, despite the fact that Ms Shayk is herself, well, a very glamorous model and that he’s also been linked romantically with other models such as Nereida Gallardo.

But the former Manchester United striker was resolute when it was put to him by the paper that he’d entertained a few.

‘No!’ he said.

He went on to voice his distain for all things female and glamorous.

'Girls who do glamour. Girls who get off their face on alcohol, girls who are shallow. Girls who dress with their boobs out on show all the time and try to be hot, I find these types pathetic,’ he said.

The striker also explained how his home is extensively decorated with his trademark ‘CR7’. The nickname came about from his playing days at Manchester United, where he wore the No7 shirt.

It has now been etched into the furniture, plates and windows of his multi-million pound Madrid home

‘This is probably the most extravagant thing I’ve done,’ he revealed.

And he’s done plenty of extravagant things. His friends can all vouch for this.

‘People who’ve been with me a long time, I look after these people,’ he told the paper. ‘I take them to five-star hotels. I pay for private planes, I pay at the bar. I buy my friends champagne at £1,000-plus a bottle. It’s no problem – I like my friends to be happy.’

He is also desperate for his one-year-old son to lead a happy life. Ronaldo states that Cristiano Ronaldo Jr is the most important thing in his life, followed by football, then money.

Her identity has never been revealed, but is ­rumoured to be a student who was paid €10million to give up her maternal rights.

(Pictures) Cristiano Ronaldo rocks İstanbul's Beyoğlu

World-famous soccer player of Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, Cristiano Ronaldo, was in İstanbul on Saturday as the guest of Beşiktaş Chairman Yıldırım Demirören, drawing a huge crowd to İstikal Street in Taksim, where he attended the inauguration ceremony of a shopping mall owned by Demirören.

The private plane carrying Ronaldo and his girlfriend, famous Russian model Irina Shayk, landed at İstanbul Atatürk Airport early Saturday. The couple was then transferred to their accommodations at the Çırağan Kempisnki Hotel by helicopter. They were arrived at the shopping mall located along İstiklal Street later than planned due to the huge crowds as thousands of soccer fans flocked into the street to see one of world's most expensive soccer players. Although Ronaldo was scheduled to sign autographs in the shopping mall, the session was cancelled due to the stampede. The player instead addressed the crowd from the balcony of a café in the shopping mall. “I love you all. I am very happy to be here in Turkey. I thank everyone who came here for me,” he said. Responding to questions from reporters after his address, Ronaldo said he was pleased to see that such a crowd gathered for him. When asked whether he wants to play for a Turkish team, he said there are many years ahead of him and he cannot guess what might happen. The trams running along İstiklal Street were forced to come to a halt due to the crowds, and some shop owners had to close their shops. MORE PICTURES Here  and Here and HERE

(PICS) Cristiano Ronaldo hides under a towel as he heads to the beach with Irina

He is one of the most famous and recognisable sportsmen in the world.

So any attempt by Cristiano Ronaldo to go incognito are not likely to succeed.

The perma-tanned Real Madrid player hid his head beneath a towel today as he headed to the beach in Portugal with girlfriend Irina Shayk.

But despite the towel, cap and sunglasses, the 26-year-old was easily recognisable.

Irina, 25, looked gorgeous as ever in a white crochet sun dress over a black string bikini and white gladiator sandals.

Rather than a beach tote, the Russian model carried a matching designer handbag.

The couple were joined by Irina's sister Tatiana for the beach date in Troia, Setubal.

Tatiana wore a T-shirt and tiny pair of hotpants, and appears every bit as genetically blessed as her supermodel sibling.

Cristiano and Irina are in his native Portugal to attend the christening of the footballer's son Cristiano Junior.

(VIDEO) Cristiano Ronaldo: "I'd sign to stay on for ten more years"

'I can't see myself leaving Real Madrid,' says Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano claims he would stay at Real Madrid for another 10 years if the opportunity arose, even though they won just a single trophy last season, the Copa del Rey, despite the Portugal international's 53 goals.

As good as Madrid were they still found themselves playing second fiddle to Barcelona, who won both La Liga and Champions League – in which they beat Madrid in the semi-finals.

Ronaldo has recently been linked with a move to Manchester City, a club backed by wealthy Middle Eastern owners, but the former Manchester United man insists he has no immediate plans to return to the Premier League. "I can't see myself leaving Madrid," he told the Cadena COPE radio station. "I'm very happy here, it has been phenomenal."

Ronaldo, who was reported to have been offered £400,000 a week to join City, says money is not a deciding factor in his future. "If I was after just money I could have doubled what I have in my account," he said. "But for me the most important thing is how people treat you. If the [Madrid] president [Florentino Perez] told me to sign on for 10 years today, I would do it – although I don't know what will happen tomorrow."

Ronaldo has won just one trophy since moving to Madrid, but believes his side can go on to win the Champions League for the first time since 2002.

"We had the potential to win more [last season]," he said. "I'm not obsessed by the Champions League, but I'm very excited about winning it – if you have a good coach and good players, everything arrives sooner or later."

And Ronaldo believes the Real manager, José Mourinho is the best there is. "He knows what he has to do to make the team win and I am sure we will do better in his second year at Madrid, as happened with me," he added.

"Mourinho is the best: he has shown that in all the leagues he has coached in. He knows better than anyone that we have to improve in all aspects and only those who work with him know what he is like."

Ronaldo scored 40 times in the Primera División to break the record shared by former Madrid great Hugo Sánchez and Athletic Bilbao legend Telmo Zarra, but the Portuguese says he would prefer titles to goals.

"I would prefer to have scored half the goals and won the league or the Champions League," he said. "But I've felt more comfortable [than last year] and, individually, this was perhaps my best season."

Madrid have been linked with the Atlético Madrid forward Sergio Agüero, the Santos striker Neymar and the Benfica full-back Fábio Coentrão – and Ronaldo believes all three would be great signings.

"Kun [Agüero] and Neymar are two great players and Coentrão may be the best Portuguese player still playing in Portugal," he said. "Fabio would be a great signing. He is a nice guy, he's very ambitious, he runs a lot and he's a very good player."

Ronaldo also hopes Madrid will keep the striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who spent the second half of the season on loan at the Santiago Bernabéu from Manchester City.

"I would keep him," he said. "He is a very good footballer, but an even better team-mate. He is also very important in the dressing room. He's like Marcelo, he transmits a lot of joy and positive energy."

Whichever players end up at Madrid next season, Ronaldo believes Barcelona can be caught.

"They won [last season] because they were the best, but no team is unbeatable," he said. "Barça have a great team and a good coach, but we'll get there. We have already shown in the cup and in other games [that we can compete]. We want to beat them and difficult things bring a different pleasure."

I personally don't him to go anywhere. i kinda want him back in Manchester United

"We all have the same dream"

Cristiano Ronaldo gave hope to his National Team, led by Paulo Bento, before the crucial game against Norway for the Euro 2012 Qualifiers, that the National Team ended up winning 1-0 with a goal of the player from Vila do Conde, Hélder Postiga.
According to the Record's newspaper, the coach gave the role to the captain to give the last words after his instructions to the game with the Nordic and Ronaldo didn't refrained from further to encourage his team mates.
"We all have the same dream. We want to win, we have our fate in our hands." said Ronaldo in a locker room full of optimism and with players arranged in a semi-circle.
With the victory over Norway, Portugal now leads the Group H of the Euro 2012 Qualifiers, after a catastrophic start with a draw against Cyprus and a defeat against the Norwegians.
Since Paulo Bento came, Portugal lost a friendly game against Argentina, draw a friendly game against Chile and won the rest of them, giving credits to the game against Spain which his team ended up winning 4-0, claiming revenge after the offside goal of David Villa in the World Cup that took Portugal out of the tournament.
The Portuguese people are getting excited with their new coach and their hopes of qualifying and winning the Euro 2012 are higher. 
Is this Paulo Bento Era going to end up good just like it started?

Manchester United manager would love to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo, says Marcello Lippi

According to former Italy and Juventus coach Marcello Lippi, who is a close friend of the Scot, Ferguson harbours hopes that one day the Portugal international will play for United again.

Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid for £80 million in the summer of 2009, but Lippi is quoted in The Sun as saying: "Sir Alex told me he would take Ronaldo back tomorrow.

"We both think he is an extraordinary striker who can start on either wing, or as the sole striker and perform brilliantly.

"But the truly remarkable thing about Cristiano is that he always scores."

Ronaldo has enjoyed a sensational season at Real, becoming the all-time La Liga record holder with 40 goals, hitting 51 in all competitions.

Cristiano at Lunch with His Son, Irina, and his Family (Picutres)

When dining with their boyfriend's parents, many women would be concerned with their manners in front of potential in-laws.

Irina Shayk clearly feels at home with her footballer beau Cristiano Ronaldo's family, as the pair got down to some serious kissing at the table during lunch in his hometown, Funchal, Madeira.

But while the gorgeous Russian model was wrapped up in her boyfriend's embrace, laying her head back and closing her eyes, Cristiano appeared a little distracted.

The Real Madrid player looked over Irina's head as the pair embraced, before pulling his head away.

Irina did not appear happy with the snub, playfully pouting and trying to pull Cristiano's face back towards her.

Their comical interaction was witnessed by the footballer's family and Cristiano's little boy Cristiano Jr, who they have been spending time with in the Ronaldo's home town on the Portugese island.

The good-looking duo are enjoying their down time, with Irina going casual and make-up free.

As an in-demand model, she spends most of her time coiffed and preened to perfection, but Irina was happy to step out in a simple white vest and jeans, with tousled, natural hair and not a scrap of make-up on her beautiful face.

Cristiano, 26, was typically decked out in designer gear in a Gucci cap.

Ronaldo: I owe record to my team-mates

Cristiano Ronaldo was keen to share his success with his Real Madrid team-mates after breaking La Liga's single-season scoring record.

The Portuguese superstar struck twice in the 8-1 thrashing of Almeria to move on to 40 league goals for the campaign - two clear of the record he previously jointly held with his club's former sharpshooter Hugo Sanchez (1989/90) and the legendary Athletic Bilbao striker Telmo Zarra (1959/60).
Ronaldo's brace took his tally to 11 in his last four games and he finished 2010/11 with 53 goals in all competitions. It has been a stunning season from the world's most expensive player, who struck seven hat-tricks in total, but the 26-year-old was quick to hail the part played by his companions at Real.
"The reason I've scored so many goals is thanks to my team-mates, and I'm very grateful to them," said Ronaldo, who dedicated his first Pichichi, awarded to the Spanish top flight's leading marksman, to the rest of the Merengue squad and the fans.

"I'm generous with my team-mates because they are the same with me. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to score 40 goals in the league."

It's difficult to repeat these figures, but nothing is impossible and I'm going to continue working to achieve it.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo's brace, combined with a hat-trick from Emmanuel Adebayor, two more from Karim Benzema and a late goal from youngster Joselu, saw Real complete their campaign with a thumping victory over relegated Almeria and finish with 102 goals in La Liga for the second successive season.
Although Los Blancos had already lost the title to Barcelona, it was an impressive way to end Jose Mourinho's first season in charge. "We are very happy to finish the season in this way," said Ronaldo, who has helped the capital outfit score 21 goals in winning their last four games.

"To score 102 goals is very difficult and I want to congratulate my team-mates for achieving that. The coach wanted us to finish the season with a lot of goals to start the next season with ambition, and we've done that."
Looking ahead, Ronaldo said of the possibility of him reaching a similar mark again: "It's difficult to repeat these figures, but nothing is impossible and I'm going to continue working to achieve it."

Cristiano Ronaldo breaks record

Cristiano Ronaldo broke the single-season Spanish top flight scoring record and Emmanuel Adebayor struck a hat-trick as Real Madrid signed off their campaign with an emphatic 8-1 win over relegated Almeria this evening.

The Portuguese superstar needed less than five minutes to get his 39th La Liga goal of the campaign, claiming the outright record that he had previously jointly held with Real Madrid's Hugo Sanchez (1989/90) and the legendary Athletic Bilbao striker Telmo Zarra (1959/60). Ronaldo also added a second late on to take his tally to 11 in his last four games and finish the season with an astonishing 53 goals in all competitions.

Also, Adebayor did his hopes of securing a permanent move to Madrid no harm with a treble, while a Karim Benzema brace and a maiden goal for young substitute Joselu completed the scoring for Jose Mourinho's men. Almeria's goal came from Kalu Uche midway through the first half when his side were 2-0 down.

With Real certain to finish the season in second place and Almeria already down, all eyes were on Ronaldo to see if he could write his name into the history books. And there were just four minutes on the clock when the Portugal international achieved the feat. Xabi Alonso's free-kick to the far post was headed back across goal by Sergio Ramos, and the unmarked Ronaldo was on hand to poke in the opening goal of the game.

That set the tone for what would be another comprehensive victory for Madrid, who finished the season with 102 goals in La Liga - seven more than champions Barcelona. Mesut Ozil and Ronaldo both had openings before Adebayor made it 2-0 in the 31st minute. The on-loan Manchester City striker had been denied a great solo goal by Esteban Suarez moments previously, but he left the Almeria goalkeeper with no chance after latching on to a brilliant pass by Ozil before slotting in from close range.

It was not all one-way traffic early on however, and Almeria, who had gone close to taking the lead inside 20 seconds at the start of the game, pulled a goal back almost immediately. Real centre-back Pepe was unable to cut out Albert Crusat's deflected cross from the left, and Uche slid in at the far post to net past Jerzy Dudek, who was playing his final game for Los Merengues.

That looked to be only a minor setback for Real, especially when Benzema almost made it 3-1 soon after with an effort that Esteban tipped on to the bar, but Almeria gave the hosts another scare immediately after half-time when Miguel Angel Corona headed against the post.

However, there was only one team in it after that as Real moved up through the gears to leave Almeria just trying to limit the damage by the end. The Madrid heavyweights' third arrived soon after that Corona effort, when Benzema bundled his way through the heart of the Almeria defence before prodding home.

Two minutes after that it was 4-1 when Adebayor volleyed in the loose ball after Ronaldo, having skipped past Esteban, saw his goal-bound shot deflected onto the post by a covering defender. A brilliant Real move stretching from end of the pitch involving Ramos, Ronaldo and Adebayor then saw Benzema make it 5-1 in 63rd minute.

The floodgates were well and truly open by this stage and Adebayor and Ramos both went close with headers before the former completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute from an Esteban Granero corner. Real's seventh arrived four minutes later through Ronaldo. The world's most expensive player picked up the ball on the halfway line and was allowed to progress unchallenged to the edge of the Almeria area, where he drilled a low shot into the far corner of the net.

Adebayor almost added another with an effort that hit the underside of the crossbar, before Real netted their eighth and final goal through Joselu. Ronaldo curled the ball into the area and the reserve-team youngster fired in as the capital team ended their first season under Mourinho in some style.

Cristiano: " If things don't improve we should just stay home and let Barcelona play by themselves"

Cristiano Ronaldo delivered the most withering put-down as theBarcelona-Real Madrid feud resumed on a stormy night at the Camp Nou. "Javier Mascherano wasn't like this at Liverpool. He must have learned all these cheating tricks at Barcelona," the Real striker said of his former rival from their Premier League days.

Real left Barcelona still trying to settle scores as Pep Guardiola's team progressed to the final at Wembley on 28 May. Ronaldo, who made his name at Manchester United, tangled with Mascherano often when the pair were in England and was sure to leave his mark on his old rival as Barça weighed up a probable clash with United after their 3-1 aggregate victory.

José Mourinho's side were upset by the disallowing of Gonzalo Higuaín's 47th-minute goal after Mascherano tumbled theatrically to the turf following contact from a falling Ronaldo, who himself had been tripped. That would have put Real 1-0 up on the night, and Xabi Alonso, who was also at Liverpool, said: "[Had] we scored the first goal it would have been totally different and we feel so many bad decisions have been made against us and we are not happy about that. We think we did a good job but decisions went against us, we really feel that way."

Warming to the theme Ronaldo said: "There was nothing wrong with the goal, that could have altered the course of the match but the referee didn't want to see it that way. Those who know about football know that Barcelona are very well protected. We just have to live with these injustices.

"We knew if we scored a goal they would do everything possible so we wouldn't get through. This isn't good for football. If things don't improve we should just stay home and let Barcelona play by themselves. Next year they should just give the cup directly to Barcelona."

Aitor Karanka, Mourinho's assistant, added: "If what happened the other day [in the first leg] hadn't happened – if Pepe hadn't been dismissed – we could have been there [in the final]."

Mourinho was serving a touchline ban following his sending-off in Madrid and is believed to have watched the game from his hotel room. "José was not on the bench, he couldn't get in the dressing room so I don't know where he's been," Karanka claimed. "He said congratulations to the team. He's outraged about what we've seen in the last few games. Madrid fans have seen the way the team is. When they let us play – we played, and we even won [in the Copa del Rey final]. We proved we can play the game. Every time we've been 11 versus 11 we've stood up to them. Everyone said it [Higuaín's] was a legal goal."

Guardiola twisted his own knife. "I want to congratulate Madrid for being so daring, playing face to face," he said. "I have an infinite gratitude to my players. We will go again to Wembley to try to win our fourth European Cup. Let's rest now and see if we can get the four points we need to win the league. Madrid have nine Champions League titles, they are the richest team in the world. We knew that. But we didn't lose our essence, except for the first 10 minutes of this second leg. The whole round has been intense and we're very satisfied with what we've done. We are a great club, a great institution, and now we want to close La Liga before the final step."

The four-game series ended with two draws and one win apiece, with Real taking the Spanish Cup but Barcelona seizing the much bigger prize of a Champions League final place. Uefa is expected to decide on Friday on a raft of disciplinary issues facing both clubs.

Not that Guardiola was ecstatic about appearing at the Football Association's expensive monument, the scene of his European Cup triumph as a Barcelona player. He said: "It would be better if we could go to the old Wembley, with the charisma it had."
