THE PHENOMENON RETURNS On Tuesday in Donetsk, Ronaldo could come on the pitch after the injury to make his seasonal debut against Shakhtar on the 4th matchday of the Champions League. MILAN - Ronie is ready, and he will be present on the plane which tomorrow will fly Milan to Donetsk, because this morning his name appeared on the list of 22 Rossoneri players called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the Champions League match against Shakhtar. 'El Fenomeno' never left the heart of the Rossoneri fans who don't wait for anything but to see Ronaldo come on the pitch with his number 99 shirt to transmit enthusiasm to all his team mates. Ronie's last game with Milan was Reggina-Milan, on 27 May 2007, the last matchday of the previous championship. Then on 31 July came the day of his injury, at San Siro, on the occasion of the presentation of Milan's new shirts for the 2007/2008 season. The contribution given by the Brazilian since joining Milan in the January 2007 transfer window has been important. During Milan-Livorno, on 11 February 2007 (2-1), the day of his debut, Ronaldo played the first 27 minutes in front of the San Siro public, but it was the Siena-Milan match of 17 February 2007 which saw the Phenomenon take to the pitch from the first minute, scoring his first brace (16', 81') with the Rossoneri shirt. He's made fourteen appearences in total in the 2006/2007 season, scored seven goals, and gave many important assists to his team mates. Last season, Milan had Ronaldo playing in fourteen matches, and won 10, drew 2, lost 2 of them for a total of 32 points. Milan and its fans need the 'Phenomenon' and are eagerly awaiting his season debut.

Iker Casillas to Marca "Winning the Balon d'Or is harder than winning the Euro with Spain" In an interview with sports daily Marca, Iker Casillas claims to have little doubt that he'll end his footballing career playing for Real Madrid. They're going to name a street after you at this rate, but where? (Laughs) Hey, having a street named after you only happens when you're no longer here! Perhaps in Mostoles, and I hope its discreet. I'm all about discretion. Do you dare say that you'll be playing for Real Madrid when you hang up your boots? Without a doubt, but I wouldn't mind playing in the MLS for a while so that one day if I have a kid he can learn English. What do you do that would let us know that you're comfortable during a match? It's bad when you see me talk a lot. That means I am nervous and that I don't know where to stand. If I'm quiet it means that I am very focused. Do you ever ask yourself how you make some of the saves you do? Quite often. Sometimes they shoot from up close and I save it with my ear, or sometimes they shoot from 40 metres out and I tell myself, "Boy, am I going to mess up." But what I don't like is when I get into the dressing room and get all buttered up. It's embarrassing, especially with a teammate at my side. A goalkeeper is synonymous of courage. I may be a bit of a coward when it comes to some things such as final decisions. It's hard for me. Although I do have my own ideas, I always go along with what others say so I don't offend them. Where would you be had you stayed in school? I thought about studying Business. I could have also been a policeman because I always hung out with my cousin who was one. Still have long football talks with your dad? Less now because I don't live at home, but we always find time when we're together. What's harder: Winning the Balon d'Or or the Euro with Spain? Give me the Balon d'Or. Tell Schuster not to compare Madrid with Federer. He's lost two straight to Nalbaldian. But he's still number one in the world, right? It's a shame it's not Nadal. What would you ask Schuster if you were a reporter? If he would coach Barça after coaching Madrid. And Rijkaard? I'd ask how he dealt with the pressure during his first year. I felt sorry for him when I saw him during Cup matches. But look what he's done since! Raúl? How he holds up, especially after a match that he didn't perform well in. And now Iker. Too hard! I'd ask if he would rather coach Real Madrid or be its President. And your answer would be? I would like to, but only by starting from the bottom. Who knows?! Whatever comes up because I would also like to be a television commentator. The nicest stadium you've played in? The Bernabéu, but I did enjoy the old Wembley when I played with the Under-15 squad. I thought you were going to say the Camp Nou. It's a great stadium; a lot more open than the Bernabéu.

ENTHUSIASTIC OF MILAN "They have been three difficult months for me, but now everything's over. I have to think about training to be ready as soon as possible. I'm still very enthusiastic about being here." - THE WORDS OF RONALDO - MILANELLO - Going back to work makes Ronaldo happy as he leaves behind the problems of the start of the season and is preparing to give his contribution on the pitch. Today the Rossoneri Phenomenon talked exclusively to Milan Channel's microphones. Here is what he said: 'Three months have passed since my injury, it's been a difficult period for me but now, I think, my problems have passed. I leave behind an injury that caused me many problems. Now I only have to use the trainings with the team and get back in form as quickly as possible.' 'Staying out of the team is never easy, mentally it was very difficult for me, also because I wasn't sure when I would return. It's been tough, but we had the necessary calmness to heal and work and now I think it's all over. I see the end of my problems.' 'I'm still very enthusiastic about being here and have the possibility to help this team. Last year things went well, I did well in the league. Now a new season starts for me, even if a little later. We are there now.'

GILA’S WILL "I feel fine, I have a lot of desire to play and I would like to start from the first minute against Shakhtar because I would like to be a protagonist of this game.” – THE DECLARATIONS OF ALBERTO GILARDINO – MILANELLO – These are the declarations of Alberto Gilardino at ‘Milan Channel’ at the end of today’s training session. “Unfortunately we did not succeed to find a solution to beat the home taboo. Even last night we tried to win, but unfortunately we did not succeed despite in the first half we created two or three chances which we then failed to finish. “We proved in the away games, that when we manage to open the result straight away, everything becomes simpler, because last night unfortunately we did not succeed. “Personally at home I only managed to score a brace in the Champions League against Shakhtar, I hope to succeed as soon as possible to score at San Siro. From our side, us players must continue working well like we are doing and move forward. “In last night’s game we were unlucky in various occasions: for me the first one was when I shot and the ball finished on Sereni, whereas in the other one I could have shot better. “Now on Tuesday we will face Shakhtar, a very important game for Milan because if we win we end up having nine points in the group stage. “Personally I feel well, I have a lot of desire to play and I would like to start from the beginning because I want to be a protagonist in this game.”
