Cristiano Ronaldo not interested in taking the Ballon d’Or 2012 but wants to take trophies.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to improve his country in football and make them grow

As part of an interview with the official website of the Portuguese Football Federation, Cristiano Ronaldo said he was not obsessed with obtaining the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2012. Even if it would obviously take the Real Madrid star feeds on other ambitions, more collective: finally win a trophy with the selection of Portugal.

“It is a pride and an honour to be the captain of the Selecção. I want to take Portugal as high as possible. Always a bit of luck and that’s what we missed in recent international competitions. We went close two or three times, if that, during the last Euro, we lost half against Spain at the end of the shoot on goal. Play for a club is one thing, but for his country, is totally different. The will to win and the passion to win are comparable, but the emotional involvement is higher when you are defending the colours of your country”, he said.
