Ronaldo´s current "injury" issue

Ancelotti didn't "blast" Milan Lab. You've been on goal.com for too long.

He just appeared irritated when asked a question and said "ask the doctors how Ronaldo is", which is far from how you characterize it.

For the official perspective on the issue:

As I thought...much ado about nothing....but still, he is out for a month at the least.

Ah well.....at least we have Gila

"Ho molta fiducia in Milan Lab e nei medici del Milan. Il rapporto è sempre molto trasparente, molto sincero. Spero al più presto di tornare a fare quello che mi piace di più" - LE DICHIARAZIONI DI RONALDO -

MILANELLO - Queste le dichiarazioni di Ronaldo rilasciate in esclusiva ai microfoni di Milan Channel al termine della giornata al centro sportivo di Milanello.

Ronie, intanto bentornato anche se sei stato via pochissimo, però è un piacere vederti qui e un piacere sapere che stai già iniziando a lavorare per tornare presto in campo.
"Si, grazie. E' stata importante questa visita in Brasile per avere un altro parere importante da una persona di grande fiducia, senza togliere nulla agli altri pareri precedenti. Mi ha chiarito un po' di cose, quindi adesso credo che siamo sulla strada guista."

Hai ipotizzato quando poter tornare?
"No, assolutamente no, perchè le lesioni muscolari sono sempre molto difficili per poter dare un tempo di rientro. Adesso credo che faremo le cose giuste per riprendere il più presto possibile."

Si sono dette tante cose e chiaramente i tifosi hanno letto tante cose. C'è qualcosa che vuoi dire per chiarire come è stata la vicenda in realtà?
"Da parte nostra cerchiamo sempre di fare le cose trasparenti, in modo da non mettere mai in dubbio il nostro lavoro. Vogliamo soltanto avere la tranquillità di cui abbiamo bisogno per guarire bene e abbiamo anche bisigno del tempo che sarà necessario per guarire la lesione. Purtroppo è capitata questa lesione, purtroppo abbiamo commesso degli errori, però adesso abbiamo scoperto tutto. Adesso lavoreremo giustamente e poi speriamo il più presto possibile di tornare."

Il Milan sabato gioca a Siena. Un po' di malinconia per te e un po' di nostalgia visto che proprio lì hai iniziato a segnare con la maglia del Milan?
"Si, comunque è appena l'inizio di stagione, sono sicuro che ho tantissimo tempo per riprendere e per tornare in campo e fare tanti gol. Il mio primo gol l'ho segnato contro il Siena, ora tocca ai ragazzi fare bene e portare a casa i tre punti."

Prosegue alla grande e bene questo rapporto con il Milan?
"Certamente, certamente. Ho molta fiducia in MilanLab e nei medici del Milan. Il rapporto è sempre molto trasparente, molto sincero e il rapporto che continua è molto buono."

La tua storia non è finita?
"La storia è iniziata, sono da poco tempo nel Milan e purtroppo a noi calciatori succedono queste lesioni che ci allontanano dai campi di gioco, però spero al più presto di tornare a fare quello che mi piace di più."

Yeah, better than nothing ..?.?

I believe a lot of the club like myself have been left very frustrated. Ronaldo clearly wants to be fit and acted in very poor judgement originally leaving without notifying the Milan management and Milanlab. Due to his actions, our club's, Milanlab's and his own reputations have been dented.

Carlo's frustration is understandable, as he's had to be very patient over the matter, though again it probably wasn't best for him to react with annoyance, as it adds to the drama. Unfortunately because of this the media will have a field day until the weekend.

Galliani for me has handled things well, as he's attempted to diffuse the situation and reduce the drama surrounding this whole thing.

Milanlab though wrong for me acted well, as they've admitted a mistake on their part and have worked with Runco and his team to handle the situation. Though they have to act as part of the job, it's a good reaction as they've been insulted during all this, despite being the best physiotherapy group in the football world.

Runco and the Brazilian team were correct in their diagnosis, but for me have made the worst statements during all this. They quite openly and publicly speak poorly of their colleagues in Milanlab, and even if the media twisted comments, they were poor in when choosing their words. Such attitudes is unacceptable for people in any profession.

I just want this whole drama to end and the doctors to do their job and try to get him back on the field asap. Everyone has clearly gotten frustrated over the matter and I hope the management make sure Ronaldo's clear that such actions are unnacceptable.

he basically says, among other things, that his relationship with milan is sincere and great, and he has full trust in the doctors. he doesn't want to guess what time he will be back though, cause muscle injuries are hard to prognosticate. he believes his story is not finished, but has just begun in milan.

This "growth factor" sounds a little too much like HGH for my tastes (however it could just be a poor translation of the ideomatic Portugese). It had better not be, or there is going to be some trouble with WADA that Milan doesn't want to get into.

Plus, is this injury a "lesion", a "strain", a "sprain" or a "tear"? I've read almost every one used to describe it in the press. Each word means totally different things in medical terminology, and in the ETA of a return to competition.

Nobody knows, but I think it should be fine. I think the media is just making a big fuss about it when in fact it's no big deal.

As quoted from:
http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=52315

Many things have been said and clearly the fans have read many things. Is there anything you'd like to say to clear up how things have gone in reality?
"From our side, we always try to do things transparently, so as not to put our work in doubt. All we want is to be given the tranquility to recover from the injury in the time that is necessary. Unfortunately this injury came up, we made some mistakes, but now everything has been discovered. Now we are working in the right direction and hope to get back as soon as possible."

What kind of mistakes??

i think he meant the mistake is false diagnose for his injury... Its everything in order now and we must just wait to wear of the new diagnosed injury. And hope this one is right for real

I just have one question when is Milan finaly going to rilaze that they need jounger players and need a one more good striker.. Inzaghi is good but OLD,slow,, and he cant create chances 4 him self.. same thing 4 Gilardhinjo i really like the player but he sucks ...!! Ronaldo is injured and he wont be back god know's when... eaven if he doo he cant goo in dooels othervies he will get injured again.. and PATO hehe January we will be so behind in seria A.. and maybe we wont eaven goo thro first leg of champion league.. Cafu he was good but not any more ( old and slow ) same thing 4 ambrosine,inzaghi, brocchi wtf... comeon man they need 2 put goorcuf in so ge can get ussed 2 it what do u guys think about all this situation thats happening in AC Milan..????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I really dont knw wats goin on with milan! its obvious we need changes made like yesterday- and i knw that we are short on options with inzaghi and gila ,
coz they definitely cant play together. We NEED ronaldo -even if he plays badly -he can still hold up the ball up font with either inzaghi or gila as his partner.

if only he was fit -milan could finally make that diamond formation work!!

i cant even remember what it feels like to win - its been forever ,

does any1 knw wen Ronaldo is set to return???

EVERY single matter regarding that guy soon turns into an unending soap opera, it's pathetic...

I still fail to understand why we sign a footballer that is a veritable sinonym for TROUBLE!
