Jose: Ronaldo’s mine
STAYING PUT ... Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says Cristiano Ronaldo is going nowhere

JOSE MOURINHO has told Manchester City to forget any idea of trying to prise Cristiano Ronaldo away from Madrid.

The Real boss is adamant his star striker — who has scored 150 goals in 149 games — is going nowhere.

When asked what he would do if City — Tuesday’s Champions League opponents — did put in a bid for Ronaldo, The Special One coolly replied: “I would say to every club to forget Cristiano.

“Don’t waste your time... Cristiano and Real Madrid are perfect for each other.”

Mourinho also played down Ronaldo’s ‘I’m sad’ outburst which came after the 3-0 win over Granada a fortnight ago.

Ronaldo, 27, scored twice but did not celebrate, afterwards explaining: “I’m sad. When I don’t celebrate a goal it is because I’m not happy.

“It’s a professional thing. Real Madrid know why I’m not happy.”

But last night Mourinho shrugged off his comments saying: “If Cristiano’s sad but plays the same — that’s perfect for me.”

And the Portuguese coach is expecting nothing less than perfection in tonight’s La Liga clash in Seville where a win will help quell the media circus sparked by Ronaldo’s comments.

Real are under enough pressure having managed just four points from three games. It means they are already five points behind arch-rivals Barcelona.

And Mourinho says Ronaldo has put himself under immense pressure. He warned: “If he plays awful and tired I will take him off in the 75th minute like anyone else.

“Finally after 15 days of talking about Ronaldo it is time to see if he plays well or not. Ronaldo now needs peace, quiet and to play football which is what he does the best and likes the best.”
