What A Week In Sports
Posted by Joelseah on June 13, 2009
The past week has seen plenty of excitement in Sports (save for the fact that Ferrari failed to get a podium finish in Turkey after so much promise). Anyway, the biggest news of the week has to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Real Madrid. More about that later..
First up, Roger Federer has finally done it! Yes, the man whom many has debated to be the greatest player of all time has finally completed the grand slam with a win in the French Open. Of course, many people will argue that he won because Rafael Nadal was knocked out. Well hey, give him some credit.. 19 consecutive Grand Slam Semi Finals is an awesome record, and no one else has come close to that.
In Soccer, Real Madrid has done it again! There’s definitely something in their system that many corporations or even countries can take a leaf from, because they seem to have endless amount of cash for players. After a £59 million record breaking deal for Kaka, they now have an £80 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo accepted.
Personally, i’m kinda glad to see Ronaldo leave. As much as he guarantees at least 20 goals a season, i think he’s slowly becoming a nuisance at the club. Anyway, latest news today is that Manchester United is attempting to hijack Real’s bid for David Villa by launching a £45 million bid of their own. Don’t think they’ll succeed though.. Villa has stated that he prefers to stay in Spain.
