pellegrini elects cristiano ronaldoMADRID, Spain, Feb. 26, 2010 .- Manuel Pellegrini, the Chilean coach of Real Madrid, praised the party that made the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo against Villarreal and, after glossing over its dispute with Xabi Alonso for throwing a penalty, said “Always working to be a major player.”

Real Madrid coach sees Cristiano Ronaldo at his best this season. Rating each workout and the level which is offering at the meetings, Pellegrini said that Portuguese is in great physical condition.

“Cristiano Ronaldo did a very complete game against Villarreal. He did everything he could ask a player in the field: goals scored, got good centers, made him a penalty, did not stop running. It was a complete game. I’m glad for him, because he is always working to find ways to be a major player on the team, “he told a news conference.

And Pellegrini believes that’s it’s the perfect time to exploit the qualities of his player, benefited by the rest that took two months of injury when he damaged an ankle against Olympique Marseille in the group stage of Champions League. “He has not played much over the year. So right now I see him physically whole.

Pellegrini has warned his locker room to relax in danger of visiting a team from the lower area of classification, such as Tenerife.

“We have prepared the party of Tenerife giving it the importance it has. It is a very complicated team to Barcelona, Valencia and Seville, and playing good soccer. Be making a big mistake to think that we will rout and that we have secured three points” he said.
