Real Madrid concerned about the continuous trips of Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portuguese made repeat visits during the week to Morocco, leaving Madrid at three in the afternoon and returning in the evening.


A couple of weeks ago Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo showed us in social networks its luxurious whim: a private jet for which he paid 19 million euros and since then has parked at the airbase of Torrejon de Ardoz, not away from the Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas.

The first trip he took with him was the premiere of his own documentary that took place in London on November 10. Now, according to point in extraconfidencial.com , the ship is becoming a headache for Real Madrid.

As noted by the digital medium, Ronaldo makes use of the Gulfstream G200 almost daily basis, using the afternoon they have no training or game to travel to Morocco, where his friend Badr Hari, a renowned Amsterdam-born kickboxer who won praise lives and the king's favour Mohhamed VI of Morocco for its achievements in the martial art under the banner of the African country.

The jet can reach a speed of 869 km / h, allowing you to make the Madrid - Rabat tour in less than two hours.

Taking six points behind Barcelona in La Liga, having recently been humiliated by the rival, weathering constant questions about the bad relationship between the coach and certain members of staff, not to forget the disappointment of the fans before the game offered by the team, you really do not have anything more important the Real Madrid to worry that by making one of his players at your leisure without breaking the internal rules of the club? Maybe if scorer Cristiano Ronaldo off and the meringues were at the top of the table this kind of news does not come to light.

Faustino Asprilla: I want to be manager

Brilliant, eccentric and funny. Controversial, concise and transparent. 

So Faustino Asprilla, one of the best players in the world of '90s As usual, "Tino" held nothing back and left little to the imagination of readers of Yahoo Sports. 

 Faustino, How is his life and where he is? I'm fine, I live in Tulua - Valle del Cauca, Colombia am based here in my land for years. I am dedicated to various businesses, mainly with my land. Newest thing I have is the brand of condoms that will take, TINO name. They are almost ready, missing some adjustments and introduce to the market soon. 

- After being a footballer we have seen in several aspects, such as participating in reality shows, as a commentator and even model. Have you ever imagined about it or have been a twist of fate? He has always liked to improvise, learn, try new things. The experience that I liked was to work as a commentator on the world happened because one lives very nice experience when he gets in that role; before that one believes that journalists just sit to talk, to watch the game and ready, but it is not like that. It is a job that requires a lot of organization, preparation and time consuming; while we burn only time players concentration on technical talk and 90 minutes of the game, you journalists are before and after every tournament and every match, generating it quite exhausting profession where, as I said before, the players believe they are just sitting and talking already. Provided many hours of commitment that leads him, but the truth is that I loved and I would love to repeat it. 

- Why not continued to work with football? I think there is much one go from being played football player a coach is a complicated and different stage, are very different. One must have patience and above all not to be compared with players who are heading. For example, I myself made ​​that mistake with the smaller divisions I had here in Tulua, because he sought to return the boys like me and you can not pretend that because all players are different; I despaired lot and told them to many: "Do this because I did and you can too," and it is not, as I said before each player is different. To me it has cost me greatly to section off-court player to be coach beyond. I also believe that a technician must have driving skills group, motivating and even a tiny role of psychologist, because we handle athletes is easy and sometimes it takes patience, know about taking situations and endure many things that happen.
