我的朋友也是我的經理人 — 門德斯
人生中總有一些衝動的事跡，我們必須聰明地制止這一切發生，深呼吸，想清楚並選
擇一個理智的方式解決。
在我和魯尼的事情上引起爭議後，這是我最該做的事情。我趕緊宣佈決定留在曼聯以
避免一些不必要的猜疑。我說過的我將會負起應該的責任，如果我說了一些刺耳的話，表
示我當時不夠冷靜，每個人總有錯的時候。
慶幸的，鬧劇的結局還是美好的。早前我說過弗格森爵士是左右我留在曼徹斯特的原
因，事實上還有一位頗具份量的人物－我的經理人門德斯。
17歲那年我遇上了門德斯，我很迅速地瞭解站在我面前的人是怎樣的人，我明白他將
會竭盡所能為我足球事業上帶來各種機緣。同時我也認為他將是我生命中的好人好夥伴，
所以我願意把我的所有交給他，因為我相信。我們已經共事了接近5年，我們的關係真不
像是一個經理人和足球員之間該有的關係，我們是好朋友是最真摯的好友，我真的很喜歡
這個朋友。他是我的咨詢師，甚至是我自信的來源之一，我全心全意地相信他接受他的支
持。每每需要幫忙是，門德斯總是二話不說站起來支持我，不斷開解我。門德斯總是出現
在最合適的時機，幫助我解決窘境。他是那種願意永遠為我設想，幫助我的好友，他在我
心裡佔有特別的地位。
一個夏天假期，我花費了一部分的時間給了門德斯和我們的家人，我們相處了很長的
時間。雖然有些時候我們不是混在一起，但一定會靠手機聯繫，我們幾乎每天都在做這檔
事。世界盃英格蘭的比賽後我很擔心，心裡不斷問起「去還是留？」。門德斯正經八百地
給了我人生中一個很佔據份量的建議，他不斷強調我應該留在曼聯。「平靜地對待，別太
急。曼聯是最適合你的球會，留在曼聯將會證明我是對還是錯的。」這句話我幾乎都從門
德斯的嘴中聽到。
我聽取了他的意見，但最終決定權還是在我手中，尤其在這事情中。最後我還是認為
他的意見是對的。假期即將結束是，我和弗格森爵士和吉爾在阿爾加夫進行了一次會談。
最後我還是感謝門德斯給我的意見，最後就像大家所見的我留在曼聯了，這無疑是最佳的
決定，現在我能證實這是對的。

一個露宿在我家門口的的荷蘭女人
我能向大家保證曼聯球迷永遠都是世上最佳的球迷，最佳的球會支持者。自我第一天
踏入老特拉福德球場至那件事情發生後，他們都非常慷慨無私地給予我最大的支持。
我瞭解他們都來自不同地區，不同種族，不同的類別，可是他們做的都超出我的預料
之中。與其他球會球迷相比下來，他們支持球會的方式都大有不同。他們似乎和球員不存
在一絲隔膜，當主場贏得比賽他們大方地站起來為球員們喝彩。最好的例子與葡萄牙相比
起是我感受到不同的文化。
無論在大街小巷，在酒店餐館，總會見到一大群支持者不羞澀地在我面前唱起讚歌。
起初讓我感覺到有些困擾，現在我已經習以為常認為這是自然不過的事了，理由非常簡單
因為他們喜歡我，想讓我有開心的感覺。
然而幾年前曾發生一些事情讓我很不自在。一個很「囧」的事情發生了，一位荷蘭女
人在我家門前公然搭起帳篷。當天我表弟努諾與我都準時7時正起床，我們驚訝極了，我
們聽見門鈴聲響起，但不是在大門前，而是在我家正門口。「我在作夢是吧？」我不斷這
樣想，但這門鈴聲響起超過一次，我意識到這並不是夢境。我們從窗口探頭出去看，大門
外並沒有人，我和努諾對望了似乎心靈相通地說起︰「不可能吧，有人爬進來了」。從努
諾的寢室能看見庭園，我們看見一個女人，身穿黑色雨衣年齡介於20歲。努諾下樓，試探
情形，原來那女人是專程來找我的。靈機的努諾說「羅納爾多出門訓練了」，但那女人繼
續站著並沒有離開的意思。
努諾英文能力有限，情急之下我們決定撥電給我們住英好幾年的朋友羅格雷奧前來支
援。不出半小時，羅格雷奧到了並向該女人說：「羅納爾多在訓練，他並不會立即回來，
希望你能理解。而且天氣又冷且下雨，似乎不適合留下。」羅格雷德說服她若離開必答應
她把羅納爾多帶到酒店去，隨後他把那女人送到酒店了。
很顯然，我沒有到酒店去見該女子，我不懂她來這的意圖。就像我們所見的，她很陌
生。不久以後，我出門訓練了，當我回到家門口又打算出去時又見那女人再次接近我家門
口。我已沒有想法，但羅格雷奧認為我應該出去打聲招呼。普見面，那女人就告訴我當我
到荷蘭曾經用特別的眼神望著她，從此她決定把她獻給我了。
事情演變的越來越神奇，從鄰居口裡打聽的消息，她已在門前徘徊好幾天了。鄰居見
這不尋常舉動，便主動前往探問，結果就是剛剛所說的。這女人來自風車國，並且沒錢沒
地方住。好心的鄰居讓她暫住板屋。這女人意志力真堅強，她非羅納爾多不見。經過一輪
的討論，羅格雷奧負責獲得她母親電話好讓我與她溝通。豈知從她母親口中獲知允許女兒
隻身到曼徹斯特找我。我歎道：「太不可置信了！太瘋狂了！」
我給了羅格雷奧200英鎊，並要求他帶荷蘭女人到機場，為她買機票確定她登機回荷
蘭。「OK…所有事情已妥當。」電話另一頭的羅格雷奧向我證實。但事情並不是這麼就過
了，不足一個月，努諾正打算出門，竟又看見那荷蘭女人。「Hey?!」努諾表情驚訝當他
看見荷蘭女人再次坐在我家門前。她再次爬進我們家裡，進入庭園再次宿營在我家門前。
我再次麻煩羅格雷奧把她帶到飯店，實在是令人哭笑不得，過一會兒有見她在我們家面前
。外頭停泊著一輛計程車，在開門的那剎那，熟悉的聲音：「Surprise!」。這次我從容
地走出門外，恐嚇她若不離開我將報警，並告訴她將不會在我身上獲取什麼。看似她已經
被說服了，從此以後她沒有再回來了，這對雙方面都是好事情。

My friend and managing agent, Jorge Mendes
There are moments in life when we all react on an impulse when it would be
wiser to stop, take a breath and think in a more sensible and rational way.
That is what I should have done after all that controversy concerning Rooney
and me. I acted in haste when I said there were no circumstances under which
I would stay at Manchester United. I said things I would not have said if I
had just calmed down. Everyone makes mistakes.
The story had a happy ending. I said earlier that Alex Ferguson personally
was one of the deciding reasons for me to stay at United. But there was
another one, equally decisive: my agent Jorge Mendes.
I was 17 years old when I met him, but I recognized almost immediately what
kind of person I had in front of me. I understood that his only goal was
to support me and help me to evolve in my career. Above all, in no time I
understood that he was a good man and a friend for life. So I put all my
trust in him. We have now worked together for five years on a daily basis.
We do not simply have a manager/football player relationship; we are good
and sincere friends. Jorge is a great friend, of whom I am very fond; he is
also a counselor and, sometimes, a confident. I trust in him with all my
heart. He helped me a lot when I needed it, because there was a time when
someone who could only think of his own interests was trying to exploit me
and I didn't want to even waste my time with that person. Jorge appeared at
the right moment to help me out of that situation. He is a friend who helps
me to make long-term decisions in my life. He will always have a special
place in my heart for all he means to me.
I spent part of my last summer holidays with Jorge Mendes and both our
families. We have spent a lot of time together. And whenever I was not
physically with him then contact would be made by telephone and that
would happen almost every day. I was worried after that match with England.
"Do I stay, or do leave?" I would question myself, time and time again.
Jorge gave me very serious advice at the end of the World Cup and he always
emphasized his opinion: that I should stay with United. "Do things calmly.
Do not rush. Manchester is the right club for you. Stay at United and then
you will see if I am right or not," he would repeat almost every day.
I listened to his advice, but the final decision had to be mine. The last
word was always mine, regardless of the subject in question. Later I
recognized that he did give the right advice. The holidays were about to
end when we had a meeting with Alex Ferguson and David Gill, president of
United, in The Algarve. It was thanks to Jorge's advice that I ended up
deciding to stay at Manchester United. It was undoubtedly the right decision.
And now we have the confirmation.

A Dutch woman camped on the doorstep
I can assure you without any doubt that the Manchester United supporters are
the best in the world. Ever since the first day I have felt they are very
kind and supportive to me.
I knew they were a different kind of supporter, but they did exceed my
expectations. And there is no equivalent in the support they give to
the team, in comparison with what happens in other clubs. They do not
discriminate between players, they give us standing ovations even when
we are defeated in some matches at home. It is, in fact, a different
culture; quite different from what happens in Portugal, for instance.
In the street or in a restaurant, there is always a bold supporter who
does not feel inhibited to sing my praises in front of everyone. At first
I was a little embarrassed, but now I face these occasions in an absolutely
natural way. It happens because they like me and that makes me feel happy.
However, about a year ago something not very natural occurred – an awkward
situation when a Dutch woman decided to camp, literally in front of my house.
One day, my cousin Nuno and I were woken up at 7 am. To our surprise, the
bell we had heard was not that of the outer gate, but that of the front door.
"I must be dreaming," I thought. But I wasn’t. we heard the bell more than
once and I was definitely for real. We went to the window, looked at the gate
but could not see anyone. We looked at each other. "Impossible! Someone has
jumped the gate," we cried out. From Nuno’s bedroom we could see the garden
and that was when we saw a woman, aged in her twenties, wearing a black
raincoat, at the front door. Nuno went down, opened the door and the woman
asked for me. "Ronaldo is training," my cousin said, but the woman stood
right there, in the garden, refusing to leave.
As Nuno's English is basic, we decided to call, with the utmost urgency, our
friend Rogerio who has lived in England for some years. Half an hour later,
Rogerio arrived, and tried to get rid of her: "Ronaldo is training, he will
not come back for a while, so you had better leave. It is no good staying
here, in the cold and rain." Then he put her in his car to take her to a
hotel, persuading her to leave the house with the promise that he would take
me there in the afternoon.
Obviously I never went to meet that lady in the hotel. I did not know what
her intentions were! In view of what she had done, this was all very strange.
I went training, returned home and we were just preparing to leave when we
saw the very same woman close to the gate. I was not sure what to du, but
Rogerio felt I ought to say "hello". Then she told me a great story – that
I had been in Holland and had looked at her in a very special way… and she
had saved herself for me. But she would not go away from my door.
This story became a lot more fantastic than that. We heard she had already
been at my house the day before. A neighbor, thinking that this was a strange
occurrence, had talked to her and heard the same story she later told me.
She came from Holland just to meet me, she had no money and no place to stay.
My neighbor had taken her to a boarding house and left her there. But she did
not give up. After a lot of talking, Rogerio managed to get her mother's
telephone number and I made the call. Her mother confirmed that she came to
Manchester just to see me. "I cannot believe this, it is crazy," I said.
I gave Rogerio ￡200 and asked him to take her to the airport, buy her a
plane ticket to return to Holland then make sure she got on the plane.
"Okay, everything is solved," Rogerio confirmed. This was a relief but not
for very long. Less than a month later, my cousin was just leaving the house
and was faced with… the Dutch girl. "Hey?!" Nuno exclaimed when he saw her
sitting at the door waiting for us. She had jumped the outer gate again, had
entered the garden and camped right in front of the house. Rogerio again took
her to a hotel, but she returned at exactly the moment when we were leaving
the house. There was a taxi parked in the street and, all of a sudden the
door opened and we heard an already familiar famine voice saying: "Surprise!"
By this time I was running out of patience. We threatened to call the
police, telling her that it was no use persisting because she would not get
anything from me. She seemed to be convinced because she never came back
again, happily both her and us.
