Cristiano Ronaldo Cursing His Luck After Witch's Spell - Report
The world's most expensive player has been tackled by something other than an opposing player...
22-Oct-2009 4:03:51 PM
Cristiano Ronaldo may put fans under his spell with his magic and trickery on the ball, but he is now the subject of a curse that a witch claims is going to ruin his career.
The Portuguese star has been ruled out for four weeks with an ankle injury, and though many felt it was down to a hefty tackle, there may be more to it than that.
Pepe the witch has been talking regularly to the media about the spell that he was paid around €14,700 to cast on Ronaldo by a former lover of the Real Madrid star.
Describing the woman as a "jilted lover", "non-European" and "a very wealthy heiress form a well-known family", Pepe has told AS that he is the reason behind several of the player's recent problems.
A car crash earlier this year and a groin injury suffered after the end of last season were just forerunners for what the player is now experiencing.
One thing that is perplexing people in Spain and Portugal is that Pepe stated that he would injure the player before he suffered his ankle problem against Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League.
That issue was then aggravated during Portugal's World Cup qualifier against Malta, and now Ronaldo's mother is reported to have hired another witch to counteract the curse on her son.
Pepe has made headlines again by stating that he now aims to end Ronaldo's career, but that he has refused to do the same to Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
If Ronaldo is superstitious then this could be a dent to his confidence as he looks to return from the injury, which will see him miss another three weeks of action.
