Jul 14, 2009 4:50:07 PM

More On :  Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo
CR9... will be asked for exactly 9 autographs per second he spends in a public place.

CR9... will spend at least 9 full minutes of any given match avoiding the outstretched leg of a Fernando Navarro or a Pablo Orbaiz.

CR9... will be seen wearing 9 different flowers in his hair, but not one will be the hard-to-find Clematis.
Don't Miss

CR9... will cry nine times if he fails to get his hands on the Champions League trophy. (Multiply this by nine if it's at the expense of Manchester United.)


Decisions, decisions

CR9... will be asked around 9 times at each press conference about his relationship with Raul.

CR9... will give 9 different variants on 'no comment' to the above.

CR9... will throw his shirt 9 feet forward onto the ground if he's subbed off early in the Clasico.

CR9... will spend 9 whole days practicing his keepie-ups for next time he's faced with the media's cameras.


One... two... three... damn! One... two...

CR9... will, when showboating against a doomed Sporting Gijon or similar squad, attempt 9 consecutive step-overs before attempting a cross, the resulting leg-tangle requiring a tub of vaseline and the Jaws of Life to repair.

CR9... will remove his shirt around 9 times in each summer training session in order to treat the ladies of Ireland/Madrid to the 'gun show.'

CR9... will don 9 different colours of boots. Per match.

CR9... would do well to go at 9mph, eschewing 90mph, when approaching a tunnel in his Ferrari.
