Cristiano Ronaldo gave his former
coach one more dazzling display of his
skills, and delivered a trophy to Real
Madrid in the process. Ronaldo scored a pair of highlight
goals, lifting Real Madrid to a 3-1
victory over Chelsea in the final of the
Guinness International Champions
Cup on Wednesday night. Marcelo Vieira also scored for Real,
which became the event's inaugural
champion by topping a Chelsea club
now being coached by Jose Mourinho.
He left Madrid earlier this year for a
return to Chelsea, and after years of enjoying watching Ronaldo frustrate
opponents, it was Mourinho who
couldn't find a way to stop him. Ramires scored for Chelsea, which
posted a pair of shutouts to get into
the championship match before
67 273 fans at Sun Life Stadium, home
of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. The colorful Mourinho took what were
considered a few subtle jabs at Real
Madrid leading up to the Guinness
final, though Ronaldo took the high
ground when asked about his former
coach. After all, this was supposed to be merely an exhibition between two
strong teams, part of their preseason
preparations. The way they played certainly didn't
suggest this one was meaningless. ''I would expect those two teams to
play it seriously,'' said Los Angeles
Galaxy forward Landon Donovan,
whose team fell to AC Milan earlier
Wednesday in the third-place match of
the eight-team event. Donovan was proven correct. With the match tied at 1 in the 30th
minute, Ronaldo was the recipient of a
hard foul from behind by Branislav
Ivanovic. Ronaldo merely smiled as he
sat on the turf, adjusting his uniform
while most of the other players convened for a bit of shouting. Ronaldo got his revenge on the
resulting free kick. From about 25
yards, his strike curled to the left,
sneaking just under the crossbar and
off the fingertips of diving goalkeeper
Petr Cech. And in the 57th minute, Ronaldo
struck again, perfectly timing his run
toward the goal line and sending in a
header for a two-goal advantage. That
left Mourinho with a blank expression,
and the outcome essentially decided. Ronaldo had the crowd frenzied at
that point, including one fan who got
onto the field later in the game.
Wearing a Ronaldo jersey, he was able
to not just get to the Real Madrid star,
but wrap him in an embrace near the sideline and share some words for
several seconds before police officers
escorted the man off the field. Real opened the scoring in the 14th
minute. Vieira dribbled into the
penalty area and skipped a shot
through defender Gary Cahill and into
the right side of the net. Chelsea got the equalizer quickly.
Ramires split two defenders and went
in against goalkeeper Iker Casillas,
who charged off his line to cut down
the angle. His effort was in vain, as
Ramires flicked the ball softly over him and into the net. Chelsea had three great chances in the
first seven minutes of the second half
to tie it again, the best of those when
Eden Hazard got behind a defender
and carried the ball in alone against
Casillas. The keeper sprung off his line to make the save and protect the one-
goal lead. Ronaldo's second goal came five
minutes later. mobi.supersport.com/football/pre-season-tour/news/130808/Ronaldo_powers_Real_past_Chelsea

must u quote the whole post? Mtsheww.

Yea, I agree Mou was humbled. But it is still a friendly tournament. Guardiola beat Barca 2-0 in a similar pre-season game but when it got to a real match Dortmund took them to the cleaners. Let's wait for the season to start proper then judge Mou!

Mou...paving way for his exit.

Mourinho: i have coached Ronaldo(the real Ronaldo not Cristiano).

Ronaldo has now proven to him he is a masterclass in the world of his own.

action speaks louder than voice


GO CRISTIANO RONALDO

Mourinho is not good at his 'mind game' again.
