RONALDO DENIES ANY MITHER WITH SMITH AT FULHAM

Last updated : 09 January 2005 By Editor

"I have never had any problem with any of my team-mates, and I want people to understand that.

"Nothing happened at Fulham. I admit I was angry at the end because we allowed them to level the game when we had been in control, but so was every player because we lost two points.

"I have good relations with everybody at the club. That is the truth.

"My English is improving quickly because I have a teacher and maybe when I can speak the language well it will be better for me. But there are no problems for me in Manchester.

"I accept at the moment I am not having a good spell.

"Everyone has his good and bad moments. While my form isn't good, I'll work to get it back. I'm a keen learner."

Ronaldo was so confident he would improve upon last season's six goals that he had a bet with Ferguson that he would reach double figures this season, but he said he remains confident his luck will change.

"It is still possible if my bad luck goes away.

"I have hit the post seven times this season already and that has been very frustrating."
