DAVID JAMES admits Cristiano Ronaldo has turned into a free-kick
genius.
Portsmouth keeper James was beaten by a 25-yard Ronaldo rocket in
Manchester Uniteds 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
And former England keeper James admitted: He is a b*****d!
I tried to do some work on saving free-kicks in training on Friday
because I know how deadly he can be but there is no way you can
stop him.
He hits an unbelievable ball and as soon as you go to try and save
it, its in the back of your net.
You know when he steps up he is going to absolutely spank it but
you cannot read the flight of the ball.
He puts no swerve on it but when he strikes it well, he hits with
so much power there is only place it is going to end up.
James admits Pompey could have been on the end of a worse hammering
in the game that marked Alex Fergusons 20th anniversary at
United.
James admitted: We got battered. They had so much possession and
so many opportunities.
