Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is convinced they have
one hand on the Premier League trophy.
"We have five games left and we know that if we win the next
four we will win the league," he told MUTV. "We have five
cup finals left and we have to believe. I'm looking forward to
every game and I'm very confident we'll win the title again."
It was Ronaldo who began the sensational turnaround against
Tottenham on Saturday, calming slotting home a controversial
penalty 12 minutes after the break. With a buoyant Old Trafford
faithful roaring them on, the Reds were soon in front and heading
back to the top of the table.
"We know we didn't play well in the first half," admits Ronaldo.
"But the spirit was different after half-time. We were a lot
sharper and the players had more motivation. I was very happy with
my goals and delighted for my team-mates as well - Rooney, Tevez,
Berba - they all played fantastic.
"The atmosphere was absolutely brilliant in the second half and
the fans helped us win the game. When we are together like that,
the players and the supporters, you always know the result will
come."
