Cristiano Ronaldo(CR7) was never a target, says Borussia Dortmund’s managing director

-

Borussia Dortmund managing director Carsten Cramer has cleared that the Bundesliga team did not pursue a move for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese international’s Manchester United contract was terminated following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.



Dortmund had been heavily linked with Ronaldo last summer.

Cramer, while speaking to the German magazine Kicker, said that Dortmund’s value does not “depend on social media followers.”

“The value of Borussia Dortmund does not depend on social media followers,” he said.

“We are a football club, that’s the key. We can have the best ideas in marketing, but if we lose 3-0 at home to Freiburg, it doesn’t work.

“Even with the best brand presentation, the be-all and end-all is the product.”

After being linked with several clubs, Ronaldo has signed by Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr for a reportedly £177m per year.

Earlier, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl too had denied the claims that the club wanted to sign Ronaldo.

“Cristiano Ronaldo will not move to Borussia Dortmund. This is so,” he told the German newspaper Bild at the time.

“The click figures were probably outstanding but we have done a few things over the past days to pin down this rumor.

“[Ronaldo is] certainly a fantastic player, a world footballer. But if it is said that he is missing the Bundesliga, then that is not our issue.”

Virat Kohli’s Sachin Tendulkar-like gritty knock gave India hope before it was snatched away

-

  Virat Kohli  stood there dazed, frozen, disbelieving what his ears and eyes told him. The LED stump lights were flashing after he had inside-edged Pat Cummins onto his stumps. A roaring Australian captain had long run past him. For some reason, Kohli had a despairing look towards square-leg before he reluctantly began to drag himself away from the crime scene. On a very sluggish pitch where every batsman is bound to struggle, he had played a peach of a knock, but couldn’t convert it to a substantial contribution. Later in the innings, a reverse-swinging away-shaper from Mitchell Starc would consume  KL Rahul , and the Indian innings began to meander. The hosts huffed and puffed to an inadequate 240, being bowled out for the first, and only, time in the World Cup. That the Indians managed just four boundaries after the first Powerplay indicated how much control the Australians exuded. The over a lakh Indian fans, who had for over a month got used to India’s overwhelming ...

 McLaren  looks set for another tough start to a Formula One season after missing car development targets over the winter. McLaren started 2022 on the back foot after encountering brake issues in the Bahrain preseason test and has had a quiet start to the same test this year, which runs until Saturday. At the launch of its new car the team admitted it was not entirely happy with the launch specification design and CEO Zak Brown has said he is braced for the team being off its target in the competitive order when the season starts in Bahrain on March 5. When asked where he anticipated McLaren would start the year, Brown said: “It’s hard to know until we get going. We already set some goals for development, which we didn’t hit. “We felt it was better to be honest about that. Like everyone we have a lot of development coming so we are encouraged by what we see around the corner. I think we will be going into the first race of our projected targets and it’s hard to know exactly wh...
