Cristiano Ronaldo Enjoys Downtime in Portugal

Finished up with his trip to the States, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted enjoying a sunny day in Vale do Lobo, Portugal on Monday (June 22).

The soccer stud graciously greeted press while outside of a rented house shared by family and friends.

Ronaldo is currently enjoying a little downtime before checking in for his duties with his new team, Real Madrid.

Of this, Cristiano told press: "I've done all the [medical] tests, all is well, everything perfect. This will be a challenge, but my career has always been made up of challenges. The expectations for me are great, but I am used to it.”

The reigning MVP continues, "Real Madrid is a club that is accustomed to winning, just like Manchester United. It will be good playing with Kaka, a great player who was the best in the world, but not only with him – also with Raúl, Guti and [Iker] Casillas. The beginning will be complicated. I was six years in Manchester and there the football is more physical, faster. Anyway, I think when we are good, we adapt ourselves to any kind of football. I expect to adapt quickly."
