Table of Contents
New Blackburn Rovers signing Míchel Salgado has revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo convinced him to move to Ewood Park.
The 33-year-old right-back signed a two-year deal with the Lancashire club this week after a successful trial with the club.
Salgado had offers to move to the Emirates or Qatar having left Real Madrid but opted for Blackburn following a conversation with Ronaldo, whom he knows during their few weeks together at the Bernabéu.
He said in The Sun: "When I told Cristiano I was thinking of joining Blackburn he assured me I would enjoy it.
"He said the English league is incredible and it was a great chance for me to come over here for two years.
"Cristiano said I'd like the way of life. There is a theory that the weather is bad and life is boring - but he assured me that's not the reality.
"He said I'd live well, enjoy the food and the work you do at clubs in England is ideal."
