Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said Cristiano Ronaldo would enjoy a big boost in his career if he joined European champions Barcelona. "Barcelona would hugely enjoy having Cristiano in their team because he would complement Ronaldinho perfectly," the Brazilian was quoted as saying by The Sun on Monday. "For Cristiano, the Barcelona climate would be important, most days are sunny and it's hardly ever cold like England. The 22-year-old Portugal winger enjoys his most successful campaign with Manchester United, scoring 15 goals as his side bid for their first Premiership title since 2003.
Scolari World Cup winner Scolari also warned Ronaldo of going the other way as Real Madrid were reportedly interested in the emerging star. "Cristiano needs to move somewhere where the team is an integral part of the club, not somewhere where the system is based on individual heroes or stars," he said. "Moving to a club where there are four or five 'stars' who do their own thing is unworkable."
