RONALDO: Challenges are always the most important thing for me. I turned down money for the 'sporting' challenge. I turned down more money to move to Saudi Arabia and the United States. I could even have stayed at Real but Milan offered me a new challenge and I accepted that challenge. My story has not finished yet.
I have no doubts, I have my history which has been really wonderful. However, this challenge happened and I am pleased to be here. There were difficult moments in the negotiations but from the moment I joined Milan I accepted this challenge.
I spent five good years in Milan and I still have a lot of friends here. Then, it's a joy to play for Milan, it's a dream for any player.
Of course, I expect the respect from everyone, from those who were with me but are no longer there. Respect is the most important thing, my time with Inter was really wonderful but it finished badly. I was sold almost on the demand of the coach and it finished there. I am now back for a new challenge, an exciting challege, hopefully I will do really well for the fans.
Everyone has to take their own route, I selected the road to Milan and hopefully I will do really well for this club and the people who have welcomed me with such affection. I wish Moratti or anyone who feels offended, 'good luck' in their life. I have picked my way forward.
I have always respected the rules, I have always trained, I don't understand certain things Sacchi has said. But people talk and that happens. I have won a lot of trophies and I have never been gifted anything. I have won everything with sweat and sacrifice, hopefully I will continue to do that.
I believe that just being at Milan is a great motivation. I returned down economic offers which were a lot higher, that's a great motivation. Rather than money, I want to show everyone who I still am.
I am very pleased, the fans have received me with really great affection and I am sure things will improve, and slowly and surely I will start to score goals.
I am not interested in what others have to say. I am here now. I haven't heard from Vieri but I expect to soon. I still have to find a house, get settled and train. I haven't had time to speak to my friends so it's been a bit more difficult second time around. I have heard from Berlusconi and I was very pleased to speak to him. The match against Roma didn't go well but I am sure things will change.
I haven't spoken to Dunga about my international future, but that depends on what I do on the pitch not in conversation. I don't know when I will play, that depends on the coach and the trainers. I haven't played a game for a month, I have had some tests and it is going well.
I can't play in the Champions League, but the objective is to finish fourth in the league. Hopefully, I will play in the Coppa America, but my first objective is to do well at Milan. It was difficult to leave Milan the first time around, my son stayed but it wasn't a problem as I could come back when I was free. Maybe this time is was a bit more difficult. I will miss my friends but I have a lot here. I am not interested about Juve being in Serie B, I am only interested in Milan now.
It has been a great investment and I am convinced that it will go well to pay it back. I have seen a great environment in the dressing room, between the players and the coach. It's been a long time since I have seen that. I had no problems with Capello, he just didn't have faith in me, I wasn't able to play, he didn't say why and I didn't ask. It was ugly and sad.
Me and Moratti always speak, I have never not taken his call. The last call was not to bring me to Inter, anyway, everything is in the past. I just think about scoring, not only about the derby. I am just back so I need time to see what has changed in Milan. However, I feel the same desire. There has been the same chat about my weight a thousand times, but it's not the most important thing for a footballer. The important thing is the lean mass to fat mass. I don't know how many goals I will score. I love to feel the responsibility, it's something I have always had in my life. I love playing. It's playing, not words that count.
Cassano knows what he needs to do. He's a good guy and a really great player. There will definitely be a lot of clubs in for him. I haven't had the chance to show what I can do over the last six months but hopefully I will here. I really want to do well. We all have the same objectives and of course it is pleasing to have Brazilians in the dressing room.
Ronaldinho-Ronaldo-Kakà? I don't know, I have just arrived and I have to win a place in the side so it would be disrespectful to my team-mates to ask for Ronaldinho. He's a great player but I have to win a place and then see if we can bring in some others.
