Perfect Ronaldo is best in the world, says Perez

The Real Madrid president has
branded Kaka a "phenomenon" and
has high hopes that Carlo Ancelotti
can bring the Blancos the long-
awaited Decima
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is
confident that fans are yet to see the
peak of "best player in the world"
Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portugal forward, 28, is yet to sign
extend his contract beyond 2015 with the
club, triggering suggestions that he might
depart this summer for Manchester
United or, more recently, Monaco.
The lack of a new deal does not bother
the Blancos chief, however, who insists
that the attacker has a huge future with
the club.
"He is the face of the team and the best
player in the world," he told Gol Caracol
on Friday. "He is going to give us much
more satisfaction for his talent, ambition
and enthusiasm; and now he has reached
a perfect relationship with the fans.
"We are yet to see the best of him. He
can be the best of all time."
Perez is also keen to see Kaka, who has
been linked with a move away in recent
transfer windows, return to his best at
the Santiago Bernabeu, and he remains
confident that the Brazil international can
rediscover his Ballon d'Or-winning form.
He added: "He is a phenomenon. He was
injured after the [2010] World Cup and
had surgery on his knee and then [Mesut]
Ozil came and took place. But he is one of
the greats.
"On Twitter, after Cristiano, he has the
most followers [of any footballer]. He has
charm and thrills the fans. I am optimistic
that under Carlo Ancelotti, who knows
him well [from AC Milan], he will go back
to being the magical Kaka from when we
first signed him."
With the arrival of Ancelotti from Paris
Saint-Germain, Perez is hoping the club
can finally claim the elusive 10th top
European trophy this coming campaign.
"This season will begin a new phase
following the departure of Jose
Mourinho," he said. "We have another
coach, who is also very demanding and we
are very happy.
"Our signings are young and hungry,
which is necessary so that the big players
don't always get too comfortable. And
the mix will make the quality of Real
Madrid prevail over everyone.
"We will see if we will win the Decima,
which continues to elude us. Because, as
the first winners of the tournament, it is
something we have deep within our DNA;
it is a competition in which we thrive.
"The Champions League nights are
magical for the atmosphere and
excitement they generate. And to win the
title you have to be lucky, which we were
not in the last two season. Madrid have
to be able to beat everyone.
"We must not forget about La Liga,
though. We have to play well, even when
we win by a lot, because otherwise you
hear whispers in the Bernabeu. The fans
are very loyal, but blow cold or hot. They
are very demanding."
