Why Julio Baptista has warned Real Madrid about Cristiano Ronaldo?
Julio Baptista has warned Real Madrid that they will find it hard to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, but says his former club need more than Portuguese to compete with Barcelona.
Cristiano does not play on his own, he plays with 10 other players,” he explained to Goal.
“He is phenomenal, but behind him he must have a team that is playing well too. It is normal for him to get the flak, because he is one of the best players in the world, but he cannot do anything alone.

“If the team does not find a way of playing that benefits his game, it makes no difference having any player in the team. They could have anyone in the world, and it wouldn’t work.
“The team is what has to function properly. If it can, Cristiano will be much better, as would any other player,” he pointed out. “It is a vital philosophy.”

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s ex teammate Deco says none of Real Madrid forward would get into the current Barcelona team.
I would sign Modric for Barca because his way of playing fits with the style that exists at the club,” he told Catalan newspaper Ara.
“He is a footballer who looks like [Andres] Iniesta and Xavi due to his way of playing, he has a similar style. The forwards [Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale] would not have a place at Barca.
“I can’t say too much from the outside, but he’s certainly a great player who is still growing,” Deco added.
“He’s on the way to becoming one of the best players in the world, and in the future he could be No 1 because he’s an incredible talent that plays for a big club.
“Messi has helped a lot with his adaption as well.”
