Cristiano Ronaldo enjoying life in Madrid

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo told Spanish television station Tele 5 that he was delighted with life at his new club.

"I am happy in Spain and I am adapting bit by bit, because people at the club have helped me a lot," said the player who cost 95 million euros from Manchester United during the summer.

Cristiano has scored seven goal in five games for his new club and Real Madrid is currently join top of the Primera Liga table with four wins from four matches.

"Everything is working out well. We are winning, scoring goals, especially me, and I have to thank my team mates for that," he commented, adding that he was glad to have put a nervous start to his Madrid career in the past.

"I was working as hard as I did at Manchester and bit by bit, I knew things would work out," he said.

The striker has quickly become a focus of attention for rival fans, who have tended to boo and whistle him when Madrid plays away from home.

"I am used to people whistling me, it's something that happens in football. But what I want is to do things better and to help the team," he said.

At the moment Real Madrid's play has compared badly with the football that title holders FC Barcelona have displayed. While Barcelona has moved the ball fluidly, Madrid has struggled in midfield and relied on the tremendous striking power of Ronaldo to win its four league matches to date.

Ronaldo said he admired the football displayed by Madrid's big rivals.

"It is a very good team and has some excellent players. The players all fit in well with each other, but at the end of the season we will see which is the better side," he said.
