The United winger was presented with the award by Sir Alex Ferguson at Carrington on Monday. The 23-year-old scored an incredible 42 goals on his way to helping United reach a Premier League and Champions League Double.
"To be recognised by my fellow players is amazing," he said. "I would like to thank my team-mates and coaches and everyone involved at United and the national team, as well as my family and friends for their support."
Reds boss Sir Alex handed Ronaldo the award and said that he hoped there were many more like it to come at OId Trafford. It’s the first of what is expected to be a string of global awards for the Portuguese attacker, who has also been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.
Ronaldo was also named in the FIFPro World Team of the Year, as was his team-mate Rio Ferdinand, who collected the honours for their achievements from Professional Footballers Association chief Gordon Taylor.
ManUtd.com tagged along to see the trophy presentation, and we'll bring you more from Ronaldo later this afternoon.
FIFPro team: Casillas (Real Madrid); Ramos (Real Madrid), Terry (Chelsea), Ferdinand (United), Puyol (Barcelona); Gerrard (Liverpool), Kaka (AC Milan), Xavi (Barcelona), Messi (Barcelona); Torres (Liverpool), Ronaldo (United).
FIFPro is the world-wide umbrella organisation for the Professional Football Association around the globe, and includes more than 40 associations meaning that thousands of players registered their votes for these awards.
Banyak sekali hal-hal yang tidak tertulis dalam peraturan namun dalam kenyataan sangat dipegang. Contoh; ketuk pintu saat hendak memasuki ruangan. Pastilah kertas peraturan semakin penuh jika setiap peraturan tidak tertulis ikut ditulis. Sayangnya masih ada saja beberapa koas yang mungkin lupa kalau ada hal tersebut. Oleh karena itu kewajiban bagi koas yang ingat untuk mengingatkan. Kalau yang lupa tidak mau mengingatkan, semoga Tuhan mengingatkannya. Namun, kita di sini tidak membahas peraturan tak tertulis melainkan tips tak tertulis. Beberapa tempo lalu -- di sini -- aku telah menuliskan bagaimana koas dituntut untuk memiliki inisiatif. Namun sayangnya, pendidikan kita tidak sinergis untuk mendidik kami menjadi pribadi inisiator. Contoh? Ada bagian dimana salah menginisiasi berakibat fatal, lebih baik manggut-manggut angguk-angguk. Lalu hadirlah artikel ini yang semoga dapat membantu Anda jika ingin IPD lebih bermanfaat. Tentunya pembaca lain sangat diundang untuk berbagi ...
