Some struggle to cope with fame and adulation, but Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be taking it all in his stride.

Having been mobbed by adoring fans throughout Real Madrid's pre-season campaign, 'CR9' was asked yesterday whether the constant attention bothered him. Speaking to Marca, he replied philosophically, saying, "It is very easy to be Ronaldo."

"I am not changing my lifestyle.

"I like being Ronaldo."

Finally, Ronaldo was asked if he could return to America permanently at the end of his career, and he did not rule out a move to the land of stars and stripes.
