NOT THE SORT OF HELP HE WAS LOOKING FOR:

Usain Bolt Tells Cristiano Ronaldo To ‘Stop Acting Like A Wuss’ (Goal.com, 4/05/09)

Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt has insisted that Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo needs to toughen up if he wants to improve.

Bolt is due to meet the Portuguese international in May and hand him some sprint training lesssons in an effort to make the 24-year-old even quicker.

However, speaking to The Observer, the Jamaican has admitted that he has some even more valuable advice that he wishes to impart to the Red Devil.

“The first thing I'm going to tell him: stop acting like a wuss,” he explained.

“Seriously, because the fact why his game is kind of down right now is because these guys are picking on him because he's so soft.”

GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Aston Villa (Agbonlahor 58) A drama just became a crisis. This has been coming. Ronaldo loses the ball tamely in the Villa half, doesn't bother to chase back, and it results in a goal. Carew teases Neville on the left side of the box and clips an excellent, curving ball into the six-yard box for Agbonlahor, who had run off the back of Evra, to head past Van der Sar. He took a whack from Van der Sar in the process and is getting treatment, but he looks okay. Ronaldo's contribution was risible there: shades of Veron against Chelsea in the 3-0 defeat in 2001.
