"He's got his ideas and I hope together we'll be able to win many things," Ronaldo said.

The Portuguese winger said he got on very well with his future teammate Kaka, calling him a truly great player, adding that he was "very sure" he would be compatible with the Brazilian.

He also paid tribute to Karim Benzema, who is joining from Lyon, and said he hoped to create plenty of goals for the France striker.

Ronaldo said he would be sharing a changing room at the club with fellow Portugal player Pepe. "Pepe is my friend, almost brother. For a time, we were at Sporting Lisbon together and he has lived in Madeira," he said.

Ronaldo believes the spending spree under way by club president Florentino Perez means that the Spanish Liga is now a better competition than its English equivalent.

"With the signings Florentino Perez has made the Spanish league has become superior to the English Premiership," Ronaldo said.
