Cristiano Ronaldo is ready for the Confederations Cup: Portugal's talisman has a new haircut for the tournament and a pair of specially designed boots, so do not be in any doubt that he is taking it seriously.
Love him or loathe him, Ronaldo elevates every game he plays and every tournament he competes in simply by being there. The personalised touches with the boots, the hairstyle and whatever else he has planned, merely sprinkle a little more stardust in his wake.
Every competition needs a star player, and this Confederations Cup is already benefiting from the reflected glow of Ronaldo's presence.
