Turks promise no special treatment for Ronaldo

Turkey goalkeeper Rustu Recber claims Brazilian star Ronaldo will not get any special treatment from his side.

The two sides open their World Cup campaigns against each other on June 3 but Recber is adamant that the Turks will not worry about individuals.

‘‘We are not tuned to a specific player or players,’’ said Recber. ‘‘We do what our coach tells us.’’

Ronaldo announced his return from a long battle against injury by scoring his first international goal in three years as Brazil beat Malaysia 4-0 on Saturday.

But Recber said: ‘‘We don’t specifically examine any player.

‘‘Even if we lose the Brazil game, we still have two more games to play. Our chance would still be there.

‘‘However, Brazil’s loss to us would be a big disappointment to them and they may not be ready to recover.’’
