Real Madrid coach Capello meets Ronaldo.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has met with Ronaldo for the first time since his appointment.

The pair spoke for 15 minutes at Real's main gym, where Ronaldo was training as he recovers from knee surgery.

"I trust you and you are very important for this team," Capello told Ronaldo. "But I want you at your peak and very focused.

"There is no worth to me having a 50 per cent Ronaldo."

Ronaldo replied to his new boss: "I am at my best. I have great desire to work and to train as soon as possible with the team.

"You can trust me."
