The life of a star is not a long quiet river. Between sporting pressure and the scandals that could explode, the place of refuge to find energy is the family.
Cristiano Ronaldo does not depart from this assertion. The Portugal star has always relied on his people to reach the top and have an incredible career.
Here is an excerpt from the star’s love affair to her family.
« Georgina is a part of me. She has helped me so much.
Of course, I am in love with her. We’re gonna get married one day, that’s for sure. It is also my mother’s dream, so one day why not?
It’s great, she’s my friend. We are talking.
I opened her heart and she opened hers to me.
One day, Junior asked me for an iPhone, I refused. He wanted a phone to contact me, but I refused.
I told her to call on her grandmother’s phone.
I want to convey to Junior that he is fighting for something.
Education is the best gift I can give her.
I once took him to where I grew up.
He said to me, “Dad, have you lived here? He couldn’t believe it ”I really wanted him to see where I grew up. He already knew the Marques de Pombal residence in Madeira.
He rode with me and there were the same people living there already at the time.
It moved me, because I didn’t expect to see the same people. It really touched me.
Another moment that stood out for me was when I won the Champions League in Cardiff.
When I was in the field, after the final whistle, I felt like we had sent a message to the whole world.
But when Junior stepped onto the pitch to celebrate the title with me, it was like everything had changed in the snap of a finger. All my emotions had changed suddenly.
It reminds me of my years as a young player when I started playing pro at 17.
My mom could barely watch me play because of the stress.
She used to come to see me play at the old Jose Alvalade stadium and she was so nervous during the big games that she passed out several times, seriously, she was passing out.
Doctors started by prescribing sedatives for her so that she could watch my games.
My father was something else. When I was little, I played in the streets. My father saw me and wanted me to join the Andorinha FC youth team.
He took care of the club shirts and I knew it would have made him proud to play me there.
On the first day, there were a lot of rules that I didn’t understand, but I loved the feel, the feeling that came with winning.
My father was on the sidelines every game with his big beard and work clothes.
But my mother and my sisters don’t like football, so my father did everything to convince them to take an interest in it. He was like my first agent.
I can still see myself coming home with him and hearing him say: “Hey, Cristiano scored a goal ».
