Ex-Napoli midfielder says his kids are limited to Real Madrid No.7 jerseys when supporting Portuguese star
Everton midfielder Allan has said his two children idolize Cristiano Ronaldo, but he won’t let them wear the Portuguese star’s Juventus shirt.
Allan recently shaved his hair in solidarity with nine-year-old Miguel, who suffers from alopecia.
Manuela, the daughter of Miguel and Allan, are both big fans of Ronaldo, although he only lets them wear their idol’s iconic Real Madrid jersey.
What did Allan say?
“Definitely he loves football, he always watches football, he always wears an Everton shirt and shirts from the other teams I have played for,” the former Napoli midfielder said, according to the Echo of Liverpool. “He’s my biggest motivator, him with my daughter at home.
“They are big fans of Cristiano Ronaldo, so he always had a Ronaldo shirt, but he is not allowed to have a Ronaldo Juventus shirt because they are huge rivals from Napoli, so there are a lot of Real Madrid jerseys n ° 7 at home. .
“It’s normal. Children always dream of scoring goals and idolize goal scorers, my son is no exception. ”
