Atalanta Bergamo achieved a sensation at the end of January 2019. In the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, the Lombards defeated the eternal champions Juventus Turin 3-0. Robin Gosens then went on a jersey hunt, he wanted to secure Cristiano Ronaldo’s jersey.

“After the game against Juve, I tried to fulfill another dream and pick up the CR7 jersey. That would have been an absolute highlight in my collection,” writes Gosens in his recently published book “Dreaming is worth it – my slightly different way to Professional soccer player “.

Gosens continues: “After the final whistle, I immediately got on my socks and failed to attend the cheering crowd, which was rightly formed – priorities have to be set, friends. CR7, however, didn’t feel like me at all . “

Ronaldo is known to be an extremely ambitious guy. In the past, some of his opponents have reported that the Portuguese could not speak well after defeats and did not swap jerseys.

“When I got to him and asked: ‘Cristiano, can I maybe have your Jersey?’, He didn’t even look up, but just said ‘No!’ While walking on. Ouch! and even felt ashamed for a brief moment, “Gosens remembers that moment.

The German international was incredibly embarrassed in the aftermath, but tried to smoothly cover the situation. “It didn’t matter, after all, we had just thrown Juve out of the cup,” thought Gosens, who still hasn’t given up his dream of the CR7 jersey.

“Maybe I actually just pissed him off. That’s why Cristiano: If you want to make a young man happy afterwards, the club’s address is: Corso Europa 46, 24040 Ciserano. Greetings,” writes Gosens.
