The Liverpool-Manchester United Premier League match on Tuesday night, which was won by Jürgen Klopp with four trophies to score 4-0, was a touching scene when the game came to a brief halt in the seventh minute of the match and the two teams together expressed their condolences with sympathetic applause Cristiano Ronaldo due to the death of his newborn baby son. (The Portuguese striker plays in jersey # 7, but he wasn’t there at Anfield for obvious reasons.)

In connection with the tragic death, The Sun, with the help of a psychologist, recalled Ronaldo’s miserable childhood, in the past looking for the answer to why the family is so important to the 37-year-old world star and why he takes special care to try to be the ideal father for his five children. His photos and videos, which are fondly published on social media, show the public the image of a model parent.
Ronaldo currently lives in his Cheshire villa near Manchester, which he bought for £ 3 million (£ 1.35 billion), with his partner Georgina and now five children, but he never forgets where he came from.
as a toddler, she had to share a single bedroom with her three brothers, and was often so hungry that she begged for burgers from chefs at the back exit of a nearby McDonald’s store in her hometown of Funchal.

Little Ronaldo, who was named after the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, was raised by his self-sacrificing mother, Dolores, practically alone, as the family could not count on a drunken father. According to a psychologist spoken by The Sun, the negative, deterrent example may have contributed to Ronaldo’s almost sickly effort to give everything to his children.
Ronaldo was the last of four children to be born, but it was not long before he was born.
They lived in such poverty that Dolores wanted to abandon the fetus because the earnings of the father, José Dinis Aveiro, who worked as a part-time gardener, were not enough to feed four children.

In the end, however, the little boy was born – for the good of the world’s football and the millions of fans.
Ronaldo’s father returned from Angola’s colonial war, where he served in the Portuguese army as a conscript, struggling with severe mental health problems. As a semi-disabled person, he could not get a regular job, he could not process the horrors he experienced during the Angolan war, and he fled almost legally to alcoholism.
José got drunk every day, he was almost never home, I really missed him anyway. Unfortunately, alcohol distorted his personality, even though he was a good person, he never hurt children, he was more frustrated, Dolores recalled in his autobiography “Mother Courage.”
In an interview with Piers Morgan, ITV’s star reporter three years ago, Ronaldo talked about begging for burgers with other street kids at nearby McDonald’s, so hungry.

I remember one of the chefs was called Edna, she always smuggled us a hamburger. Years later, I wanted to find it, but I couldn’t find it, ”the footballer revealed in the interview.
José, to supplement his horticultural earnings, took a ceremonial job at the local football club, through which Ronaldo joined the Funchal association, thus starting his football career. However, the father was no longer able to reach the end of his son’s career, at most his initial success, as he died of cirrhosis in 2005, when Ronaldo had been playing for Manchester United for two years.
confesses that Ronaldo does not consume a single sip of alcohol, is strictly abstinent, and the psychologist says this is clearly a consequence of the daunting paternal example. His mother, Dolores, said his son was saved from football by football.

I’m almost certain if it weren’t for football, my son would sooner or later have become addicted to drugs, as many of his childhood friends did, he writes in his book.
But luckily there was football, and Ronaldo became one of the greatest footballers of his time, starting with Sporting in Lisbon – where László Bölöni was his master – the star of Manchester United (twice), Real Madrid and Juventus. But while he shed countless goals and collected the Golden Balls (five), he also had time to start a populous family – albeit in a rather unusual way.
Ronaldo has five children from three mothers.

His first son, Cristianinho, was born in the United States in 2010, his mother is unknown, and the little boy was immediately taken to and raised by his grandmother, Dolores, while his father was busy playing for Real Madrid. At the time, Ronaldo was already living with Russian top model Irina Sheikh, with whom he broke up in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, the player announced that his twin children (Mateo and Eva) were born from a surrogate mother.
By then, Georgina, then 22, was living with the star in Madrid, from whom her fourth child was born on November 12, 2017, a little girl named Alana Martina at baptism.
Last year, Ronaldo became a Manchester United footballer again, with £ 13 million paid by the “red devils” for the then 36-year-old striker, who immediately bought a fork in Cheshire for £ 3 million and still lives there with his family. His fortune is estimated at £ 789 million, meaning he has come a long way from the immeasurable poverty he once lived on the island of Madeira. Before her twins were born – some of whom did not survive – Ronaldo said he was a believer in the big family and wanted at least seven children.
The Cheshire villa also has an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a super-garage that houses four of Ronaldo’s £ 17m car fleet. The star also has a luxury villa on the island of Mallorca – with a golf course, home cinema and of course a swimming pool – and a seven-storey seven-storey house in its hometown of Funchal, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
A few blocks from where it was born 37 years ago. Knowing today’s luxurious life in immeasurable poverty.
