Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that his son Jr. was shocked and unbelievable when he took him to his old residence before his rise to stardom and pounds of money, and showed him the difficult circumstances in which he lived adolescence.
The 34-year-old left Juventus at his home in Madeira at the age of 12 to fulfill his ambitions to become a professional player and stayed in Lisbon with his best friend, Miguel Baixao.
The former Manchester United star and Real Madrid decided to teach his 9-year-old son a practical lesson in life, taking him to visit the room where he lived in the harsh conditions his son never knew.
"They think everything comes easily. Quality of life, homes, cars and clothes ... That's what I try to instill in my son. I teach him that talent alone will not buy him these things, but hard work and dedication will achieve your dreams." |
Ronaldo told the Portuguese television channel TVI that he was excited to show his son where he grew up, where there are still some people who lived with him.
The Portuguese captain revealed that his son was shocked and could not believe when he saw the room where he was staying, "My son turned to me and said: Papa .. Do you live here?".
The five-time Golden Ball winner, Ronaldo, was aiming to teach his son the value of money, not take everything for granted and work hard in life to succeed.
