“Cristiano was rooting for Benfica because of his father,” quotes Maisfutebol, the mother of the football player.
According to her, she was a fan of Sporting all her life and for this reason she gladly sent her son to the academy of this club when the application arrived.
“As soon as Cristiano got to Sporting, he became a real fan of this team. And it remains for them now, ”said Aveiro.
Ronaldo made his debut for the main team of Sporting in 2002, and in 2003 he moved to Manchester United.
Ronaldo is the five-time winner of the Golden Ball, which is awarded to the best player in the season.
Earlier, eight-time Olympic champion Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt said he would like to run the relay 4 × 100 meters with Ronaldo, Kilian Mbappe and Gareth Bale.
