50 interesting facts about Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is a professional soccer player who has set records while playing for both Manchester United and Real Madrid.

1. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, but he goes by Cristiano Ronaldo.
2. Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in Madeira, Portugal.
3. He got the name "Ronaldo" after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor.

4. He is the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia.
5. He grew up poor and said he shared a bedroom with his siblings.
6. At the age of eight, Ronaldo played for amateur team Andorinha, where his father was the kit man.
   
   
7. Ronaldo was nicknamed "cry-baby" as a child. His mother Dolores Aveiro said: "When he got home from school I'd tell him to do homework but he'd say he didn't have any. I'd be making dinner and he would jump out of the window and run off until late. He used to cry when he passed and his friends didn't score. People called him 'cry-baby' and 'little bee' because nobody could catch him."
8. Ronaldo was popular with other students at school, but he was expelled at the age of 14 after he threw a chair at his teacher. Ronaldo said the reason he did it was because the teacher disrespected him. Despite it being a negative thing, it turned into a great turning point in his life. His mother then encouraged him to focus all his attention on soccer which he did and turned him into an international sensation.
9. Ronaldo signed with local club Nacional, and, after a title-winning campaign, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP, who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum. Paulo Cardoso, his first coach at Sporting Lisbon, said: "When he got the ball he went past two or three players. At the end of the game the players gathered around him, they knew he was a special kid."
   
   
10. As a teenager, he would be in the gym training using weights on either foot, and then dribbling with the ball. Ronaldo thought training with weights would improve his game techniques because without weights, he would be even faster.
11. At the age of 15 Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart, a condition that might have forced him to give up playing football. He had an operation in which a laser was used to cauterise the area of his heart that was causing the problem. The surgery took place in the morning and Ronaldo was discharged from hospital by the end of the afternoon; he resumed training only a few days later.
12. Cristiano admits that he owes his lucky break to one of his closest friends,Albert Fantrau. "I have to thank my friend Albert for my success. We played together for a youth club. When people from Sporting (Lisbon) arrived, they told us that whoever scored more goals would be accepted to their Academy. We won that game 3-0, I scored the first goal, the Albert scored a header, and the third was a goal that impressed everyone. Albert went to one on one with the goalkeeper. I was running next to him, he went round the keeper, all he needed to do was just to get the ball into the empty net. But, he passed it to me and I scored. I was accepted to the Academy. After the match, I approached him and asked him "why" and he answered; "You're better than me". Several years later, the journalist went to Albert's house and asked whether the story was true. He confirmed. He also said that his career as a football player finished after that match and he is now unemployed. "But where did you get such a gorgeous house, a car? You seemed to be a rich person. You also maintain your family ... .. Where is all this from?." Albert proudly replied; it's from Cristiano.

15. Sir Alex Ferguson had no hesitation in handing Ronaldo the No 7 shirt. He said: "We've had some fantastic No 7s, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, some wouldn't want that jersey but his confidence was high even at 18. When he made his debut as substitute against Bolton he took the place by storm."
16. Ronaldo, however, did not disappoint. He showed his promise early on in the 2004 FA Cup final, scoring the team's first three goals and helping them capture the championship.
17. In 2006, Ronaldo opened a fashion boutique under the name "CR7" (his initials and shirt number) on the island of Madeira, Portugal. Ronaldo expanded his business with a second clothes boutique in Lisbon in 2008. The stores include diamond-studded belts, jeans with leather pockets and patented buckled loafers.

19. In 2008, a year after signing a five-year, £31 million contract, Ronaldo set a franchise record for goals scored (42), and earning himself the FIFA World of the Year honor.
20. His commitment to Manchester United was under question and in 2009, Spanish soccer club Real Madrid agreed to pay United a record $131 million for the chance to sign him. "I know that they are going to demand a lot of me to be successful at the club and I know that I'm going to have much more pressure than at Manchester United because I was there for many years," Ronaldo told reporters. "But it means a new challenge and is going to help me be the best footballer."

Cristiano Ronaldo to start against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup

Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to start against Sevilla when the two sides meet in the UEFA Super Cup in Cardiff, Wales.



According to Spanish sports daily, AS, Cristiano is expected, despite the recommendation of some of the club’s medical staff, to start against Sevilla, his first since being eliminated by Ghana in the 2014 World Cup on 26th June.

Cristiano has not had any game time throughout the pre-season, apart from the 20 minutes played against Manchester United in their friendly in Michigan, but has been training diligently with physiotherapist, Antonio Gaspar in order to be fit for the start of the season.

In addition to Cristiano, Toni Kroos is expected to start in place of the suspended Xabi Alonso, while James Rodriguez is expected to start for Angel Di Maria, who just returned to training last week and is not fit to face the Andalusians.

Keylor Navas is the only new signing that won’t be playing, as the starting goalkeeper spot was promised to Iker Casillas.

However, the night is saved for Gareth Bale, who has been incredible form throughout the pre-season and will be playing in front of his home crowd, almost exactly a year after becoming the most expensive transfer in history.

Cristiano Ronaldo 17 Goals:- UEFA Champions League

Three reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo should win the Best Player in Europe award

UEFA had previously announced a list of 10 players who will be contesting against each other for the UEFA Best player in Europe award.

Real Madrid had a stellar season this year despite finishing third in their domestic league, winning the Spanish Copa del Rey and their much, much anticipated tenth UEFA Champions League trophy.

However, despite that, amongst the top 10, astonishingly, only 2 players from the Los Blancos have made it to the list, viz., Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a record number of goals, 17 which is the highest any player has ever even able to score in a single tournament, and Angel di Maria, who was one of the club’s most consistent and omnipresent players, scoring the vital goals in the dying moments of the game.

This season marks the fourth installment of the award which was initiated in 2011, and recognises the best player performing in all competitions, both domestic and international, and at club and national team levels.

#1 The record-breaking 17 goals

Cristiano Ronaldo finished his Champions League campaign as the tournament’s highest scorer for the second time in running with his 17 goals, the last time it came around during his Manchester United days in the 2007/08 season when his eight goals, including one in the final against Chelsea, leading the Red Devils to their third Champions League trophy ever.
This year, on the other hand, is a whole different story, as not only he did help Real Madrid overcome their obsession with their much awaited La Decima, but he also broke new ground in the tournament netting 17 goals, an all time high now.

Appearances: 11

WhoScored Rating: 8.29

#2 Highest scorer in the league, and joint-Golden Shoe winner

Despite Real Madrid’s poor show in their domestic league campaign this season, Cristiano Ronaldo was successful in topping the goal-scoring charts with his 31 goals from 30 matches, managing an average of more than a goal per match earning him his second ever Pichichi. His 31 league goals surpassed the goal scoring record of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, and then-Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa by three and four goals respectively.

He had also topped the list in Europe, sharing his third Golden Shoe with Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez , who had scored the same number of goals, however with two more matches played.

#3 His diligence with Portugal

Despite being warned by surgeons that playing in the World Cup could put a big dent his career as he was suffering from thigh and knee injuries, Cristiano Ronaldo went on to represent Portugal regardless of the consequences.

His Portuguese surgeon, Jose Carlos Noronha had apparently told the forward, “Let your knee rest, or your future is in danger”, but determined Ronaldo defied his orders saying, “I’m the one that says whether I’m playing or not.”

He went onto play for the whole 90 minutes for Portugal against the Germans, and even though his team succumbed to a 4-0 loss, his commitment towards the team earned him utmost respect from fans all around the world.
