Ronaldo as a child

The family soon fell apart when his parents separated when he was only 11 years old, then his father died at the age of 52 from hepatitis, the result of heavy alcoholism.

When he was still in school, his academic performance was not very good because he was absorbed in football all day and sometimes he skipped school to play this sport. Another reason was that Ronaldo was often ridiculed by his friends because of his Madeira accent, which often led to fights in class. One time, when Ronaldo’s teacher joined a group of students in imitating a Madeira accent to tease him, Cristiano immediately picked up a chair and threw it at the teacher. As a result, he was only ranked as a poor player at the end of the year and was expelled from school.

In 2004, he and his seniors were considered the golden generation of Portugal. He and his teammates tried very hard to overcome their opponents to be present in the final match against the Greek team.

In the final, although Ronaldo, Luis-Figo and his teammates pressed the field, the Roman warriors’ defense was very resilient. Despite attacking a lot but still not scoring, the worst thing happened. Greece took the lead with a score of 1-0 and this was also the final result of the match. Tears rolled down Ronaldo’s face.

But Ronaldo was not discouraged because of that defeat, he always tried to practice and fight with all his might, he was always the spiritual leader and an extremely important player of Portugal.

At Euro 2016, Ronaldo led Portugal to the final against the host team France. Before reaching the final, Portugal had gone through the group stage in 3rd place and won a ticket to the next round thanks to being the team with the best 3rd place record.

The final had just started and he was fouled for a while. Despite the painful foul, CR7 stood up and continued to fight, but after playing for a while, he could not hold on any longer and once again tears fell, this was the tear of maturity of a leader when he could not fight with his teammates in the most important match.
