Cristiano Ronaldo family memory

Cristiano Ronaldo’s dad was his first agent and his biggest believer, but getting the rest of the family to care about football was a whole different battle. His mother and sisters had zero interest in the game, so every night at dinner his father would push them to come watch him play. After matches, he’d announce, “Cristiano scored a goal!” and they’d barely react with a flat “Ah, very good.” Two goals earned a “Well done, Cris” with no real emotion behind it. So Ronaldo just kept scoring. The night his father came home and said “Cristiano scored three goals! It was incredible! You have to come see him play!” things finally shifted. Before every match, Ronaldo would glance at the touchline and see only his dad standing there alone, until one warm-up when he looked over and spotted his mother and sisters in the stands. They weren’t clapping or shouting, just huddled together waving like they were at a parade, clearly never having been to a football match before. He says he misses his father a lot, and in that moment their presence was all that mattered. #CristianoRonaldo
