Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that it is one of his ‘dreams’ for his son to follow in his footsteps and one day become a professional footballer.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner often shares pictures of Ronaldo Jr’s progress on the football pitch and in the gym.
Last April, a video of the 8-year-old went viral as he showcased his skills on the Bernabeu pitch during half-time.
Ronaldo Sr is already mapping out a path for the young boy.
“He is very competitive, he’s like me when I was young,” Ronaldo said in an interview with ‘DAZN’.
“He doesn’t like to lose and he will be like me, I’m sure, 100 per cent.”
“I like to teach him some stuff, but he’s going to be whatever he wants and I’m always going to support him.”
“But of course I want Cristiano to be a football player, because I think he has that drive. He has a good body, he’s fast, he has skills, he shoots good.”
“But, as you know, he’s going to take his decision and he’s so young. I’m not going to put pressure on him, but of course I dream to see my boy a football player.”
Greatest Goal He’s Ever Scored
He’s hardly spoilt for choice, but Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to pick out his favourite amongst the 658 goals he’s scored for club and country in his professional career.
Portuguese icon Ronaldo has managed 85 goals for his country since his senior international debut in 2003, with the rest bring plundered for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United and Real Madrid across a career which is one of the more remarkable in football history.
Ronaldo’s overhead kick for Real Madrid at Juventus in the Champions League last week was, he says, one of the reasons why he decided to join the club this summer, with the home fans giving him a standing ovation when it went in.
