One does not need to be a soccer fan to admire this amazing and pro skilled player. There is no doubt he is a handsome man and a well-trained athlete. However, he has lots of other things to be respected for. Here is the short list to make you look at him from the other angle.
Heart disease
At the age of 15, this strong guy was diagnosed with a racing heart condition. His parents had to look for quite a sum of money to let their son overcome it. Ronaldo had to go through the complicated surgery and was unable to continue his training. Any workout could easily kill him. He was told he could forget about his football career. It is hard to believe that could ever happen to Cristiano, judging by his multiple victories and awards.
Life saving
After what he had to come through on his way to success, Ronaldo keeps supporting people in their struggle for lives. It is known that he took the charge and paid for a 9-year old boy treatment. The little one was struggling against cancer. He was a Real Madrid fan, and when the champion came over his story he could not stay aside.
Pokies team
Ronaldo is a member of the Team Poker Stars. That means that anyone can easily get at the same table with him and enjoy a wonderful game. About a few thousands of people are waiting for their turn now. Of course, if you are not keen on wasting your time in queues – you can go to the CasinoMonster Australia and practice there before facing a star.
School friendship
Being at high school Ronaldo and his best friend Jose Semedo has been training in one senior team. When they heard about headhunters coming to pick up the best one for FIFA they understood it would be a real battle between two of them. At the last minute, Semeda gave the ball to Ronaldo, and he performed his best goal. Of course, Ronaldo got the contract. But since then they keep close and Cristiano supports his friend. Jose is jobless, but he live in a real mansion with his family and drives a supercar. All thank his best mate.
No alcohol, no smoking
His life was not easy. Since early years, he saw his dad suffering from harmful addiction. When the man was 52, he died of alcoholism. That was the moment when he swore he will never take a drop of it. He says that due to the fact he has that many fans among teens and youngsters – he wants to give them the best example and show off they can have a wonderful and exciting life without it.
If you ever hear a kid wanting to be just like Cristiano – cheer him up! That is a wonderful plan for life.
