Cristiano Ronaldo Biography
Cristiano Ronaldo grew up in Santo António, a neighborhood in the Portuguese city of Funchal on the island of Madeira. Cristiano Ronaldo grew up there with his parents, older brother, and two older sisters. Cristiano, his first name, owes his second name, Ronaldo, to Ronald Reagan, whom his father was a big fan of. Ronaldo played for CD Nacional on Madeira. In 2002, the winger was contracted by Sporting Lisbon. In the summer of 2003, he caught the attention of Manchester United. During a match between Sporting and Manchester United to mark the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade, Ronaldo played excellently and led his team to a 3-1 victory. The Manchester United players stated after the match that they would rather play with than against Ronaldo from now on, a sentiment with which coach Alex Ferguson fully agreed. Shortly thereafter, he was bought by Manchester United from Sporting for around £12 million. Ronaldo was brought in at Manchester United as the replacement for David Beckham, who had recently moved to Real Madrid. Ronaldo won the FA Cup in his first season with the club; he scored the opening goal in the final against Millwall FC (3-0).Ronaldo’s Debut in the National Team
Ronaldo made his debut in the Portuguese national team on August 20, 2003, against Kazakhstan. Since the European Championship in 2004, he has been a regular starter. Ronaldo was one of the standout performers at this European Championship, where he was a losing finalist with Portugal; he scored against Greece and the Netherlands. After the European Championship, Ronaldo participated with Portugal in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. In late November 2005, Ronaldo had a tough time. He was falsely accused of rape, and his father passed away. But in mid-December, he extended his contract with Manchester United until 2010. After allegedly making a hand gesture, showing his middle finger to the SL Benfica crowd during that same period, he was suspended by UEFA for one match. Ronaldo also made an impact at the 2006 World Cup, although he did not always start. He scored the winning penalty against England and led Portugal to their first World Cup semi-final since 1966. In the 2006/2007 season, he developed into one of the best players in the world. He was chosen as player of the month twice in a row, a feat previously achieved only by Dennis Bergkamp and Robbie Fowler. After interest from Real Madrid, he signed a new contract with United in April 2007, binding him to the club for five years. With a salary of £120,000 per week, he became the highest-paid player in the club’s history. On April 22, 2007, Ronaldo was voted Player of the Year by players in the English league and also Young Player of the Year in the English league, a feat that no one had achieved since 1977 (Andy Gray). His most successful year to date is 2008. He won the Premier League, FA Community Shield, UEFA Champions League, and the World Cup with Manchester United. He was also crowned European and World Footballer of the Year. In June 2009, the time had finally come. Real Madrid paid €94 million, the highest transfer fee ever for a player, and Cristiano Ronaldo exchanged the red shirt of Manchester United for the pristine white of the Royal Madrid. This gives the Portuguese star player a base salary of €12 million (after taxes) and a substantial share of his image rights. The buyout clause, stipulated in the contract in Spain, is set at the unpayable amount of €1 billion. 80,000 fans came to Santiago Bernabéu for the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo. This number made it the most popular player introduction ever. His start at Real Madrid was very promising. Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player to score in the first four league games.Cristiano Ronaldo Workout
