Ronaldo was popular among the other kids however the popularity might have gotten a little to his head when he sprang a chair toward one of his teachers well little Ronaldo had his reason and according to him he disrespected me the teacher had disrespected him and Ronaldo reacts to disrespect as Diego Simeone the rumor is that the teacher made fun of his provincial accent the ACT led to his suspension from the school well luck must have been on his side as this was the time he credits his Turning Point his mother advised him to focus on football instead of causing trouble well it's from what you can see today he surely did follow his mother's advice so it could be a very likely possibility that had he not thrown the chair at the teacher we wouldn't have the football in great that we have today now how about that he was named after Ronald Reagan but I guess you didn't know how he got his iconic name Ronaldo Ronaldo Reagan doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Cristiano Ronaldo but if Ronaldo's dad had his way that might have been the name of football's biggest star his father had named him Ronaldo as a way to honor Ronald Reagan who had been Jose's favorite actor before becoming president of the United States he was actually born Cristiano dos santosavero but his father who was a huge fan of then U. S president and former actor Ronald Reagan decided to give Cristiano the name Ronaldo as his second name note that the name Ronald in English is Ronaldo in Portuguese ironically Ronald Reagan and Cristiano Ronaldo look a bit alike simply look at the eyes and the grin of both men to make your own judgment not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo's love for acting Hollywood and glamor first puska's winner okay you might have forgotten that Ronaldo won a puscas but did you know that Ronaldo had his name written in the history of the award as the first player to win it the prestigious award was created in October 2009 to honor the legendary Hungarian footballer Perez puskas the puscus is all about rewarding the player that scored the most beautiful goal of the year that year Ronaldo won it with his 40-yard screamer against Porto which sent Manchester United into the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2009.
this goal also ended Porto's unbeaten record at the dragal stadium against English opposition in this competition which allowed fans from all over the world to choose and vote from a long list of goals scored Cristiano Ronaldo came first scoring 17 of the votes he topped Barcelona's Iniesta and Wolfsburg graffiti who came second and third with 15 and 13 of the votes respectively alien-like athleticism it takes only an athletic freak to score that kind of screamer he did against Porto okay this sounds far-fetched but scientific Studies have been carried out on Ronaldo's ridiculous speed and one bit of research actually showed that the Juventus star much better at jumping than the average NBA player which would explain how he manages to do all those ridiculous scissor kicks Ronaldo had to work hard to gain all of that speed though when he was a teenager Ronaldo put heavy weights on his feet and ran with them during training sessions he believed that once he took them off he would be able to run much faster than the average person well it seems to have worked out for him during an average football season for Ronaldo he's estimated to Sprint 900 times more than an Olympic sprinter does in training he has no tattoos ever since David Beckham's rise to fame it became a bit of a trend among footballers to cover their entire bodies and even have a single tattoo on his body this might be to do with the fact that the sports star is a committed Blood Donor since the Red Cross stipulates that you can't give blood for at least four months after getting an inking Ronaldo won't have to worry about leaving large periods in between blood donations he's quite generous and did you know that CR7 once donated his bone marrow to help his teammate Carlos Martin's son the three-year-old was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder there wouldn't be CR7 without one childhood friend but an even more emotional story is Ronaldo's relationship with his childhood teammate and friend Albert fantrell their coach told them that whoever got the most goals in a particular game would win a scholarship to Lisbon's prestigious footballing Academy fan trial and Ronaldo were neck and neck on goals when fantrell had the chance to score instead he passed the ball to Ronaldo and passed up the opportunity of a lifetime he later explained that he did this because he knew that Ronaldo was a better footballer Ronaldo has never forgotten his sacrifice and he once gifted fan trial a house a card and money as a thank you quite a great story there that one first ever Portuguese player to join Manchester United he really grew up from childhood when in 2003 Ronaldo signed for Manchester United he was still only a teenager but the Red Devils forked out 12 million euro for Ronaldo who became the first Portuguese player to join mufc he was also awarded the number seven jersey but wearing the number seven jersey came with considerable added pressure since it had previously been worn by David Beckham Eric Cantona and George best Ronaldo proved himself more than worthy of the jersey and number seven eventually came to Define his sporting career his iconic number seven when you mentioned CR7 no one will confuse it with another brand Cristiano Ronaldo has owned the number seven jersey and it doesn't look like he will let it go soon he has long trademarked the brand however it might not have always been so when he joined Manchester his jersey number was supposed to be 28. it may be odd sounding but that's right we would have been saying cr28 but Sir Alex Ferguson insisted that Ronaldo take up jersey number seven so he can fill in the shoes and work into the flare of his predecessors and since then Ronaldo has always held on to the number seven jersey besides a temporary number nine when he got to Real Madrid even when he got back to Manchester United he snatched back his beloved number seven jersey Ronaldo doesn't drink despite cr7's obsession with good hydration the Superstar doesn't drink alcohol well the reason for this was quite personal sadly Ronaldo at his fair share of family tragedy and when the footballer was only 20 years old his father Jose died of complications related to alcoholism the star had tried to get his dad into rehab several times but unfortunately Jose refused help as a result of this loss Ronaldo refuses to touch alcohol the football and greatest concern that the condition is hereditary and he doesn't want to risk following in his dad's footsteps the controversy around his kids but even more controversial is the birth of Ronaldo's first three children in 2010 Cristiano became a father for the first time to Cristiano Jr who was born in the U.
