What was the growth process of Cristiano Ronaldo like?

Photos of Cristiano Ronaldo playing football when he was young. Cristiano Ronaldo comes from Madeira, a beautiful island in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Portugal. Like Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho was also born in a poor family. Ronaldinho's father is a gardener at a football club. Xiao Luo has two sisters and one brother. Ronaldo’s father influenced the young Ronaldinho to play football. The football he kicked in his backyard was his inseparable friend. “To be honest, I don’t know why I love it so much, but that’s just the way I am. "Xiao Xiaoluo said this. But Funchal, which is not wealthy, does not have many suitable venues to play football. "I get happy very easily - at Christmas and on my birthday, the gift I want most is football. In those days, although we I didn't have any money, but if I could get a ball, I would be happy. I always wanted to get hand-sewn footballs because they lasted a long time. I had my own court, which was on the street. He was playing football, and sometimes skipped school to play football." He began to change his tricks and learned to never admit defeat. "The kids playing football on the street were all bigger than me, and I could only continue by passing them. "Going forward, of course they often pushed me down or tackled me. It was a mental challenge. You can't give in, you have to stand up and beat him with football." More than ten years later, now, in any part of the world. On the court, Ronaldo is still doing the same thing, being tackled by his opponents again and again, and getting up again and again to continue to break through. Ronaldinho's outstanding performance soon attracted the attention of the local National Club, so Ronaldinho became a slightly famous star of the National Team. Mendonca, the team coach at the time, recalled: "Ronaldo is the most outstanding young player I have ever seen. I can't even believe his skills. At that time, we often beat our opponents by 9 or 10 goals, and Ronaldo could often take care of half of them." "Goal." In 1998, the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon was also impressed by Ronaldo's talent, and they introduced Ronaldo, who was only 13 years old, at a low price of 1,500 pounds. Perhaps Sporting Lisbon did not expect that five years later, Ronaldinho's worth would have increased nearly 10,000 times. In the first few months after joining Sporting Lisbon's youth team, Ronaldinho's rural Madeira accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital. For this reason, he had a strong self-esteem and felt inferior to him. He had conflicts more than once with his teammates who imitated his speech. . Xiao Luo said: "I have a strong accent because I come from a small island and am different from other children. Looking back, that was also good. It taught me how to support myself. I learned to be independent at a very young age." To make matters worse, Ronaldinho was almost kicked out of the team because he grew too fast because the coach thought he was too clumsy. Ronaldinho received five years of rigorous and scientific training at the Alcochete training camp of Sporting Lisbon, the "football dream factory" that has trained football geniuses such as Figo. The club conducted scientific training for him. . During training you will often see Ronaldinho resting off the court. The club conducted physical examinations on him to predict his future height and monitor his exercise volume. With unremitting efforts, Xiao Luo gradually became a leader among his peers. Aurelio Pereira, Portugal's respected veteran coach who brought Ronaldinho from Madeira to Lisbon, had this to say: "From the time he was 11 years old I thought this was a player who could be a future player. A player who has become a superstar, Ronaldo has shown all the potential to become a superstar since he was a child. What he has achieved today does not surprise me. I don't think I have the magic ability to discover and create talents, but experience tells me that he will become a superstar... Whenever I watch him play, it’s like watching a kid from Sporting Lisbon’s youth academy playing football.” Ronaldinho is the first player in Sporting Lisbon’s history to enter the club’s U16 (under-16) club at the same time. Team), U17, U18, second team and first team players, becoming the only player in the club's history to participate in five different levels of competition in one season. In September 2002, he scored two goals in his Portuguese Super League debut, and three goals in 25 games in a season was good enough for a 17-year-old.

Inheriting the legend of No. 7

The young Ronaldinho quickly attracted attention from Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portuguese Manchester United assistant coach Queiroz, who briefly coached La Liga giants Real Madrid in the Manchester United era, later recalled: "I had been observing Cristiano at the time. Every time we discussed whether to sign him or Quaresma, I would emphasize My own opinion. We don't have the ability to sign two people. I believe Cristiano was my top target when I left Manchester United to coach Real Madrid in the summer of 2003. I submitted the transfer list to Real Madrid's sporting director Valdano. But now it seems that we are lucky that he has joined Manchester United." On August 6, 2003, the new stadium rebuilt for the 2004 European Football Championship was officially opened. The new stadium called "Alvalade-21" hosted a friendly match with Manchester United. Ronaldinho's outstanding performance helped Sporting Lisbon defeat Manchester United 3:1. He impressed the Manchester United players on the field so much that they recommended Ferguson to sign this talented player on the plane back to Manchester.

"Cristiano performed very well and all doubts were put to rest," Queiroz said. "Alex (Ferguson) had to make a decision quickly after the Lisbon game. Otherwise Valdano and I would have got him. "On August 8, 2003, Manchester United announced that it had signed a five-year contract with Cristiano Ronaldo for a transfer fee of 12.24 million pounds. Ronaldinho became the first Portuguese player in the history of Manchester United. His transfer fee also broke the 8.5 million pound transfer record for young Premier League players held by another Portuguese Viana a year ago. "Cristiano? He is great. I think for a Premier League defender, his skills are too luxurious." Figo's comments calmed people's doubts about Ronaldinho's worth of 12.24 million pounds. Portuguese legend Eusebio was full of praise for him: "As a player, he can do whatever he wants. Sometimes his technique of controlling the ball makes me pat my head, but I still don't understand how he does it." Eusebio He even described a brilliant future for Ronaldinho: "He is not just a football player, he will become one of the symbols of football. No matter which league he plays for or which team he plays for, he will make the most important contribution." Contribution." Legendary superstar George Best is Manchester United's No. 7. During his 17 years in charge, Ferguson used this jersey as a symbol of the club's top stars - George Best, Bryan Robson, Canton Na, Beckham. Now, people are looking forward to whether Ronaldinho can continue this legend. Ronaldinho said: "After I joined, the coach asked me which number I wanted, and I said No. 28, but Ferguson said, 'No. You will get No. 7.' This famous jersey gave me extra motivation. Have to work hard to deserve this number." Before the game against Bolton on August 16, 2003, most of the comments about Cristiano Ronaldo were in Portuguese, while after the 29 minutes of the game, most of the comments about Cristiano Ronaldo were in English. Became the master. Ferguson, who has always been harsh, did not hide his praise for the Portuguese: "He seems to be a new hero in the hearts of the fans. I have to use him carefully, because you have to understand that he is only 18 years old now. I have to be careful. In the 2003-04 season, Ronaldinho played 39 times in all competitions and scored the first goal in the FA Cup final against Millwall, helping Manchester United win the cup. At the end of the season, Ronaldinho was voted the club's "Sir Busby Best Player Award" by Manchester United fans. Although he encountered a lot of resistance at the beginning - his flashy style of play has always received mixed reviews. However, Ronaldo gradually grew up under Ferguson's careful training. He helped Manchester United win the FA Cup twice in 2004 and 2006, and took home the League Cup in the 2005-06 season. In 2006, he was selected into the Premier League's best team, won the International Professional Footballers Association's Best Newcomer, and was elected as the Portuguese Sports Celebrity of the Year. Manchester United's new No. 7 is on the way. "The pitch is where his feet have the final say. Football can make him leave the turmoil and hostile environment and forget about the cold weather in Manchester and the bad food in Britain." Ronaldinho's real outbreak came after the World Cup in Germany. Because of Rooney's red card incident in the 2006 World Cup, he became the enemy of the entire England. Perhaps this is the inevitable fate of Manchester United's No. 7: Cantona was suspended for kicking fans, and Beckham's red card in the World Cup made them the public enemy of the entire England. He once thought about leaving Old Trafford and going to Spain, but after the efforts of Red Devils coach Sir Alex Ferguson, he chose to stay at Manchester United. This fate finally fell on Cristiano Ronaldo. He is younger than both of his predecessors. Later facts proved how right he was to stay. Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Chelsea in the Manchester United Era In the 2006-07 season, Portugal's No. 1 Red Devil completed a shocking transformation and led Manchester United to win the Premier League championship after four years. He has scored 23 goals in all competitions, including 17 in the Premier League. He is second only to Chelsea's Drogba and Blackburn's McCarthy in the scorer list. He is the midfielder with the most goals. This season, he won 13 awards in a row. Among them, he was selected as the best player of the year by the Premier League players, the Professional Journalists Association and the fans. The best newcomer selected by the Premier League players was a record Grand Slam. This season can be called Cristiano's perfect season, and the background of all this cannot be ignored: less than 12 months ago, due to the World Cup crisis, Ronaldo was still the public enemy of all England. Everywhere outside, he was greeted with the unanimous boos of tens of thousands of people. Ronaldo said: "After the incident with Wayne (Rooney) at the World Cup, every time I went away to play I was booed. There were some particularly difficult moments and I think it was unfair. But you have to ignore it or you can't concentrate. The first few weeks, I would say to myself before every game: 'Don't worry about it, just play your way!' The boos change your game and a lot of players get lost in it, but that's fine. On the contrary, I think these boos are good for me, they can make me calmer, and I regard them as a kind of salute, which is very important to me at least. "Not only does he have excellent skills, he also has a brave heart. Heart. "This is the sign of a great player." His head coach Ferguson commented. After the 2006-07 season, Manchester United announced a contract extension with Ronaldinho until 2012, with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.

This season, a Manchester United fan composed a song called "There's Only One Ronaldo." Whenever Cristiano Ronaldo attacks the city for Manchester United, the fans can always sing "Only One Ronaldo" in the stands of Dream Theater. In the 0708 season, after experiencing a slight low ebb at the beginning of the season, Ronaldo began his journey to conquer the Premier League and conquer Europe. At Old Trafford, with the fans singing "There is only one Ronaldo", he scored a crazy 31 Premier League goals in one season. There are many classic games such as a 1:0 win over Birmingham, a 2:0 win over Fulham with two goals, a 2:1 win over Everton with all the team's goals, and a 6:0 hat trick against Newcastle. Ronaldo's outstanding performance allowed Manchester United to laugh at the end of the league. In the end, Manchester United won the Premier League championship in the 0708 season. Ronaldo's club career only has the last and most valuable trophy left: the European Champions League. In the Champions League, in the group stage, Ronaldo scored 5 goals alone. Manchester United advanced to the knockout stages with an undefeated record and topped the group. Among them, Ronaldo also scored a goal for his old club Sporting Lisbon. After scoring the goal, he expressed his feelings after scoring the goal with an apologetic gesture. In the knockout stage, Manchester United first eliminated Ligue 1 hegemon Lyon at Old Trafford with his only goal, and then blocked old enemy Roma from the semi-finals again in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, he did not lose his chance because of Cristiano Ronaldo's missed penalty kick at Camp Nou. He returned to Old Trafford and eliminated Barcelona with ginger-headed Paul Scholes' winner, and once again stood in the European competition after nine years. in the peak showdown. Their opponent is their old rival in the Premier League, the Blues Chelsea. In Moscow, Ronaldo scored United's only goal in the Champions League final. Subsequently, Chelsea equalized the score with Lampard's shot, which lasted for 120 minutes. The cruel penalty shootout came, and Ronaldo, the third player to appear, missed the penalty kick in the Champions League match. At this moment, the Champions League trophy seemed to be far away from Manchester United and Ronaldo. However, a miracle happened. The sky in Moscow began to rain, and the slippery field caused Chelsea player Terry, the fifth player to appear, to slip and fall on the court. It was like a push from God, pushing Manchester United to the championship trophy. Then Van der Sar's heroic save finally brought Manchester United to the top of Europe again. At this moment, Ronaldo fell on the court in Moscow and cried bitterly. However, the tears this time are no longer the tears of frustration at the European Cup or World Cup, but the uncontrollable tears of the victors. When receiving the Big Ears Cup, Ronaldo lovingly embraced the trophy he had been fighting for for 6 seasons. At this moment, Ronaldo was as happy as a child who got the expected gift on Christmas morning. In the 0809 season, with the great dream of winning five crowns, Manchester United and Ronaldo ushered in the just-concluded 0809 season. Because of his outstanding performance, both the media and the fans have more expectations for Ronaldo. At the beginning of the season, Ronaldo experienced a low ebb caused by injuries. As a result, many media and fans began to blame him. Ronaldo has never been defeated by this. As Manchester United performed triumphant songs in various arenas, his condition also improved bit by bit. In this season, Ronaldo may not have scored as many goals as last season, but people have seen a more mature and stable Ronaldo. His skills are more comprehensive, especially his weird elevator free kick, which reminds fans of the Dream Theater of the crazy era of the Bayern Arc. In December 2008, Manchester United traveled to Japan, heading towards the first World Club Football Championship trophy in the club's history. After two games, Manchester United finally got their wish and won the Club World Cup, which symbolizes the world championship. In all kinds of best selections that year, Ronaldo has undoubtedly become the most powerful competitor. The 2008 World Footballer, the European Ballon d'Or winner, the world's best eleven, the best player in the Champions League, the best forward in Europe, the best player in the Premier League, these honors come one after another. Ronaldo has won all the individual honors a professional player can win. My mother's wish back then has finally become a reality. Cristiano Ronaldo not only won the highest honor, but also surpassed his predecessor Figo at the same age. This year, Cristiano Ronaldo is 23 years old. The time has entered March 1, 2009. At Wembley Stadium, Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur on penalties in the League Cup final to win their second trophy, the League Cup. The great cause of the five-time champion is approaching step by step. However, in the Premier League and FA Cup, the intensive schedule made the Red Devils soldiers begin to show fatigue. After a 1:4 defeat at home to Liverpool and a 0:2 away defeat against Fulham, Manchester United's advantage over second-placed Liverpool was only 1 point. In the semi-final against Everton, Manchester United, who had used all their substitutes, finally lost in a penalty shootout. Everyone is questioning Manchester United's goal of winning five trophies this season. However, at the critical moment, Ronaldo stepped forward. In the crucial game against Aston Villa, Ronaldo scored two goals. With the goal of prodigy Macheda in stoppage time, Manchester United made a miraculous comeback. This is an important game for Manchester United to gradually recover from the bottom. In the subsequent games, Manchester United maintained a record of unbeatable victory until the penultimate round of the league, when they faced Arsenal at home, with Manchester United leading by 6 points. Finally, at Old Trafford, Manchester United drew with Arsenal and secured the league title one round ahead of schedule. And achieved three consecutive Premier League titles for the second time.

Ronaldo won his third Premier League trophy. The only thing left in front of Manchester United is the Big Ear Cup. After entering the knockout rounds with an unbeaten record in the group, Manchester United continued their unbeaten run in European competitions. First, the Serie A hegemon Inter Milan was eliminated with a total score of 2:0. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the game that sealed the victory, breaking the curse of the defending champion being stopped in the quarterfinals. Later, at the Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal, he scored the only goal of the game, breaking the curse of Premier League teams not winning at the Dragon Stadium. In the semi-finals, Manchester United ushered in their old rival Arsenal. In two games, Ronaldo scored twice at the Emirates Stadium, defeating Arsenal and advancing to Rome. In Rome, Manchester United met Barcelona, ??who were also favorites to win the title. Two of the best players in football today, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who celebrated after Ronaldo scored a goal during the Manchester United era, had a direct conversation. However, this time, tactical mistakes caused Manchester United to be very passive in normal games. After Eto'o scored the first goal, Manchester United was suppressed throughout the game. In the end, Messi scored a header and Manchester United defeated the eternal city of Rome. This time, Ronaldo didn't cry. What he left to the world was his calm and lonely face. Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, Best said: "There are many players who are called the 'new Best', but this is the first time that I feel that this title is a compliment to me." Sir Alex Ferguson I will never bet with Ronaldinho on the number of goals scored in a single season again. In a certain respect, he has surpassed Best, the god in the hearts of Manchester United fans. He is better than "Best". Nothing can stop this genius. 42 goals in a single season is the data of a top center. As a winger, Ronaldinho has already done it. More importantly, he has a variety of scoring methods, from continuous breakthrough shots to long-distance volley shots; single shots, grabbing points, fixed-point penalty kicks or free kicks - one cannot but mention Cristiano Ronaldo's Free kick, how did he do it? The ball dropped rapidly after bypassing the wall, and with a little horizontal rotation, the opponent's goalkeeper had nothing to do - he was already familiar with such difficult free kicks. Regarding Ronaldo's free kick skills, Ferguson explained with a smile, "There is no secret, the important thing is practice. Practice makes perfect, just like what I learned in school. This kid practices the most diligently every day, and that's what he does The reason why it's so good. At this point, we'll go have a cup of tea and let him practice. He's always practicing, and he'll play for 20 or 25 minutes after training, and he'll be there, behind a bunch of balls. There is a wall in front of him, bang, bang, bang, bang... He kicks about 30 kicks every time, so..." He can use speed to pass people, use fake moves to pass people, can score headers, and can shoot penalty kicks. With the ball, he can grab points, make up shots and long-range shots, he can score with his heel or assist with his heel, he can score a hat-trick, he can also assist a hat-trick. In terms of comprehensiveness, England's famous coach Venables commented on Ronaldo: "He has speed, strength, physical fitness, technology, consciousness, courage. He is not only physically strong, but also mentally strong." Manchester United's Premier League rival Arsenal The head coach Wenger is very aware of Ronaldo's ability. He abandoned the cliché of "one of the best in the world" and directly placed the crown of No. 1 on Ronaldo's head. He said this: "Cristiano is the best player in the world right now." The best football player on the planet because he perfectly combines the two most difficult things in professional football - style and efficiency. I admire his efficiency in scoring goals. He plays as a wide player, but he But you can't deny that you can score so many goals." Ronaldinho said: "People often say that I need to perform better in major games. I respect this opinion, but I don't think that I still have it. It's necessary for someone to prove themselves. I am very satisfied with my current progress and I am very happy that I am still improving. Compared with a year ago, I am definitely much better than when I first came to Manchester United. I hope this momentum continues." Are you arrogant? Of course, as did some of his hilarious celebrations after scoring. But there is nothing surprising about such a shooter saying some arrogant words. Henry said of Ronaldo, he said: "This year has been Cristiano Ronaldo for many years. He will become the World Footballer. No one can compare with him. The way he plays now is a mockery of his competitors. I I respect him from the bottom of my heart, especially after seeing the way he came back from the World Cup. Everyone in England wanted to kill him and wanted him to fail, but he didn't.
