Self-discipline and hard work are not only the keys to success for a player, but humility and low profile are also important endorsements of becoming a superstar. Cristiano Ronaldo, a troubled childhood transformed into a generation of football stars.

One, Madeira fisherman out of the child, because of poverty almost could not come to the earth

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the poor Portuguese island of Madeira, the son of Diaz Avero, a florist who also supported the family by working as a shirt manager for the local amateur football club.

His mother, a local cleaner, struggled to support the family on a meager salary.

His father, who was a heavy drinker, could not help him. He always spent his small income on alcohol and did not take the responsibility of father at home. Only mother Dolores supported the whole family by herself.

Before Ronaldo was born, the family already had three children, the family life was very difficult.

The heavy family burden for the mother Dolores has been too much, once tried to drink and other local rumors to abort the child, when Dolores asked the doctor for help to abort the child, the doctor persuaded her that she was too young to give birth.

Unbeknownst to the doctors, the baby could be born, but the baby would add insult to injury to the poor family. In the end, Ronaldo was born. Ronaldo, who later became a superstar, joked to his mother, "Thank you for finally choosing to give birth to me, otherwise there would be one less superstar in football."

Before the age of 12, C Ronaldo has been very fond of football, but the poor family did not have rich money to buy him a football, C Ronaldo can only use similar to the "ball" object on the road, in the yard to play, childhood C Ronaldo Christmas gift just want a football.

How difficult childhood can be a football as a Christmas gift. He aspired to become a professional footballer and had no training ground, only running on the coast of his home town.

Two, the first into the big city, in the ridicule of respect

His alcoholic father, despite his neglect of the family, was also Ronaldo's first coach and saw his son's true love for football.

For poor families, perhaps a career in professional football would be a life changer. So the 12-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo full of parents ardent expectations, alone to the big city of Lisbon, and to the best club in Portugal.

Sporting Lisbon

When he first arrived here, Ronaldo's rural accent and poor family's natural sense of inferiority became the target of ridicule from the team's children. The young Cristiano Ronaldo knows that only through his constant hard work and scoring goals on the pitch will he gain real respect.

Driven by a strong sense of pride and competitiveness, it is only by running hard, training hard, maintaining a high degree of self-discipline and giving your best performance on the field that the family situation can be changed.

On the court, he was always the best, even after a game he would stay alone, continue to practice. Only by being successful can we not disappoint our expectant parents, and only by performing better can we get out of poverty.

Although not many matches in Sporting Lisbon, but C Ronaldo's hard work, wonderful performance on the field, by the team coach and teammates like.

Looking back on the way to come, from the beginning to Lisbon was ridiculed and despised the day, C Ronaldo finally in the continuous efforts to get respect, won confidence. It was a valuable experience for the future Cristiano Ronaldo.

Three, landing in the European elite, from then on the road to stardom

It wasn't too long in Lisbon and the hard work paid off.

In the summer of 2003, Ronaldo impressed Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson with his performance in a match against the old giants of the Premier League. Manchester United signed the Portuguese boy to the club shortly afterwards.

The name Ronaldo itself is a football legend, after arriving at Manchester United, Ronaldo began to emerge, magnificent feet with technical precision and powerful shots.

Seems to foretell!

Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest star of the future.

In six years at United, Ronaldo scored 118 goals and provided 76 assists in 293 appearances. Helping the team to get back to the top of Europe and win the Champions League again, I am full of glory.

In 2008, Ronaldo became the World Player of the Year.

If Manchester United was the beginning of his journey to stardom, joining Real Madrid is the culmination of Ronaldo's rise to stardom.

During his seven years at Real Madrid, he has broken many records in the team and La Liga, and once again added a strong mark to the honor book.

Four gold MEDALS here, two World Player of the Year, three European player of the Year, four Champions League trophies. The boy who used to cry in Madeira, after vicissitudes of life and experience, eyes no longer have tears, more is a determination and responsibility.

Whether it was at Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and finally back to Manchester United where he made his name, he was there at the dawn of victory.

When he looks back, once difficult childhood is still far away from him, but that precious experience spurred him to step down to today's success.

He gives back to club and country with results, and to his family with wealth.

A great generation of players also has a great mother, even though life is difficult, Ronaldo has been trained into a generation of football stars, she is the spirit of Ronaldo to run hard and keep moving forward.

When his mother was suffering from cancer, Ronaldo returned home to be by her side. The boy who once wanted to give up because of poverty is now full of glory, the pinnacle of football existence, he is the team's hope of victory, and the national hero of the Portuguese national team.

Of course, he is also a filial child, his mother with a small salary to raise C Ronaldo growth, C Ronaldo with their own efforts to repay his family. For Ronaldo, childhood poverty is a lifetime of wealth and experience. Bao Jianfeng from honed out, plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold.
