Introduction
Introduction
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is often considered the
best soccer player in the world and is regarded as one of the greatest of all
time. He is currently playing for the Spanish club Real Madrid, and the
Portugal national team.
As of 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth is roughly $450
million, making him one of the richest athletes in the world.
Early
Life
Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the 5th February, 1985 on the
island of Madeira. He is the youngest of four, with two older sisters, and an
older brother. Life was not often easy for the family, as his father drank a
lot, and his Mom had to work two jobs to maintain stability for the family.
It was on the island that he began playing football (soccer)
and by the time he was 12 he had started making a name for himself. When he was
16 he became Manchester United’s first-ever Portuguese player.
Career
Ronaldo’s career began when he was just 16 years old in
2002; and he was signed for a record fee of $12 million pounds to Manchester
United.
He played as a midfielder for three years before becoming a
break out star in 2006. Before Ronaldo signed over to Real Madrid in 2009 he
had scored over 100 goals for Manchester United.
Ronaldo’s skills and record breaking continued to grow with
Real Madrid. He scored a record breaking 200 goals in 197 appearances, and his
abilities were recognized by numerous other clubs. Several of those clubs have
attempted to buy him from Madrid throughout the years.
To date, Ronaldo has appeared in 330 matches with Madrid and
has scored 340 goals. Not only is that an astonishing statistic, but it has
also helped Ronaldo to win the Player of the Year award multiple times.
In fact, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo are the only two players
to win the award for the past 7 years running! Nobody else has even come close.
