A picture of Ronaldo with his children and a portrait of his father

The fact that Cristiano has a wonderful relationship with her mother Maria is known for a long time, because she not only always supports her son, but also takes an active part in his life. But Ronaldo almost never talked about his father. In one of his interviews, the famous sportsman asked reporters what he can say about the Pope, Cristiano pronounced these words:

"I did not know him well. He paid me little time and attention. I will not dissemble and admit honestly that in my heart I wished that I had another father. I would very much like my father to be proud of me and my successes that I had in my life. Instead, he did not care about me and my life. Despite the fact that my father is no longer for long, I can not forgive him the psychological trauma that he inflicted on me in his childhood with his indifference. Now I would like to say other words about him, but I can not do it. "

"Dad, you will always be with us and in our hearts."
