Consider this: how many of you can recall December 26, 2004? Its impact on humanity was so profound that it swept the entire world off its feet. A 19-year-old star footballer recruited by Manchester united was watching TV as well. A clear picture came to him. He noticed a young boy wearing a Portugal Number T-shirt with Cristiano’s name on it, who had lost everything in the tsunami. This jersey was possibly the only belonging he owned at that time. By finding the youngster and providing for him, the football player ensured that he took responsibility for the boy’s care. It’s CR7.
What makes CR7 so unique?
CR7 is a brand. CR7 is renowned for having a big fan base. Being human—and a terrific one at that—is the theme of CR7. CR7 is legendary. One of the best football players we’ve ever seen is CR7. Indeed. “Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aver,” or “CR7,” popularized the number seven more than David Beckham, George Best, or India’s captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Celebrities are often hated by the public. When things go wrong with celebrities, the media craves those stories that increase their TRP. It could be gossip, a story about a negative event, a failure, or an inappropriate behavior by the celebrity. CR7 Faced a lot of similar challenges and addressed them well.
Can you name a few famous people who rose from the depths of poverty to become adored, modest, kind, generous, and philanthropic people around the world? You might probably think of several names. One of them, CR7, is special.
Cristiano was the fifth kid born into a low-income family. It was challenging to establish in concrete terms the environment in which he lived, where cleanliness is equated with godliness. During his early years, Ronaldo encountered difficulties. His mother worked as a gardener to make ends meet, while his father, an alcoholic, took odd jobs. Although his academic performance was mediocre, he excelled as a football player. He flung a chair in his class in the direction of his teacher once. “He was making comments about my status, appearance, etc.” was his response when asked why.
Despite coming from a low-income family and being an alcoholic, Ronaldo received a lot of wise counsel from his father. His actions as a responsible adult were influenced by this. Early on, Ronaldo’s brilliance was evident in the manner he displayed his football prowess, much like a number 10 would demonstrate his cricket prowess in Mumbai’s winding alleys. Once at the club level, Ronaldo was bullied by both opponents and teammates. Due to his mental and physical strength, he was able to overcome all of these challenges with ease. There are those who call him a whiner. However, he aspires to be the best in whatever he does, and disappointment brings him to tears. Do you have any problems with that?
The path that leads to greatness is a difficult one. Seneca LuciusHe became a standout player for Sporting Lisbon at the age of 17, represented Portugal well in 2004, and guided the squad to a near-Euro Cup victory. After that, the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson signed him to Manchester United, where he developed his skills into what they are now. He has amassed well over 400 goals, surpassed all previous goal scorers for Portugal, and taken home numerous prestigious honors for Portuguese football players. He is considered to be among the greatest of all time, if not the greatest. His competition with Messi isn’t really clever. Football fans have been given a major treat with the El-Classico matches in La Liga.
He can have a reach of up to 3.08 M to score a header from 12 M distant from a goalpost. In order to score a goal, he can dribble past eleven players across the pitch. Nothing is beyond his capabilities. A new player wanted to steal the show from CR7 by arriving two hours early for a practice in an attempt to impress Real Madrid’s supporters and coach. He was taken aback when he got to the stadium. Ronaldo has already been working out for some time.
He is a legend because of his character off the field, not because of his football prowess.
Ronaldo avoided drinking and smoking after witnessing his father’s alcoholism, and he even prevailed in a lawsuit after a tabloid published an inaccurate piece.
I got chills from hearing his story!
I have no doubt that reading this post motivated you as well.
