At home, the young boy is affectionately called “Cristianinho,” which translates to “Little Cristiano.” This is because the father and son share a multitude of similarities, particularly their shared passion for playing football. Cristiano Ronaldo himself takes great satisfaction in this, readily supporting his son’s budding success in the sport.
“We will see if our son can become an excellent football player. He has potential. He’s fast and has good passing skills, but that’s not enough. I always teach my son to work hard,” Ronaldo shared. “I don’t place undue pressure on my child to become a football player, but I want that to happen.”
Little Ronaldo Jr. enjoys the finest conditions to nurture his talent. He often frequents the football field to observe his father’s matches, gradually acclimating to the heat and intensity of the game. Notably, he also possesses the opportunity to join the youth teams of renowned clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United, which boast some of the finest training facilities in Europe.
Ronaldo Jr.’s goal-scoring ability is truly remarkable. Much like his father, every time he steps onto the field, he consistently finds the back of the net. According to journalist Edu Cornago, during his time in Madrid, Ronaldo Jr. scored an impressive 50 goals in just 20 matches for the U14 team. Upon joining the Juventus youth team, it took him only 23 matches to record an astonishing 58 goals and 17 assists. On average, he manages to score 2-3 goals per match. After every goal, he doesn’t forget to perform the iconic “Siuu” celebration that has become synonymous with his father. Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores, admitted that her grandson exhibits even greater promise than CR7 did at the same age.
Ronaldo Jr. not only possesses a natural scoring instinct but also the physical attributes necessary to excel as a striker. Some sources indicate that the young boy has already reached a height of approximately 1.70 meters, with the promise of further growth in the coming years. As Ronaldo embarked on his football journey to Saudi Arabia, his son accompanied him and is currently showcasing his skills with Al Nassr’s youth team. Despite frequently changing his living environment, the young boy adapts remarkably quickly.
Recently, Georgina, Ronaldo’s longtime girlfriend, revealed that the children are thoroughly enjoying their new life in the country.
Ronaldo Jr. has taken significant strides in the football world and requires time to fully develop. Yet, with the potential he possesses, the young prodigy is expected to catch up with, and perhaps even surpass, the achievements of CR7. Ronaldo shared his son’s heartfelt wish, stating, “My son told me, ‘Dad, please play for a few more years; I want to play football with you.'”
