CR7 UNKNOWN FACTS

 

This one is not really about Ronaldo -at least not directly, but without this fact, you might never have heard about him.

When you mention CR7, no one will confuse it with another brand. He claimed those who didn't like him felt that way because he was too handsome, rich and talented than any other figure.

Some of the injuries include broken noses and broken wrists. However, it may have gotten a little to his head, as he sprang a chair towards one of his teachers. He was born into a family of four as the last born. However, Ronaldo has surpassed that and is now being studied at a university in Canada.

Fourth-year sociology students at the University of British Columbia Okanagan study the life and career of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Beyond being a great footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo also has a great body that demands admiration both on and off the peach to fans and critiques alike. You may have known that, but what you may not have known is he was named after Ronald Regan, a former U.S President who was greatly loved by Ronaldo's father.

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on 5th February 1985. The following day, Portugal contacted FIFA to retract the yellow card claiming Ronaldo was pulled into the argument. It may be odd sounding, but that's right, we might have been saying CR28.

However, one record that really sticks out as being the most highly paid football player at his age. How's that for impressive!

If you think the jumping force is impressive, you should see how strong and fast his kick is. When other kids would fight on the pitch, Ronaldo would result in tears as his favorite conflict resolution method. But when you exceed all expectations, the world has recognized you. In 2008, he scored a whopping 42 goals and was awarded the FIFA World of the Year Honor.

Cristiano has broken so many records, you might run out of your breath trying to count them all. In 2011, most CR7 critics were proved right as he made a comment that left fans, haters, and critics baffled. His actual name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. Ronaldo attributes his great body to the rigorous workout routine and the discipline to stick to it. Thus, countless brands are running towards him for endorsements.

Some of the products that he has endorsed over time include Coca-Cola, Armani jeans, and underwear, Nike, Konami, Motorola, KFC, Jacob & Co., Fly Emirates, Castrol, Herbalife and myriad more.

His father Jose, was a gardener and the footballer recollects his father was a heavy drinker. Cristiano Ronaldo has owned the number 7 jersey, and it's evident he will not let it go soon.

However, it might not have been so. Aspects such as speed, flexibility, and jumping power. In 2017, his annual income from various sources was $ 93 million.

Despite his great accomplishments, there are many people that don't like Cristiano Ronaldo. There have been reports of Ronaldo kicking the ball and hurting some fans. In his younger years, Albert was admitted to a football academy, however, he turned it down and Ronaldo was taken into the academy. However, Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has no single tattoo on his body and doesn't plan on having any in the foreseeable future.

Above and beyond the aforementioned, Ronaldo is a devout blood donor. His mother advised him to focus on football instead of causing trouble, which from what you can see today, he surely did follow his mothers advise.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was a teenager at just 15 years, he was diagnosed with a racing heart. And hey, what wouldn't you do for your mother, especially if she has brought you with as much hardship as that Maria did. Ronaldo has a museum in Funchal that is dedicated to his life, career, rare photos, trophies, and awards that he has won over the years. His mother, Maria was a cook and a cleaner, and she would work until late night so as to provide for her children and family.

Growing up, Ronaldo didn't have the catchiest of nicknames. Cristiano Ronaldo jumps at 5G -for contextual purposes, G-force is the power it takes to jump, and Ronaldo shares his record with a cheetah. Luck must have been on his side as this was the time he credits to his turning point. After being signed up by Real Madrid, Ronaldo earns £ 365,000 per week, and the deal runs until 2021.

Turns out, having a course about you at a university isn't quite enough. Furthermore, he joined FIFA's 11 For Health Foundation in December 2012. Life must have dealt him a good hand as the surgery was successful, and in a few days, he had recovered and was fit to go back to the pitch for practice.

To be a great football player, there are certain things that you need to take into account. But hey, it just might be worth it.

Despite a rare negated comment every now and then, Ronaldo has got a good heart and the best interest of people at heart. While he may be impressive to watch up close, you may not want to be too close, or else, you might end up with a broken body part. He was referred to by two popular nicknames, 'crybaby' and 'little bee'. When Ronaldo was asked Alfred why he refused the intake position, he simply responded, "You're better than me." The rest, as they say, is history.

Football today has been marked by stars who have inked their bodies in tattoos, from the likes of Dani Alves and Zlatan Ibrahimović. When he joined Manchester, his jersey number was supposed to be 28. During the game, Ronaldo was tackled by one of the opposing players. In 2003, Cristiano was signed to Manchester United and was paid £ 12 million. What a great way to be reminded you're the best than by a museum showcasing all your accomplishments.

As previously mentioned, Ronaldo has a great body that will either lead to envy or respect. This could explain why he has no tattoos as the Red Cross guidelines stipulate that one should not donate blood at least four months after getting a tattoo.

Moreover, CR7 has donated his bone marrow in a bid to help his teammate Carlos Martins' son.

Acquiring university education is the epitome for most people. The aim of the foundation is to create awareness amongst children from conditions such such HIV, obesity, Malaria, and drug addiction.

In 2010 during the World Cup in South Africa, Portugal's inaugural game was against Ivory Coast. He has allocated various workout routines on every day, apart from Tuesday, which is his rest day.

A while back, reports had surfaced that Ronaldo does 3000 abs in a day, but he was categorical in saying that was nothing but malice and unsubstantiated rumors.

When you are Ronaldo, goals are the order of the day. His gross earnings, from salaries, bonuses, off-field earnings and other incomes in 2014 were $ 73 million. Ronaldo's mother is a big fan of Madrid and she may have given him a nudge to Spain.

Furthermore, Madrid is closer to his mother and his roots rather than Manchester. Sir. Alex Ferguson insisted that Ronaldo takes up the jersey number 7, so he could fill in the shoes and work into the panache of his predecessors holding the same number such as Eric Cantona, George Best, and David Beckham.

It has emerged that Cristiano Ronaldo's mother, Maria, had a hand in his moving to Madrid. Yes, cheetah's too, jump at 5G. He has in the past sold his golden boot so that he could donate the money to fund schools in Gaza for needy children. Very little has changed, as few would match his skill and speed when he has the ball.

Ronaldo has accredited his success to Albert Fantrau. The argument that ensued moments later saw both players booked by the referee. Luckily for him, the condition was repaired through laser surgery. The former was because he would more often than not cry if things didn't go his way. FIFA was adamant and retained the referee's ruling, meaning the yellow card was still in effect.

At the tender age of 14 years, Ronaldo was rather popular amongst the other kids. The condition could have potentially led him to hang his boots for good.

Many football fans only know him as Cristiano Ronaldo, however, when you dig deeper, you will find his name is a little longer. The latter nickname was because he was as quick as a bee when he was playing football. They say he is arrogant, aloof, and standoffish.
