Dubai: Fitness has always been a part of his daily routine. Doctors say that he has a physique of 20-year-old at the age of 35. Yes, it’s the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The man who has been spending long hours in the gym just to keep himself fitter than other players and colleagues has got some sort of issues with his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr.
The 10-year-old kid has been a part of Juventus academy and has been coming up quite well as a footballer. Loved and pampered by his great father, Cristiano Jnr., has the knack of having junk diets and that made his father angry.
In an interview during the Player of the Century awards in Dubai, Ronaldo said, “The future is the kids. I see my son (Cristiano Jr) and he wants to look like me. But there is a long way to go for him.”
He further added, “I’m hard with him sometimes because he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta, which is not good for the body. I fight with him when he eats chips and fries and everything – I don’t like it. Even my younger kids, I have four and want what is best for them but when they eat chocolate they always look at me and as a parent and I have to be strong.”
But Ronaldo also mentioned that he loves and believes his son like any other father will do on his 10-year-old boy. He also mentioned that his son has the potential to show his best.
“My eldest son has potential. He’s a big boy, he’s fast and he dribbles well. But this takes a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work. I won’t push for him to be a football player. If you ask me if I want, yes I want but he’s going to be whatever he wants.”
Ronaldo has been a revelation for Juventus since his joining in 2018. He has bagged 64 goals in his 74 appearances with the club. Named as one of the all-time great, CR7 certainly never forgets his duty with his family and also with his club.
