Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world ,
He is the son of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro (a cooker) and José Dinis Aveiro (a Municipal gardener).
The young kid from Madeira never was a good student in his childhood , he didn't like to study and he was always running away from school ,but the only time he really worked hard was during meals when he and his friends used to play football all the time. Cristiano Ronaldo played on Sporting Lisbon as a youth. In September of 2002, the kid from Madeira Island started his professional career on the Sporting Lisbon pro club team, when he was only 17 years.
In 2003 Ronaldo signed a contract with Manchester United
where he made United’s fans quickly forget David Beckham and he adapt quickly with the team . After a not so brilliant start, Ronaldo started little by little to honor the number 7. He scored goal number 1000 in Premiership for Manchester United in 2005. In 2006, he scored in the Carling Cup Final and helped to win the trophy. Cristiano Ronaldo was the "key" for the Manchester United’s championship after four years and finishing Chelsea’s dynasty. Besides, he took the United to the semis of UEFA Champions League, when a painful loss to Milan ended the dream of the third title of the League.
In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo broke another record by becoming the World's most expensive football player, after transfering from Manchester United to Real Madrid in July 2009, in a £80 million pounds transfer . That was an historic moment, and more than 80 000 fans received and welcomed Cristiano Ronaldo in the Santiago Bernabéu stadium .
In the 2010-2011 season, Cristiano Ronaldo had an outstanding personal performance, breaking several all-time records, not only in Real Madrid, but also in the Spanish League. Ronaldo scored 41 goals in La Liga, breaking the previous 38 goal record set by Hugo Sanchez and Telmo Zarra. CR7 scored a total of 54 goals and once again, won the Golden Boot award, beating Lionel Messi in the way, who finished the season with 53 goals. However, not everything was perfect, since Real Madrid only won the Copa del Rey and failed to conquer the Spanish League and the UEFA Champions League.
And I hope he can do better in 2011 - 2012
