Ronaldo: I am a very lucky person, but luck often requires hard work

Hupu November 06 News Tonight, the second part of Morgan's exclusive interview with Cristiano Ronaldo was released. Cristiano Ronaldo talked about some of his "little stories" -

In your first interview at Juventus, you talked about the story of when you were 13 years old in the youth training of Sporting CP. After training, you and your teammates would go to McDonald's. You were so hungry, and there were two kind-hearted ladies who were willing to give you free burgers. After this interview, we tried our best to find these two ladies. We couldn't find them, but I heard that you met one of them by chance at the airport, right?

We were flying from Riyadh to Lisbon, and a friend of mine said, Cristiano, look what I saw. Do you know that feeling? Even if you meet again after 20 years, you still seem to be able to recognize each other clearly. My kids and Georgina were with me at the time, and I gave him a big hug, and my kids said, "Ah, what are you doing?"

I told this story to my family, and I felt at that moment that there are always surprises in life, and you can never predict what will happen next moment.

What did she tell you? Does she know?

She was a little surprised because she never expected that I would recognize her. She said, oh, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Does she feel that you are that child?

Yes, she told me that every time you go back to Lisbon, because I do similar work, I want to come and see you, but they won’t let me.

This time it was actually because the original employee had something to do, so he replaced me. This is life and life. I told my friend to leave her phone number. I want to do something beautiful when I have free time to really repay her.

Your friend, the one you went to McDonald's with when we were 13 years old, is Jose (he was on set). He told me another story about you. At the age of 13, he was about to be terminated from the Sporting CP youth training. As a result, at the age of 13, you went to the supervisor and begged them to keep your friend. You forced yourself to squeeze out a fifth bed in a room of four. Your friend has followed you to this day. You're 14 years old, broke, no money, asking for free burgers, but look at you now.

I think this is life, and I want to give you a challenge. I think you should interview my good brother. He is worth it. You will like it very much. He is a very interesting person.

As a friend, I may be a fan of the authorities, but all the elites in the industry I know say that the work my good brothers do is really at the forefront of the industry.

I really want you to interview him.

We have already communicated, and what we may talk about is the real him that Ronaldo doesn’t want people to know.

Perfect. I believe the stories he told you will be true.

He told me that without you, he would definitely be kicked out of the Portuguese Sporting youth training and would not be able to play professional football.

I just try my best. I am a very loyal person. A loyal person must have a loyal team and friends. I was probably, 12 years old at the time, you know, kid thinking.

I don’t know how to explain it, but there are times in your life when you do things right and things wrong, and sometimes you don’t even realize what you did wrong or what you did right.

So at that time I didn’t know what the future would be like for me and him. I just did what I felt was right at the time. But now, he is part of my family.

I will tell you that the people around me are very good people. He's a special one, but there are a lot of other good, great guys who are really top-notch.

I am very lucky, but luck requires hard work.
