Cristiano Ronaldo explained in an interview for the Portuguese channel TVI that he took his eldest son to the first place where he lived with his teammate Miguel Paixao.
"I went with Paixao and Cristiano Jr. and we entered the room where I stayed. And my son turned to me and said, 'Dad, did you live here?'. He couldn't believe it", revealed the Portuguese star.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very excited for his son to visit the place where he first lived when he started his football career back in 2002 with Sporting Lisbon.
"I was excited for him to see where I grew up. He already knew Madeira and Marques de Pombal residence. He went up with me and there were the same people who lived there back then", he asserted.
"It moved me, honestly, because I didn't expect to see the same people and that touched me a little", added Cristiano Ronaldo, winner of five Ballon d'Or and four Golden Boots.
The goal of the 34-year-old athlete, current star of Juventus, is for his son to know that not everything is achieved easily in life and that in order to succeed, one must strive to the maximum.
"You think that everything is easy in life. The quality of life, the houses, the cars, the clothes... they think that all of that falls from the sky. That's what I try to instill in my son. Even when I do events at schools. I try to convey to him that talent is not enough. With work and dedication, I believe you can achieve everything you want to do", he emphasized.
