the beautiful game 5 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,448 for a reason. 6 00:00:47,481 --> 00:00:49,283 A distinction accurately painted 7 00:00:49,317 --> 00:00:51,652 by the game's legendary artist-- Pelé. 8 00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:53,554 Football, or soccer as it's known in the US, 9 00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:56,290 is the number one sport in 93 countries. 10 00:00:56,324 --> 00:00:59,327 Most important is to do, for the-- 11 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,395 the foreigners, 12 00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:04,498 for the people who gonna be there, nice show, 13 00:01:04,532 --> 00:01:07,835 and the-- and they receive it well, the people there. 14 00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:10,204 And one can link its worldwide popularity 15 00:01:10,238 --> 00:01:11,739 to its simplicity. 16 00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:13,307 No financial obstacles, 17 00:01:13,341 --> 00:01:15,509 because all you need is a football. 18 00:01:15,543 --> 00:01:16,977 I think it's the only game in the world 19 00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:18,912 that brings every single country together. 20 00:01:18,946 --> 00:01:21,215 Yes, it's one language, it's football, 21 00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:24,885 but what sport does is, it brings everyone together. 22 00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,487 It gets everyone talking. 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,021 From back alleys and side streets, 24 00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:30,023 to muddy fields and scorched sand, 25 00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:33,427 it can be played anywhere by anyone, 26 00:01:33,461 --> 00:01:35,263 boys and girls, rich and poor. 27 00:01:35,296 --> 00:01:37,398 It's inviting to all walks of life. 28 00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:41,669 Football now is a sport which is taken very seriously. 29 00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:44,905 For 3,000 years, this has been the world's game. 30 00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:48,576 And for many centuries, every legend started from the same point. 31 00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:50,744 From Beckham to Pelé and Sir Bobby Charlton, 32 00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:54,548 their journey began the same manner as everyone else. 33 00:01:54,582 --> 00:01:56,049 For 3,000 years, 34 00:01:56,083 --> 00:01:57,618 this has been the world's game. 35 00:01:57,651 --> 00:01:59,253 And for many centuries, 36 00:01:59,287 --> 00:02:01,589 every legend started from the same point. 37 00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:05,259 Cristiano Ronaldo, star player for Real Madrid and Portugal, 38 00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:07,961 was molded from the same humble beginnings. 39 00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:22,876 * 40 00:02:27,515 --> 00:02:29,950 On the fifth of February, 1985, 41 00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,452 a baby boy was born 42 00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:34,087 to Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, 43 00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:37,425 and José Dinis Aveiro. 44 00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:40,361 They were simple people, making their way through life 45 00:02:40,394 --> 00:02:43,631 as a cook and a gardener in Santo Antonio, Funchal. 46 00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:45,499 This small town is located 47 00:02:45,533 --> 00:02:47,100 on the island of Madeira, Portugal, 48 00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:49,437 overlooking the ocean. 49 00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:52,105 Santo Antonio means Saint Anthony, 50 00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:55,108 and on that day, a saint was indeed delivered 51 00:02:55,142 --> 00:02:57,278 into the world of football. 52 00:02:57,311 --> 00:03:00,648 Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. 53 00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:03,317 Named after his father's favorite actor, 54 00:03:03,351 --> 00:03:06,454 US President Ronald Reagan, 55 00:03:06,487 --> 00:03:10,291 Ronaldo's early life hardly resembled a Hollywood movie. 56 00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:12,960 His rag to riches story begins with a childhood 57 00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:15,128 rooted in severe poverty. 58 00:03:15,162 --> 00:03:17,831 His Catholic family, like many others in the town, 59 00:03:17,865 --> 00:03:20,401 struggled to survive. 60 00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:22,670 Food and shelter were considered luxuries. 61 00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,037 And at Christmastime, 62 00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:26,674 there was rarely any sign of Santa Claus. 63 00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:28,509 Their house was a tin-roofed shack 64 00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:29,877 which would often leak 65 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:31,979 due to the warm and powerful thunderstorms 66 00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:34,882 that graced the Portugal coast each summer. 67 00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:37,885 A lot of guys do come out from, 68 00:03:37,918 --> 00:03:40,754 from poverty, hard upbringings, 69 00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:43,624 and that's their motivation. 70 00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:46,159 A lot of that is the motivation that keeps them pushing. 71 00:03:46,193 --> 00:03:49,497 Cristiano was the youngest child. 72 00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:51,131 Having an elder brother Hugo 73 00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:55,068 and two elder sisters, Elma and Liliana Catia. 74 00:03:55,102 --> 00:03:56,670 Quarters were tight, 75 00:03:56,704 --> 00:04:00,708 as Ronaldo, his brother, and two sisters shared one room. 76 00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:03,176 The dirt floor was their bed. 77 00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:06,079 Crumpled clothing served as a pillow. 78 00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:09,517 In addition to the financial hardships of this family, 79 00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:13,153 he also found it hard to make friends his own age. 80 00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:14,422 He was a lonely boy, 81 00:04:14,455 --> 00:04:17,190 and his only companion 82 00:04:17,224 --> 00:04:20,894 became a tattered football he found in an alleyway. 83 00:04:20,928 --> 00:04:23,697 He would take the ball to a nearby wall, 84 00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:25,533 and there, between the cement and stone, 85 00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:27,200 he practiced. 86 00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:30,103 He'd spend every waking hour with his friend, 87 00:04:30,137 --> 00:04:33,841 skipping meals, and sometimes school. 88 00:04:33,874 --> 00:04:37,411 What inspired you to take up soccer? 89 00:04:37,445 --> 00:04:39,580 What inspired you to start playing? 90 00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,950 Well, that one is a tough question, good question. 91 00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:47,721 Hmm... I don't know why I had football. 92 00:04:47,755 --> 00:04:49,890 Maybe because the sports that I, 93 00:04:49,923 --> 00:04:51,825 since when I was a kid, 94 00:04:51,859 --> 00:04:56,063 it's what, um... made me motivation. 95 00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:58,632 Maybe because of my brother, 96 00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:02,603 my father, my cousins. 97 00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:05,238 Because they all play football. 98 00:05:21,622 --> 00:05:23,190 Ronaldo's childhood mirrored 99 00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:24,925 that of another football great, 100 00:05:24,958 --> 00:05:28,496 Edison Arantes do Nascimento. 101 00:05:28,529 --> 00:05:31,264 You probably know him simply as Pelé. 102 00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:33,767 Before becoming a three-time champion at the World Cup, 103 00:05:33,801 --> 00:05:36,437 and scoring over 1,300 goals, 104 00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:38,739 Pelé's career started with an old sock 105 00:05:38,772 --> 00:05:40,674 stuffed with rags. 106 00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:43,644 His father, a minor league footballer, taught Pelé. 107 00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:46,246 And with his unmatched dedication, he flourished. 108 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,916 Pelé would become the youngest player ever to win the World Cup 109 00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:53,654 at just 17 years old, scoring six goals for Brazil. 110 00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:55,022 Love! 111 00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:56,524 Love! 112 00:05:56,557 --> 00:05:57,625 Love! 113 00:05:57,658 --> 00:05:59,059 Love! 114 00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:01,194 And for Ronaldo, much like Pelé, 115 00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:04,765 if it wasn't about football, it was a nuisance. 116 00:06:04,798 --> 00:06:07,300 Football was his life. 117 00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:09,670 He molded his skills playing against everyone 118 00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,304 and anyone, young and old. 119 00:06:11,338 --> 00:06:13,407 Without application, 120 00:06:13,441 --> 00:06:16,544 your talent doesn't mean anything. 121 00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:18,111 You've got to have the two. 122 00:06:18,145 --> 00:06:20,113 Application without talent 123 00:06:20,147 --> 00:06:23,417 is difficult, but you can still maybe get by. 124 00:06:23,451 --> 00:06:25,553 Um, talent without no application, 125 00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:27,455 you've got no chance. 126 00:06:27,488 --> 00:06:29,122 At the age of eight, 127 00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:32,125 Ronaldo joined amateur local team Andorinha. 128 00:06:32,159 --> 00:06:34,528 At that age, this young child was a far cry 129 00:06:34,562 --> 00:06:37,197 from the muscled athlete that commands the pitch today. 130 00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,799 And even though he was skinnier 131 00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,333 and less developed than his competition, 132 00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:43,471 Ronaldo's talents were recognized immediately. 133 00:06:43,504 --> 00:06:46,206 Ronaldo, he started off at a really young age. 134 00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:49,710 I mean, you know, like we all do when we're starting football. 135 00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:53,481 And then when you get to sort of an age of 10, 11, 12 years old, 136 00:06:53,514 --> 00:06:55,683 you'll then start finding that these clubs will be, 137 00:06:55,716 --> 00:06:58,185 and professional clubs, will be looking at you 138 00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:00,554 to see whether they can actually move you forward. 139 00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:02,790 Ronaldo's skills 140 00:07:02,823 --> 00:07:04,458 were creating a great deal of buzz. 141 00:07:04,492 --> 00:07:06,860 Smaller football clubs in Spain, Portugal, and England 142 00:07:06,894 --> 00:07:09,362 are always on the lookout for their next star, 143 00:07:09,396 --> 00:07:11,098 and the competition is tough. 144 00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:12,933 Having the ability to occasionally strike the ball 145 00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:16,937 into the goal is not enough to get you noticed. 146 00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:18,271 The first thing we look for in any player 147 00:07:18,305 --> 00:07:20,608 is what natural ability he's got. 148 00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:22,342 Now, it's not what we can coach him, 149 00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:24,377 it's what has he got that he shows us? 150 00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:25,879 What does he bring to us? 151 00:07:25,913 --> 00:07:27,247 And then after that, you know, 152 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,982 does he got a love for the game, 153 00:07:29,016 --> 00:07:31,284 does he love training, does he love coaching? 154 00:07:31,318 --> 00:07:33,286 Has he got a passion for the game? 155 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,088 And is he full of enthusiasm? 156 00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,625 But first and foremost is his own natural ability. 157 00:07:37,658 --> 00:07:38,626 However, this was not a problem 158 00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:40,027 for the young Ronaldo. 159 00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:43,263 At just 12 years of age, he moved 600 miles 160 00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:46,634 from his poor small town to the city of Lisbon 161 00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,936 where he had an offer from Sporting. 162 00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:52,239 He had the opportunity then to move to a sizeable, 163 00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:55,175 very big club in Portugal, 164 00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:59,312 which then allowed him with his family 165 00:07:59,346 --> 00:08:01,715 to progress and push him forward. 166 00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:05,185 That's where you need the support to actually move forward with your career. 167 00:08:05,218 --> 00:08:07,287 Though he continued to turn heads, 168 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,623 the transition was not easy for Cristiano. 169 00:08:09,657 --> 00:08:11,324 It's hard now to imagine this player 170 00:08:11,358 --> 00:08:13,627 ever had a problem with popularity. 171 00:08:13,661 --> 00:08:16,429 But way before the fancy cars, expensive clothes, 172 00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:21,068 and supermodel girlfriends, Ronaldo was alone. 173 00:08:21,101 --> 00:08:23,436 Miles from home, in a strange city, 174 00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:24,972 school was a struggle, 175 00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,774 and his only redemption came on the pitch. 176 00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:30,110 Constantly bullied by classmates for his Madeirine accent, 177 00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:31,879 and forced to be alone, 178 00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:34,982 he lost faith in his education and teachers. 179 00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:36,784 It reached a boiling point at 14 180 00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:40,287 when Ronaldo threw a chair at an instructor. 181 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,889 He was expelled. 182 00:08:41,922 --> 00:08:44,992 This was not an issue in his mother's eyes. 183 00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:46,660 As his biggest ally, 184 00:08:46,694 --> 00:08:49,697 Ronaldo's mother rallied around her youngest son. 185 00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:53,366 She supported his aspiring football career with gusto. 186 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,836 And with his family's backing, 187 00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:57,738 Ronaldo continued his meteoric rise 188 00:08:57,771 --> 00:09:02,175 into the upper echelons of the beautiful game. 189 00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:04,945 That's what it's all about, it's dedication, keep working. 190 00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:06,747 You haven't got to be too old or too young, 191 00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,381 just keep working at your physique. 192 00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,984 We've constantly got to be trying to bring players 193 00:09:11,018 --> 00:09:12,886 into the first team squad, 194 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,788 so the pressure's there every year 195 00:09:14,822 --> 00:09:16,189 to sort of make sure that the quality's good enough. 196 00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:17,725 But the next year, 197 00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:21,695 Ronaldo was dealt another difficult card. 198 00:09:21,729 --> 00:09:23,396 He was diagnosed 199 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:25,465 with a racing-heart condition, 200 00:09:25,498 --> 00:09:29,502 Surgical ablation which is relatively new 201 00:09:29,536 --> 00:09:31,504 from a minimally invasive standpoint 202 00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:35,609 involves also making burn lesions on the outside of the heart 203 00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:38,646 and also getting rid of that left atrial appendage, 204 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,082 which is the little portion of the heart where the clot forms 205 00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:44,417 that then often can fire off to the body. 206 00:09:44,451 --> 00:09:46,854 Thankfully for us, his mother opted 207 00:09:46,887 --> 00:09:48,221 to let Ronaldo have the operation, 208 00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:51,358 and the rest, as they say, is history. 209 00:09:51,391 --> 00:09:53,060 * 210 00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:55,095 Better than new, the stars aligned 211 00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:59,466 for the young phenomenon on August 12, 2003. 212 00:09:59,499 --> 00:10:01,735 Seventeen years old and already a prime target 213 00:10:01,769 --> 00:10:04,437 among football scouts, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sporting 214 00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:07,708 faced off against football giant Manchester United. 215 00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:09,743 Old Trafford's a far cry from the dirt pitches 216 00:10:09,777 --> 00:10:11,278 of Madeira, Portugal, 217 00:10:11,311 --> 00:10:13,380 and The Red Devils are football icons. 218 00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,215 Undaunted in front of the legendary coach 219 00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:16,750 Sir Alex Ferguson, 220 00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:18,118 and giving the performance of a lifetime, 221 00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:20,287 Sporting won 3-1. 222 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,324 And Ronaldo was the only thing that anyone could talk about. 223 00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:26,794 Manchester United was, for me, I think 224 00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:28,495 that was his stepping-stone 225 00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:31,531 to move his career much more forward. 226 00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,400 Ferguson saw something there in a player 227 00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:36,569 that really could progress and become something big. 228 00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:39,807 And of course we all know today, that's what was the case. 229 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,574 Ironically, it wasn't the assistant coaches 230 00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:43,944 who had the idea to sign Ronaldo to Manchester United. 231 00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,813 It was the players. 232 00:10:45,846 --> 00:10:47,915 On the way home from the match, a few of his would-be teammates 233 00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:50,050 convinced Ferguson that Ronaldo should be 234 00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:51,218 on their side. 235 00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:53,353 But other clubs had taken notice 236 00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:54,988 of the teenage phenomenon. 237 00:10:55,022 --> 00:10:56,589 Ronaldo's path to Manchester United 238 00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,826 was almost derailed by Arsenal's manager 239 00:10:58,859 --> 00:11:00,794 Arsene Wegner. 240 00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:03,030 In fact, Ronaldo was so close to signing with the Gunners, 241 00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:05,265 Wegner gave Ronaldo his own number 9 jersey. 242 00:11:05,298 --> 00:11:09,737 But Ferguson was able to snatch the Portuguese star. 243 00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,604 Remember, he came in as a 17-year-old lad 244 00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:14,141 and really developed himself here as a great footballer, 245 00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:16,509 so I think we are proud of that. 246 00:11:16,543 --> 00:11:17,811 Never one to mince his words, 247 00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:19,479 Ferguson was a visionary 248 00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,614 who led one of the world's best football clubs 249 00:11:21,648 --> 00:11:23,483 for over two decades. 250 00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,618 He brought home 38 trophies, 251 00:11:25,652 --> 00:11:28,021 including 13 Premier League Titles. 252 00:11:28,055 --> 00:11:30,824 The training session, intensity, expectation, 253 00:11:30,858 --> 00:11:33,961 the level of concentration 254 00:11:33,994 --> 00:11:36,029 will always manifest itself in a Saturday. 255 00:11:36,063 --> 00:11:38,999 He's had a amazing career, um... 256 00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:42,635 One that, you know, many managers look at 257 00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:46,406 and want to achieve what he has achieved. 258 00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:50,377 I owe him a lot as a manager for the way 259 00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:52,980 he brought me into Manchester United, 260 00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:55,482 and then he groomed me into a player 261 00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:59,152 that went on to win 19 trophies. 262 00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:00,921 Upon his arrival, 263 00:12:00,954 --> 00:12:03,490 it was requested that Ronaldo wear a special jersey. 264 00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:05,525 Cristiano Ronaldo would don 265 00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,028 the heavily weighted number 7. 266 00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:12,099 And as time would tell, he would immortalize it. 267 00:12:21,274 --> 00:12:23,043 So, you're looking for a father figure 268 00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,345 to look after you and take you under your wings, 269 00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:27,080 and you as a player 270 00:12:27,114 --> 00:12:29,917 would need to trust that particular person. 271 00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,085 And that's obviously what happened. 272 00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:34,287 And when you've got a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson 273 00:12:34,321 --> 00:12:36,689 and the background staff, and the players of course, 274 00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:38,091 help him to settle, 275 00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,793 that would allow him then to 276 00:12:39,827 --> 00:12:41,361 freely play his football. 277 00:12:41,394 --> 00:12:43,964 Ronaldo signed with United 278 00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:48,701 for a transfer fee of an extraordinary 15 million Euros. 279 00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:50,703 You've got a manager that's been there for 20-odd years 280 00:12:50,737 --> 00:12:54,107 that had won pretty much, well, everything in the game. 281 00:12:54,141 --> 00:12:58,178 Unbelievable success record. 282 00:12:58,211 --> 00:13:00,413 I think it's just the way I play. 283 00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,249 Ever since I was a youngster in Madeira, 284 00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:04,617 I've always been a player that enjoyed 285 00:13:04,651 --> 00:13:06,719 taking someone on one-on-one. 286 00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:09,957 It's in my nature, and I've always done this. 287 00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:11,258 He's speedy with the ball, either foot, 288 00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,560 manipulating it, making decisions 289 00:13:13,593 --> 00:13:15,462 in and outside of fullback, 290 00:13:15,495 --> 00:13:18,131 planning and moving into position and done at speed. 291 00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:20,100 And everything was done at great speed. 292 00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:24,171 And I think that was the thing that made me sit up. 293 00:13:24,204 --> 00:13:26,306 Ronaldo wasn't the first young football star 294 00:13:26,339 --> 00:13:29,142 to join Manchester and wear the number seven. 295 00:13:29,176 --> 00:13:31,744 David Beckham began his career with the Red Devils 296 00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:33,914 at the age of just 17. 297 00:13:33,947 --> 00:13:36,283 Beckham was to quickly fulfill his potential 298 00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,318 as one of the world's best, 299 00:13:38,351 --> 00:13:40,653 winning six league titles and two FA cups 300 00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:42,255 at the hallowed grounds of Old Trafford. 301 00:13:42,289 --> 00:13:43,957 He always had a lovely smile, you know, 302 00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:45,959 and he always presents himself well, 303 00:13:45,993 --> 00:13:49,930 but as a young kid, when I got him at 12 years of age, 304 00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:53,766 his great desire was to be the best footballer. 305 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,703 He was a fantastic trainer, practiced all the time. 306 00:13:56,736 --> 00:13:58,771 And at nighttime, he'd come back with the schoolboys 307 00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:00,173 and practice with them. 308 00:14:00,207 --> 00:14:01,942 Much like Ronaldo, 309 00:14:01,975 --> 00:14:04,477 Beckham has played the role of hero and villain. 310 00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:08,581 In a 1998 World Cup second-round match against Argentina, 311 00:14:08,615 --> 00:14:10,250 Beckham, after being fouled, 312 00:14:10,283 --> 00:14:13,786 kicked midfielder Diego Simeone in the calf. 313 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:18,591 Beckham was given a red card and England was eliminated. 314 00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:20,160 Beckham was blamed for the defeat, 315 00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:21,728 and he and his family received death threats. 316 00:14:21,761 --> 00:14:23,796 He was demonized in the media. 317 00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:28,801 Crazed fans hung and burned an effigy of him outside a pub. 318 00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:31,304 You'd much rather have your own fans-- 319 00:14:31,338 --> 00:14:33,941 you do expect a lot of stick from opposition fans, 320 00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:36,543 but you'd much rather have your own fans with you 321 00:14:36,576 --> 00:14:38,445 than against you. 322 00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:41,748 And fans help much more when you're having a bad time. 323 00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:43,383 It's easy to cheer, 324 00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:45,052 to cheer your team when you're doing well, 325 00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:46,553 but when you're having a bit of a rough time, 326 00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:49,122 you need your fans to get through it. 327 00:14:49,156 --> 00:14:51,558 Beckham's the link, if you like, 328 00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:53,393 with these players in the countries 329 00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:56,496 then there's a good chance that he may come over, Ronaldo, 330 00:14:56,529 --> 00:15:00,833 to participate in the US League, the MLS. 331 00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:03,536 And if he does, I certainly think that that would be 332 00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,772 a huge coup for the US. 333 00:15:05,805 --> 00:15:08,508 I'm excited about bringing the team and being part 334 00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:11,378 of the MLS and continuing to be a part of the MLS. 335 00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:14,847 Cristiano Ronaldo's United career 336 00:15:14,881 --> 00:15:16,549 proved to be successful from the get-go. 337 00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:19,052 In his first season, Ronaldo scored the opening goal 338 00:15:19,086 --> 00:15:22,822 in United's 3-0 FA Cup final victory over Millwall. 339 00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:24,257 The first ever Portuguese footballer 340 00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:26,226 to play for Manchester United, 341 00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,595 Cristiano Ronaldo had not only arrived, 342 00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:32,232 but also became Player of the Year. 343 00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:34,701 Ronaldo is heralded as a master striker. 344 00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:37,804 He plays an attacking role better than anyone, 345 00:15:37,837 --> 00:15:40,673 often referred to as "The Sultan of the Step-over," 346 00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:42,609 showing unmatched skill with both feet 347 00:15:42,642 --> 00:15:44,877 and the ability to beat players one-on-one 348 00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:47,447 unparalleled in the rest of the game. 349 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,749 The whole game of the football has changed. 350 00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:51,451 It's completely changed. 351 00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:52,986 You know, you've got all this different dietician-y 352 00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:55,188 type of food that you have to eat now, 353 00:15:55,222 --> 00:15:58,225 and they monitor your heart rate, 354 00:15:58,258 --> 00:16:00,293 your pulse rate, everything. 355 00:16:00,327 --> 00:16:02,162 His height, strength, and vertical leap 356 00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:04,164 give him an edge in aerial challenges, 357 00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:06,633 and the majority of his goals are, in fact, headers. 358 00:16:06,666 --> 00:16:09,369 I think he's been a fantastic advert for the game. 359 00:16:09,402 --> 00:16:12,639 His scoring record, ratio to games played, 360 00:16:12,672 --> 00:16:13,806 is second to none. 361 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,344 Ronaldo, tremendous player. 362 00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:18,778 One of the best players in the world, 363 00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:22,015 if not the best goal-scorer in the world. 364 00:16:22,049 --> 00:16:26,853 And when he scores goals... left foot, right foot, 365 00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,921 he can head a ball, 366 00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:31,324 he can take people on, his step-overs. 367 00:16:31,358 --> 00:16:32,459 At the height of his success 368 00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,927 at Manchester United in 2005, 369 00:16:34,961 --> 00:16:36,829 Ronaldo was dealt a significant blow. 370 00:16:36,863 --> 00:16:38,765 His father passed away. 371 00:16:38,798 --> 00:16:41,134 Jose died due to a chronic liver condition 372 00:16:41,168 --> 00:16:44,671 brought on by years of struggling against alcoholism. 373 00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:47,207 He was only 52 years old. 374 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,943 Ronaldo, only 20 at the time, was hit hard by the loss. 375 00:16:50,977 --> 00:16:52,945 But, as at every moment of hardship in his life, 376 00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:55,615 Ronaldo's mother Maria was there for him. 377 00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:59,952 She's been an unwavering pillar of support and love in his life, 378 00:16:59,986 --> 00:17:02,122 and he's said often that he would not be 379 00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:06,593 where he is today without his mother. 380 00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:08,961 Ronaldo still carries a lingering heartache 381 00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:11,798 for his father's passing, as he never got to share 382 00:17:11,831 --> 00:17:13,966 any of his success with his father. 383 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,936 To this day he never forgets how his dad was instrumental 384 00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:20,173 in getting him started in this sport. 385 00:17:20,207 --> 00:17:23,376 Many think him too much of a peacock, 386 00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:24,977 preening and flashy, 387 00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,646 concerned completely with his image. 388 00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:29,482 He doesn't make it easy, turning many viewers off 389 00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:31,984 with his arrogance and over-confidence. 390 00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:33,920 Where I think he's toned it down, I think, 391 00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:36,189 by hanging with models and other sports stars 392 00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:38,358 that are on the kind of salary that he's on, 393 00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:41,494 um, it has taught him a lot for how to, you know, 394 00:17:41,528 --> 00:17:45,565 look good, but keep it minimum, which he's never done well. 395 00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:48,501 He loves the bling-bling, he loves the solid tan. 396 00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:52,572 But I think he's learned a lot and he's matured a lot. 397 00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:54,641 And that's seen through his fashion 398 00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:56,643 and his clothing choices. 399 00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:58,711 The guy is a total professional. 400 00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,681 What he does in his own time is up to him, I mean, that's-- 401 00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:04,517 He is obviously, I think he gives quite 402 00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:08,155 a good image for a footballer. 403 00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:09,722 Other fans think he dives 404 00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,358 without the slightest contact, 405 00:18:11,391 --> 00:18:13,260 and are annoyed that a player as well built as Ronaldo 406 00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:15,395 would take to the turf so easily. 407 00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,165 Ronaldo's penchant for persuading referees 408 00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:22,034 was highlighted in a 2006 World Cup match against England. 409 00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:24,371 Wayne Rooney, a Manchester United teammate, 410 00:18:24,404 --> 00:18:27,440 was whistled for stamping on a Portugal defender. 411 00:18:27,474 --> 00:18:31,511 Ronaldo immediately started to plead his case to the ref 412 00:18:31,544 --> 00:18:32,879 and Rooney shoved him. 413 00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:34,714 Rooney was given the red card. 414 00:18:34,747 --> 00:18:36,483 And as he left the pitch, 415 00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:39,619 cameras caught Ronaldo winking at his teammate. 416 00:18:39,652 --> 00:18:42,054 Portugal may have won the quarterfinal match, 417 00:18:42,088 --> 00:18:44,724 but Ronaldo didn't win many fans in the process. 418 00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:46,793 Somebody's probably gonna break your legs, 419 00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:49,262 in a-- in a nasty tackle. 420 00:18:49,296 --> 00:18:51,198 Could be Rooney, you never know. 421 00:18:51,231 --> 00:18:54,066 You think? 422 00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,637 He's got, he's got to get you back for one, doesn't he? 423 00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:00,773 Rumors of turmoil began to spread 424 00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:02,575 that tension between Ronaldo and Rooney 425 00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:04,411 following the now infamous wink 426 00:19:04,444 --> 00:19:06,946 would be too much for Manchester United to overcome. 427 00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:10,016 Ronaldo was taking the brunt of the blame. 428 00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:12,419 CR7, as he was known, 429 00:19:12,452 --> 00:19:15,021 was becoming football's greatest villain. 430 00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,659 Soon, reports surfaced that Ronaldo wanted to transfer, 431 00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:22,094 and Real Madrid was his chosen team. 432 00:19:22,128 --> 00:19:26,233 He had to get there by going through Manchester United, 433 00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:28,268 and the progression that he made through that club 434 00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:30,470 enabled him then to move forward 435 00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:33,005 into a Real Madrid team 436 00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:36,809 that today is huge. 437 00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,111 And that's the club that he wanted to go to. 438 00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:41,814 His family, I think, wanted him to go to that club, as well. 439 00:19:41,848 --> 00:19:44,884 His mother, and he was in a situation 440 00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,786 where he couldn't say no. 441 00:19:46,819 --> 00:19:48,355 The press told stories of a torn locker room, 442 00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:50,290 and the team's chemistry in jeopardy. 443 00:19:50,323 --> 00:19:53,092 No one could blame Ronaldo if he left. 444 00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,962 He could've blamed it on the fan reaction, the resentment. 445 00:19:55,995 --> 00:19:58,498 He had a built-in excuse 446 00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:02,034 in that the World Cup incident was too much to overcome. 447 00:20:02,068 --> 00:20:05,137 But Cristiano Ronaldo rarely takes the easy route. 448 00:20:05,171 --> 00:20:08,074 There are things in life that deserve no comment. 449 00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:11,110 This is one more of those that will receive no comment 450 00:20:11,143 --> 00:20:13,145 on my part, for obvious reasons. 451 00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:17,284 I've always respected all my coaches everywhere I've been, 452 00:20:17,317 --> 00:20:19,519 and I always keep the positive things. 453 00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,688 So I always try to learn something new from them. 454 00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:23,490 To talk about people that speak ill of me, 455 00:20:23,523 --> 00:20:25,825 well, it's not something that I'm used to. 456 00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:28,160 People talk ill of me, especially in Portugal. 457 00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:30,363 But I don't spit into the plate that I eat from. 458 00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,699 Does he understand that? Is that correct? 459 00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:34,634 I just try to keep to the positive things. 460 00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:36,102 If you watch the players, the first thing they want 461 00:20:36,135 --> 00:20:37,537 to do at the end of the game is go across 462 00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:40,273 to their own supporters and thank them. 463 00:20:40,307 --> 00:20:43,976 But on the other hand, you've got other clubs where, 464 00:20:44,010 --> 00:20:47,747 if things aren't working out, then the fans can turn on you very quick. 465 00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:50,950 And that's why he's got as far as he has done today, by playing for Real Madrid, 466 00:20:50,983 --> 00:20:54,654 because of his arrogance, his professionalism. 467 00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:56,689 Ronaldo met manager Sir Alex Ferguson 468 00:20:56,723 --> 00:21:00,192 for dinner in Portugal to discuss the situation. 469 00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:03,162 Sir Alex is no stranger to handling football superstars, 470 00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:06,333 and convinced the young striker to stay. 471 00:21:06,366 --> 00:21:09,201 A five-year extension was inked, and Ronaldo became 472 00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:12,939 the highest paid player in the team's history. 473 00:21:12,972 --> 00:21:14,874 They are more or less film stars, movie stars. 474 00:21:14,907 --> 00:21:17,410 The amount of money that's poured into the game now has-- 475 00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:20,713 has risen their status massively. 476 00:21:20,747 --> 00:21:22,915 On the heels of his new five-year deal, 477 00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:26,686 Ronaldo carried the Red Devils to its second of what would be 478 00:21:26,719 --> 00:21:29,589 three straight English Premier League championships, 479 00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:33,225 as well as taking home the UEFA Champions League trophy. 480 00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:37,196 I just try to do my best all the time, season by season. 481 00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:40,533 I try to, to be better, better player, better person. 482 00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:44,036 I try to learn myself all the time. 483 00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:47,206 And, um, I have opportunity to score goals and I score. 484 00:21:47,239 --> 00:21:50,142 One of the gems of Ferguson's legendary career 485 00:21:50,176 --> 00:21:55,147 was keeping Ronaldo in a United uniform for as long as he did. 486 00:21:55,181 --> 00:21:59,652 Ferguson was known for cultivating talent as well as clashing with it. 487 00:21:59,686 --> 00:22:02,254 Tensions between Ferguson and David Beckham 488 00:22:02,288 --> 00:22:03,990 boiled over in 2003, 489 00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:07,126 when following a loss to Arsenal in the FA cup, 490 00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:09,261 Ferguson kicked a boot at David Beckham, 491 00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:12,465 resulting in the Englishman getting stitches above his eye. 492 00:22:12,499 --> 00:22:14,266 David did not have two stitches put in his head, 493 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:16,268 he had no stitches. 494 00:22:16,302 --> 00:22:20,239 So it was a graze, and he's dealt with, with a doctor, 495 00:22:20,272 --> 00:22:23,410 there's no problem, and we move on. 496 00:22:23,443 --> 00:22:24,811 And similar to Beckham, 497 00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:26,779 Ronaldo eventually was granted his request 498 00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:30,817 to transfer to Real Madrid in 2009. 499 00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:34,954 The £80 million transfer fee was a record at that time. 500 00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:36,923 I think we have a player in the top of his game. 501 00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:39,792 We have a player that left Portugal 502 00:22:39,826 --> 00:22:42,094 with an incredible talent, 503 00:22:42,128 --> 00:22:44,263 transformed that incredible talent 504 00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:46,466 in his time in Manchester. 505 00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:49,135 And now knowing a certain coach, 506 00:22:49,168 --> 00:22:51,838 I think he achieved his maximum level. 507 00:22:51,871 --> 00:22:55,007 He's fabulous player. 508 00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:58,411 And normally this kind of players, they make, 509 00:22:58,445 --> 00:23:00,480 uh, they can make a difference. 510 00:23:00,513 --> 00:23:01,681 That's until current teammate 511 00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:03,182 Gareth Bale joined Madrid 512 00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:04,784 transferring over from Tottenham 513 00:23:04,817 --> 00:23:05,952 in the Barclay's Premier League. 514 00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:07,854 Our guys is doing amazing. 515 00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:11,558 He start a little bit... 516 00:23:11,591 --> 00:23:14,627 As I say, like with some injuries, some small problems, 517 00:23:14,661 --> 00:23:17,864 it's normal because he didn't do the preseason, 518 00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:19,932 and after what's happened with him, 519 00:23:19,966 --> 00:23:21,834 a lot of pressure, you know. 520 00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:24,236 It's hard, but I think now he's in a good way. 521 00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:27,674 He helps out a lot, he's integrate more in the team. 522 00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:31,210 People like him, like the supporters 523 00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,846 and the players around him. 524 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,782 I think it's a-- it's a fantastic player, 525 00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:39,686 and I wish that he can help us win trophies. 526 00:23:39,719 --> 00:23:42,354 Cristiano Ronaldo is, for me, the best player in the world. 527 00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:44,223 I think he's a massive factor. 528 00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,993 Why I wanted to come here as well. 529 00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:50,296 I think the team is full of world-class players 530 00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:53,032 and there comes no better than him. 531 00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:55,502 And, uh, it will obviously be an honor. 532 00:23:57,036 --> 00:23:58,370 At first, everyone wondered 533 00:23:58,404 --> 00:24:00,740 if these two could play together in harmony. 534 00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:03,743 It's not difficult for him, but I understand. 535 00:24:03,776 --> 00:24:05,778 If you, if you speak with him, you can see 536 00:24:05,812 --> 00:24:07,880 that he's very exciting to play, 537 00:24:07,914 --> 00:24:10,717 to help the team, to getting better and better. 538 00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,619 But it's better to leave him alone. 539 00:24:12,652 --> 00:24:14,787 Don't make him pressure, do pressure to another players. 540 00:24:14,821 --> 00:24:16,055 Leave him alone. 541 00:24:16,088 --> 00:24:17,724 Because I'm sure 100% 542 00:24:17,757 --> 00:24:20,860 that he's gonna do well for the club. 543 00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:23,763 He gonna help us a lot because he's a fantastic player. 544 00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:26,566 He's a fantastic boy, and he always want to learn. 545 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,735 And this is the most important. 546 00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:31,037 Now, after the first season, 547 00:24:31,070 --> 00:24:33,105 the combination of Ronaldo and Bale 548 00:24:33,139 --> 00:24:37,243 is proving to be deadly for any opposing team. 549 00:24:37,276 --> 00:24:40,880 Cristiano Ronaldo soon became a worldwide phenomenon. 550 00:24:40,913 --> 00:24:44,617 He's the most Google-searched athlete across the globe. 551 00:24:44,651 --> 00:24:48,287 Millions idolize him, and just as many hate him. 552 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,524 He is the ultimate polarizing figure in sports. 553 00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:56,062 I think that Ronaldo coming from a very poor background 554 00:24:56,095 --> 00:24:59,231 has indeed had an effect on his career 555 00:24:59,265 --> 00:25:01,634 and on his business decisions. 556 00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:06,038 I think that he has had to claw his way up 557 00:25:06,072 --> 00:25:08,575 and take every opportunity that's given to him, 558 00:25:08,608 --> 00:25:10,409 but equally, so too 559 00:25:10,442 --> 00:25:11,678 have other people that have come 560 00:25:11,711 --> 00:25:14,213 from much better-off backgrounds. 561 00:25:14,246 --> 00:25:17,349 But I think he's been very clever in the way 562 00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:21,220 that he's used his perhaps skills 563 00:25:21,253 --> 00:25:25,658 that he learned at a young age to his advantage today. 564 00:25:25,692 --> 00:25:27,627 Although much of Ronaldo's skill 565 00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:29,962 was shaped and molded with his fiery determination 566 00:25:29,996 --> 00:25:32,464 and will and pure hard work, 567 00:25:32,498 --> 00:25:34,466 one wonders if this otherworldly talent 568 00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,869 got an assist from destiny. 569 00:25:36,903 --> 00:25:38,971 Born on February 5th, 1985, 570 00:25:39,005 --> 00:25:41,574 under the Aquarian sun and Leo moon, 571 00:25:41,608 --> 00:25:44,644 the stars lit the path for Ronaldo, 572 00:25:44,677 --> 00:25:47,647 equipping him with the relentless passion to be great. 573 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,149 Aquarians are brilliant communicators. 574 00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:53,352 They work well with the media, so they're an absolute gift 575 00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:56,623 to any corporate organization trying to push their wares. 576 00:25:56,656 --> 00:25:59,491 And Ronaldo has made many endorsements 577 00:25:59,525 --> 00:26:01,694 for most products you can think of. 578 00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:03,696 Those born with an Aquarian sun 579 00:26:03,730 --> 00:26:06,398 can be enchanting and often unhinged. 580 00:26:06,432 --> 00:26:09,201 The placement of Mars could tell us that little Cristiano Ronaldo 581 00:26:09,235 --> 00:26:13,505 would become a man of action, a self-sufficient born leader. 582 00:26:13,539 --> 00:26:15,842 It seems even the Cosmos has made it their goal 583 00:26:15,875 --> 00:26:18,244 to see Ronaldo armed with all the traits 584 00:26:18,277 --> 00:26:20,246 of a superior athletic force. 585 00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,815 Ronaldo is a really typical Aquarian. 586 00:26:22,849 --> 00:26:24,751 He just loves the limelight. 587 00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:27,720 And Ronaldo will always want to succeed. 588 00:26:27,754 --> 00:26:30,890 He'll always want to be number one, the best. 589 00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:34,026 And if money comes with it, well, money comes with it. 590 00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:36,663 Aquarians can take it or leave it with money. 591 00:26:36,696 --> 00:26:38,765 But when money really comes to an Aquarian, 592 00:26:38,798 --> 00:26:43,235 it either comes big time, or nothing at all. 593 00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:46,438 In Ronaldo's case, he's made plenty in his life. 594 00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:49,075 But he's not the only one in his family to gain fame. 595 00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:52,211 Ronaldo's older sister, Catia Aveiro is a singer 596 00:26:52,244 --> 00:26:54,313 and signed a record deal in 2013. 597 00:27:30,850 --> 00:27:34,186 Naturally, Ronaldo has always been her biggest fan 598 00:27:34,220 --> 00:27:35,587 as she used to sing around the house 599 00:27:35,621 --> 00:27:37,356 when they were younger. 600 00:27:37,389 --> 00:27:39,325 No matter where her career takes her, Catia knows 601 00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:43,395 her younger brother will always be there to support her dreams. 602 00:27:43,429 --> 00:27:46,365 As Ronaldo's legions of fans grew, 603 00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:48,100 so did his critics. 604 00:27:48,134 --> 00:27:50,602 Ronaldo instantly had a target on his back. 605 00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:52,204 Tabloid magazines and websites 606 00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:54,306 hounded his every move off the pitch. 607 00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:56,909 The word to describe Cristiano Ronaldo... skimpy. 608 00:27:56,943 --> 00:27:58,610 Loves skimpy. 609 00:27:58,644 --> 00:28:00,312 Speedos, I don't get it. 610 00:28:00,346 --> 00:28:02,014 You know, I suppose if you look that good 611 00:28:02,048 --> 00:28:04,283 you can show it off, but he shows it off a lot. 612 00:28:04,316 --> 00:28:05,617 Any celebrity knows 613 00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:08,054 that as fame rises, privacy often falls. 614 00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:10,189 Paparazzi are an issue for any star, 615 00:28:10,222 --> 00:28:13,926 but for a global icon like Ronaldo, 616 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,729 it can be impossible to find a moment's peace. 617 00:28:16,763 --> 00:28:18,931 Watch out, watch out, watch out! 618 00:28:18,965 --> 00:28:22,234 Yo, you're going the wrong way. You're going the wrong way. 619 00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:23,803 Back up! 620 00:28:23,836 --> 00:28:25,171 What are you doing here? 621 00:28:25,204 --> 00:28:26,638 - Back up! - Cristiano! 622 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,009 His home is stalked 623 00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:31,443 by cameramen and videographers, 624 00:28:31,477 --> 00:28:33,479 often provoking him with personal questions. 625 00:28:34,914 --> 00:28:36,749 How's your baby?! 626 00:28:36,783 --> 00:28:38,317 And Ronaldo has clashed 627 00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:40,519 with a paparazzo on more than one occasion. 628 00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,488 It's hard to blame him considering how much 629 00:28:42,521 --> 00:28:44,556 they hawk his every single move. 630 00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:46,025 I think the difference with the Beckhams 631 00:28:46,058 --> 00:28:47,960 is that they're a partnership. 632 00:28:47,994 --> 00:28:51,030 There's one of Ronaldo, there's two Beckhams. 633 00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:53,299 They weren't the people that arrived on the scene 634 00:28:53,332 --> 00:28:54,867 many years ago. 635 00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:58,004 Ronaldo I think is equally making that effort, 636 00:28:58,037 --> 00:29:00,172 but he comes from a very different culture, 637 00:29:00,206 --> 00:29:02,341 a very, very different way of life. 638 00:29:02,374 --> 00:29:03,876 However, his salary does allow 639 00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:06,879 the striker to outrun the paps. 640 00:29:06,913 --> 00:29:08,547 The footballer has some of the fastest 641 00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,616 and most expensive cars on the planet. 642 00:29:10,649 --> 00:29:13,252 Whether he's whipping by in his Bugatti Veyron, 643 00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:15,554 or cruising in his Rolls Royce Phantom, 644 00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:19,691 he has spent nearly $5 million on his treasured car collection. 645 00:29:19,725 --> 00:29:22,461 Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the highest paid sportsman 646 00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,931 in the world, so you can imagine he's gonna have 647 00:29:24,964 --> 00:29:27,633 one of the best collections in the world. 648 00:29:27,666 --> 00:29:30,702 I mean, you can start off, he's got a Bugatti Veyron, 649 00:29:30,736 --> 00:29:33,539 he's got plenty of Lamborghinis, McLarens, 650 00:29:33,572 --> 00:29:36,108 Ferraris, Bentleys, 651 00:29:36,142 --> 00:29:38,911 pretty much anything you can imagine, 652 00:29:38,945 --> 00:29:41,113 Cristiano Ronaldo will have. 653 00:29:41,147 --> 00:29:43,715 The lifestyle is fantastic. 654 00:29:43,749 --> 00:29:45,818 There is money, there are cars, 655 00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:48,187 there are houses, media exposure. 656 00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,656 It's very difficult to live a life in the limelight, 657 00:29:50,689 --> 00:29:53,826 and that's why I think you see a lot of the younger stars 658 00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:56,262 sort of failing, as it would be, 659 00:29:56,295 --> 00:30:00,332 in many aspects of life by the time they're mid-20's. 660 00:30:00,366 --> 00:30:02,734 He likes to be seen, he's got a lot of convertibles, 661 00:30:02,768 --> 00:30:05,104 so he'll pop the roof and people, you know, 662 00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:07,273 he wants people to see him driving these cars. 663 00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:10,009 And that's part of his character. 664 00:30:10,042 --> 00:30:11,043 But he doesn't only fill 665 00:30:11,077 --> 00:30:13,045 his own garage. 666 00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:15,681 Ronaldo promised the five-person training staff of Real Madrid 667 00:30:15,714 --> 00:30:18,084 that if he won the FIFA Ballon d'Or, 668 00:30:18,117 --> 00:30:22,321 he would buy each of them a new car of their choice. 669 00:30:22,354 --> 00:30:24,623 In 2013, Ronaldo went home with the award, 670 00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:25,892 and true to his word, 671 00:30:25,925 --> 00:30:27,759 his training staff was driving home 672 00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:31,597 in their brand-new cars soon after. 673 00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:34,133 Cannot expect a better night than this one ever in my dreams, 674 00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:37,703 so I have to be proud of my work, 675 00:30:37,736 --> 00:30:40,072 what I did during the year. 676 00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:43,675 And this is gonna give me motivation 677 00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:47,980 to work more, and dedicate myself more for the future. 678 00:30:48,014 --> 00:30:50,983 And I hope to be here next year to try to win the third one. 679 00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:52,484 Throughout his career, 680 00:30:52,518 --> 00:30:55,154 Ronaldo made headlines on and off the pitch. 681 00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:58,257 Recently, he announced that there is a junior Ronaldo. 682 00:30:58,290 --> 00:31:01,127 The identity of the mother has never been released. 683 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,963 The boy, named Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. 684 00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:07,266 attends every match with his grandmother. 685 00:31:07,299 --> 00:31:09,801 Ronaldo says he plans to raise him with religious values 686 00:31:09,835 --> 00:31:11,537 and won't spoil him 687 00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:14,006 even though he's being raised in immense wealth. 688 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,975 Ronaldo prides himself on being 689 00:31:16,008 --> 00:31:18,810 a loving and caring dad. 690 00:31:18,844 --> 00:31:21,680 Ronaldo, despite his gargantuan wealth and success, 691 00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:23,682 is always mindful of where he came from, 692 00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:27,053 and the hardships he had to endure to achieve his dreams. 693 00:31:27,086 --> 00:31:28,921 The asphalt alley and stone well 694 00:31:28,955 --> 00:31:30,923 are never far from his thoughts. 695 00:31:30,957 --> 00:31:32,824 If you're looking for Ronaldo 696 00:31:32,858 --> 00:31:35,827 on his day off, you probably won't find him in a local bar. 697 00:31:35,861 --> 00:31:38,697 Odds are he could be at a youth practice in his native Portugal. 698 00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:40,832 Hello, hello. 699 00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:43,102 We pass, pass, pass, pass, and we didn't shoot. 700 00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:46,372 One opportunity, shoot in the net. 701 00:31:56,882 --> 00:31:59,751 I think they play all in the same place. 702 00:31:59,785 --> 00:32:01,687 They have to make this space huge. 703 00:32:04,423 --> 00:32:07,726 Try to be fast, try to, you know, to fake him, 704 00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,396 and try to change acceleration. 705 00:32:10,429 --> 00:32:12,598 Just try to have the ball. 706 00:32:12,631 --> 00:32:14,366 And good control. 707 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,567 Good control. 708 00:32:20,006 --> 00:32:21,040 Good. 709 00:32:25,177 --> 00:32:27,046 Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticized 710 00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,648 for his extravagant spending and lifestyle. 711 00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:32,251 But without question, his heart, support, 712 00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:35,121 and generosity have saved many lives 713 00:32:35,154 --> 00:32:38,124 and given hope to those that most need it. 714 00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:41,893 In December of 2004, 715 00:32:41,927 --> 00:32:45,431 Ronaldo's number 7 was a symbol of hope. 716 00:32:45,464 --> 00:32:47,399 An earthquake off the coast of Indonesia 717 00:32:47,433 --> 00:32:50,002 caused one of the most catastrophic tsunamis 718 00:32:50,036 --> 00:32:51,903 in recorded history. 719 00:32:51,937 --> 00:32:54,840 A six-year-old Acehnese boy named Maltunis 720 00:32:54,873 --> 00:32:57,209 was swept out to sea by the massive wave. 721 00:32:57,243 --> 00:32:59,911 Maltunis was carried into a mangrove swamp. 722 00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:02,914 All he had to survive on was rainwater in puddles, 723 00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:04,583 and packets of dried noodles 724 00:33:04,616 --> 00:33:06,485 that had washed up in the wave. 725 00:33:06,518 --> 00:33:09,921 He was alone like this for 19 days before he was rescued 726 00:33:09,955 --> 00:33:13,859 and reunited with his father and grandfather. 727 00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:16,495 News agencies broadcasted images of Maltunis 728 00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:18,230 wearing a tattered blood-stained, 729 00:33:18,264 --> 00:33:22,468 red football jersey, with the number seven. 730 00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:24,636 The image of Maltunis in that shirt went viral, 731 00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:26,705 as did his story. 732 00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:30,542 The young boy lost his mother and sister in the tsunami. 733 00:33:30,576 --> 00:33:32,944 Touched and heartbroken, 734 00:33:32,978 --> 00:33:36,248 Ronaldo visited Maltunis in Indonesia. 735 00:33:36,282 --> 00:33:37,649 He paid for the boy's education, 736 00:33:37,683 --> 00:33:39,851 and made large donations to rehabilitation 737 00:33:39,885 --> 00:33:42,788 and reconstruction efforts for the community. 738 00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:44,123 Ronaldo also raised funds 739 00:33:44,156 --> 00:33:46,592 for an improved mangrove forestation, 740 00:33:46,625 --> 00:33:49,895 a key element in helping to save Maltunis' life 741 00:33:49,928 --> 00:33:53,132 during the aftermath of this heart-wrenching event. 742 00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:55,801 * 743 00:33:55,834 --> 00:33:57,969 Ronaldo's critics perhaps ignore 744 00:33:58,003 --> 00:34:00,706 the star's many philanthropic efforts. 745 00:34:00,739 --> 00:34:02,474 When Ronaldo found out his biggest fan 746 00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:04,143 had life-threatening cancer, 747 00:34:04,176 --> 00:34:06,678 his world stopped spinning. 748 00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:09,981 His mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 749 00:34:10,015 --> 00:34:13,085 and fought through a series of debilitating radiation 750 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:15,187 treatments to regain her health. 751 00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:18,657 Having seen her suffer, Cristiano generously donated 752 00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:22,928 £100,000 to the hospital that saved his mom's life. 753 00:34:22,961 --> 00:34:25,997 He continues to support charities related to cancer 754 00:34:26,031 --> 00:34:29,000 and helped build a specialist center at Hospital Central 755 00:34:29,034 --> 00:34:30,736 in his native Madeira. 756 00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:33,239 This past year, Ronaldo received a letter 757 00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:36,408 from the family of 10-year-old Erik Cruz Ortiz. 758 00:34:36,442 --> 00:34:39,711 The little Real Madrid fan had a brain abnormality 759 00:34:39,745 --> 00:34:41,313 that required surgery, 760 00:34:41,347 --> 00:34:43,249 and the parents were hoping Ronaldo would 761 00:34:43,282 --> 00:34:45,751 donate a jersey and some shoes 762 00:34:45,784 --> 00:34:47,886 that they could auction off to save money. 763 00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,489 Ronaldo went a few steps further. 764 00:34:50,522 --> 00:34:53,792 He paid the £60,000 for the operation. 765 00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,563 Massive inspiration to-- 766 00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,431 if you go back home to Portugal, 767 00:34:59,465 --> 00:35:01,633 I mean, the whole of the country love him. 768 00:35:01,667 --> 00:35:02,968 People don't know about 769 00:35:03,001 --> 00:35:05,204 the philanthropic work that he does. 770 00:35:05,237 --> 00:35:08,039 A lot of his money goes back into his home country. 771 00:35:08,073 --> 00:35:11,677 He's massively involved 772 00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:14,180 in the slums in Portugal. 773 00:35:14,213 --> 00:35:16,014 He's been doing lots and lots of work there 774 00:35:16,047 --> 00:35:17,816 that people don't know about. 775 00:35:17,849 --> 00:35:19,585 Despite all his fame and wealth, 776 00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:23,422 no one can say that Ronaldo is not a man of the people. 777 00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:26,225 During Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Chelsea 778 00:35:26,258 --> 00:35:28,794 at the UEFA Champions League friendly in Miami, 779 00:35:28,827 --> 00:35:32,931 a fan raced onto the pitch to give Ronaldo a hug. 780 00:35:39,004 --> 00:35:40,972 I remember holding him, saying, 781 00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:43,409 "Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. 782 00:35:43,442 --> 00:35:44,976 "Thank you for all you've done for me. 783 00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:46,612 "I wouldn't have been where I am right now 784 00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:49,815 if I hadn't followed you as a role model." 785 00:35:49,848 --> 00:35:53,685 I said, "I've always followed you since 2005, 2006, 786 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,987 before you were even famous in Madrid." 787 00:35:56,021 --> 00:35:58,089 And I wish I had the jersey, like I said, 788 00:35:58,123 --> 00:36:00,091 to show him that I wasn't lying. 789 00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:02,761 It wasn't just for the fame, I followed him for all, 790 00:36:02,794 --> 00:36:06,398 since he was a teenager just like me, what I am now. 791 00:36:06,432 --> 00:36:07,999 When I knew he had the potential. 792 00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:11,203 So I said, "I followed you, you helped me in life 793 00:36:11,237 --> 00:36:15,407 "get through hard times because I, just like you, Ronaldo, "grew up with a single mom. 794 00:36:15,441 --> 00:36:18,109 "I never grew up without a dad, either, I know what it was like." 795 00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:19,978 And I think the moment that really touched him, 796 00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,847 I said, in his ear, and I remember whispering, 797 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,915 not whispering, but telling him in his ear, I said, 798 00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:27,118 "If I ever, ever had a father figure to help me in my life, 799 00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:30,289 I always looked up to you out of everyone in the world." 800 00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:32,791 Because of everything he's done. 801 00:36:32,824 --> 00:36:35,026 His actions on and off the soccer field. 802 00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:36,795 Ronaldo graciously chatted 803 00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:39,598 with the fan and walked him off with security. 804 00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,500 But the story didn't end there. 805 00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:43,769 Ronaldo wrote a letter to the Florida judge 806 00:36:43,802 --> 00:36:46,305 asking for all criminal charges to be dropped. 807 00:36:46,338 --> 00:36:49,341 I said to him, "Ronaldo, you know, I followed you and everything. 808 00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:53,912 Please, you know, please, don't let the cops take me." 809 00:36:53,945 --> 00:36:55,614 And he said, "Don't worry, I'm gonna take care of you." 810 00:36:55,647 --> 00:36:57,148 In the letter, Ronaldo wrote, 811 00:36:57,182 --> 00:36:59,951 "By all accounts he has a bright future ahead of him, 812 00:36:59,985 --> 00:37:01,653 "and I'd hate see this future ruined 813 00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:03,154 by an error of judgment." 814 00:37:03,188 --> 00:37:05,324 The charges were dropped the next day. 815 00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,496 Cristiano is an athlete who admittedly 816 00:37:10,529 --> 00:37:12,864 takes a lot of pride in the way he looks. 817 00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:16,167 But after all, he does know that it's all about branding. 818 00:37:16,201 --> 00:37:19,638 Ronaldo opened a boutique called CR7 in his native Madeira, 819 00:37:19,671 --> 00:37:22,341 and another in Lisbon in 2008. 820 00:37:22,374 --> 00:37:24,710 Last year, Ronaldo designed his own undergarment line 821 00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:26,912 for men under the CR7 banner, 822 00:37:26,945 --> 00:37:29,047 giving his critics plenty of ammunition. 823 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,483 CR7 is the Cristiano Ronaldo brand, 824 00:37:31,517 --> 00:37:33,919 and I think it's very significant. 825 00:37:33,952 --> 00:37:36,822 I don't think it's as big as Beckham, but then again, 826 00:37:36,855 --> 00:37:39,525 Beckham is the number one known footballer in the world. 827 00:37:39,558 --> 00:37:43,895 Cristiano Ronaldo, I-- wasn't born into fashion, 828 00:37:43,929 --> 00:37:46,565 let's be real, because in the early days 829 00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:48,867 when we saw him with way too much hair gel, 830 00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,370 I mean Dippity-do was like his go-to. 831 00:37:51,403 --> 00:37:53,772 It was just to the extremes. 832 00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:56,908 He's used very block, bold colors, which is very much 833 00:37:56,942 --> 00:38:01,347 Ronaldo's way of using his fashion externally 834 00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:04,516 as well as internally on his underpants and socks. 835 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:07,085 To Beckham, there is no comparison as footballers. 836 00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:09,455 Looks, Beckham, well in front. 837 00:38:09,488 --> 00:38:12,391 Even though a lot of people might have you think different. 838 00:38:12,424 --> 00:38:13,792 He didn't care. 839 00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:15,461 Profits experienced a huge boost 840 00:38:15,494 --> 00:38:17,629 as his brand continues to grow in record numbers. 841 00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:20,899 You have to be in a situation where 842 00:38:20,932 --> 00:38:23,469 you are a role model for the children, 843 00:38:23,502 --> 00:38:26,071 and so as long as they see that that's what you are, 844 00:38:26,104 --> 00:38:29,808 then these companies that want to advertise you to, 845 00:38:29,841 --> 00:38:32,744 well, advertise their brands, then that's what they'll do. 846 00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:34,212 And then, of course, they're in a situation 847 00:38:34,245 --> 00:38:36,114 where they can make their own brand. 848 00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:38,784 They can have their own brand and sell that through. 849 00:38:38,817 --> 00:38:40,552 And then people will buy it. 850 00:38:40,586 --> 00:38:42,421 The amount of money that's poured into the game now 851 00:38:42,454 --> 00:38:44,089 has risen their status massively. 852 00:38:44,122 --> 00:38:48,594 And that also obviously will incorporate 853 00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:51,963 that businesses will want to be linked with them 854 00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,000 and sponsorship deals on top of that obviously 855 00:38:55,033 --> 00:38:58,169 helps to increase their income. 856 00:38:58,203 --> 00:39:00,772 Following in the footsteps of a former Man U player, 857 00:39:00,806 --> 00:39:03,842 Cristiano was on the road to becoming a legend. 858 00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:05,544 You know, I've always liked fashion, you know. 859 00:39:05,577 --> 00:39:08,279 It's something that, I like to look nice, 860 00:39:08,313 --> 00:39:10,682 whether it be on the pitch or whether it's, uh, 861 00:39:10,716 --> 00:39:12,851 you know, out having dinner with family. 862 00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:15,286 Complete with a high-profile girlfriend to match. 863 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,922 Irina Shayk. 864 00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,524 When you're earning the amounts of money 865 00:39:18,557 --> 00:39:21,292 these guys are earning now, especially Cristiano, 866 00:39:21,326 --> 00:39:25,564 then what else does he probably got to spend his money on? 867 00:39:25,597 --> 00:39:26,965 The supermodel and Cristiano 868 00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:28,667 have been an item since 2010. 869 00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,603 Another soccer icon, Lionel Messi, 870 00:39:31,637 --> 00:39:34,440 faces the similar daunting task 871 00:39:34,473 --> 00:39:37,308 of performing on the grand stage of the World Cup. 872 00:39:37,342 --> 00:39:39,878 FC Barcelona's Messi is shorter 873 00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:43,649 and without the marketable good looks of Cristiano Ronaldo. 874 00:39:43,682 --> 00:39:44,983 I just think the way he plays the game 875 00:39:45,016 --> 00:39:47,052 and the goals he scores 876 00:39:47,085 --> 00:39:50,589 and he just looks, 877 00:39:50,622 --> 00:39:52,223 you know, spectacular. 878 00:39:52,257 --> 00:39:54,225 A lot of kids, probably because 879 00:39:54,259 --> 00:39:56,161 of his physical appearance as well, 880 00:39:56,194 --> 00:39:58,163 would want to be Ronaldo more than Messi. 881 00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:02,067 Messi is a great player. Everyone talks about the Messi-Ronaldo. 882 00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:04,135 Messi is a fantastic player, 883 00:40:04,169 --> 00:40:07,072 but he's a great player in a very good team, and I think 884 00:40:07,105 --> 00:40:10,842 Ronaldo's an exceptional player in a not so good side. 885 00:40:10,876 --> 00:40:13,278 Ronaldo looks like 886 00:40:13,311 --> 00:40:15,647 he was constructed in a footballer factory 887 00:40:15,681 --> 00:40:18,517 while Messi is the everyman's player, 888 00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:20,752 which is why many fans gravitate to him. 889 00:40:20,786 --> 00:40:22,187 These two often finish one and two in most 890 00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:24,856 of the Player of the Year Awards, 891 00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:26,992 and are constantly compared with one another. 892 00:40:27,025 --> 00:40:29,160 With Messi being the build that he is, 893 00:40:29,194 --> 00:40:32,097 he relies purely and simply on his footballing ability. 894 00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:35,200 And for that reason, I give it to Messi. 895 00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:38,336 I think you've got your obvious Messis and your Ronaldos, 896 00:40:38,369 --> 00:40:41,372 but what I quite want to see is someone, not necessarily random, 897 00:40:41,406 --> 00:40:43,742 but coming up through the ranks 898 00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:47,579 and maybe a Gonzalo Higuain from Argentina. 899 00:40:47,613 --> 00:40:50,516 You know, a star player, but someone who isn't necessarily 900 00:40:50,549 --> 00:40:52,350 as well known as he probably should be. 901 00:40:52,383 --> 00:40:55,153 Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid 902 00:40:55,186 --> 00:40:57,388 only acerbated the comparisons. 903 00:40:57,422 --> 00:40:59,591 Messi would take home the FIFA Ballon d'Or 904 00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:01,126 for three straight years 905 00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:04,162 before Ronaldo broke his streak in 2013. 906 00:41:55,313 --> 00:41:57,583 Good evening. 907 00:41:57,616 --> 00:42:00,318 There are no words to describe this moment. 908 00:42:12,864 --> 00:42:16,635 I want to thank all my colleagues 909 00:42:16,668 --> 00:42:19,170 and companions at Real Madrid. 910 00:42:19,204 --> 00:42:22,140 The Brazilian and the Portuguese team, 911 00:42:22,173 --> 00:42:24,142 and my family, who is here with me today. 912 00:42:24,175 --> 00:42:26,477 It's a very important prize and, like I said 913 00:42:26,511 --> 00:42:29,480 in the press conference before, I'm very happy to be amongst 914 00:42:29,514 --> 00:42:30,982 the three best players. 915 00:42:31,016 --> 00:42:33,685 For me it's a prize, like I said, 916 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,155 Cristiano won it, and he deserved to win. 917 00:42:54,740 --> 00:42:56,441 Messi and Ronaldo 918 00:42:56,474 --> 00:42:58,509 may be highly regarded in the world of football, 919 00:42:58,543 --> 00:43:01,913 yet on the international stage, both come up short 920 00:43:01,947 --> 00:43:05,516 in comparison to the all-time greats. 921 00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:09,755 Pelé won three World Cups, the only player to do so. 922 00:43:09,788 --> 00:43:12,223 Pelé is the, in my opinion, the best player I've ever seen, 923 00:43:12,257 --> 00:43:13,524 and I've got no reason to change that. 924 00:43:13,558 --> 00:43:15,861 So I put Pelé in front of Ronaldo, 925 00:43:15,894 --> 00:43:18,229 but Ronaldo in front of Beckham, as players. 926 00:43:18,263 --> 00:43:20,365 Looks-wise, I'd put that reverse. 927 00:43:20,398 --> 00:43:22,968 Beckham, Ronaldo, Pelé, in the oil painting. 928 00:43:23,001 --> 00:43:24,770 The other Ronaldo, 929 00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:28,006 Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, 930 00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:30,275 won two World Cups and is the leading 931 00:43:30,308 --> 00:43:33,745 World Cup goal scorer with an astonishing 15. 932 00:43:33,779 --> 00:43:36,882 Diego Maradona captained Argentina 933 00:43:36,915 --> 00:43:39,918 to a World Cup victory in 1986, 934 00:43:39,951 --> 00:43:42,187 and Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend 935 00:43:42,220 --> 00:43:45,423 for helping England to victory in 1966. 936 00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:47,693 Bobby's one of the reasons 937 00:43:47,726 --> 00:43:51,229 that I existed as long as I did 938 00:43:51,262 --> 00:43:52,563 in the early days at Manchester United 939 00:43:52,597 --> 00:43:54,299 because he believed in me. 940 00:43:54,332 --> 00:43:56,467 He believed in the route, the direction 941 00:43:56,501 --> 00:43:58,403 that Manchester had taken 942 00:43:58,436 --> 00:44:01,239 in terms of producing our young players again. 943 00:44:01,272 --> 00:44:04,275 And Bobby played an integral part in that, 944 00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:06,577 and I thank him today for that. 945 00:44:06,611 --> 00:44:08,680 This is the international stage 946 00:44:08,714 --> 00:44:12,117 where football's elite become legends. 947 00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:14,920 With an audience of over 700 million people 948 00:44:14,953 --> 00:44:17,155 watching from all corners of the globe, 949 00:44:17,188 --> 00:44:18,890 it's on this stage that the stars 950 00:44:18,924 --> 00:44:20,826 of the game really shine. 951 00:44:20,859 --> 00:44:23,494 World Cup defeats have placed a lot of pressure 952 00:44:23,528 --> 00:44:25,463 on this summer's 2014 campaign 953 00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:26,998 for Ronaldo and Messi alike. 954 00:44:27,032 --> 00:44:29,901 Well, when the draw happened, 955 00:44:29,935 --> 00:44:30,936 I was not watching. 956 00:44:30,969 --> 00:44:33,204 I was actually sleeping. 957 00:44:33,238 --> 00:44:35,506 I think I have to be honest with you. 958 00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:37,608 It's an extremely difficult group with Germany, 959 00:44:37,642 --> 00:44:40,111 who are always one of the favorites for the title, 960 00:44:40,145 --> 00:44:42,613 and the others, the United States and Ghana, 961 00:44:42,647 --> 00:44:44,582 who also have great teams. 962 00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:47,585 That's why I think it is a difficult group. 963 00:44:47,618 --> 00:44:49,320 Portugal came through the playoffs 964 00:44:49,354 --> 00:44:51,622 after the qualification for the World Cup, 965 00:44:51,656 --> 00:44:53,491 so there's a good chance that they could be 966 00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:55,226 the dark horses of the World Cup. 967 00:44:55,260 --> 00:44:57,262 I think in that group, 968 00:44:57,295 --> 00:45:02,033 Russia will be more constant than has. 969 00:45:02,067 --> 00:45:06,704 They play better, and, um, we drop. 970 00:45:09,875 --> 00:45:12,377 Not in a few moments, points, 971 00:45:12,410 --> 00:45:15,313 that you should don't-- don't lost. 972 00:45:15,346 --> 00:45:18,049 But it's the past, so we play the playoffs, 973 00:45:18,083 --> 00:45:19,885 it was good for us. 974 00:45:19,918 --> 00:45:23,054 We win both games, we play very, very good. 975 00:45:23,088 --> 00:45:24,990 But for Messi and Ronaldo 976 00:45:25,023 --> 00:45:28,659 to establish themselves as two of the game's all-time bests, 977 00:45:28,693 --> 00:45:30,461 they will have to win. 978 00:45:30,495 --> 00:45:33,198 Important-- all competitions is important, 979 00:45:33,231 --> 00:45:38,003 and this one is a special one because it was in Brazil, 980 00:45:38,036 --> 00:45:40,371 will be in Brazil. 981 00:45:40,405 --> 00:45:43,441 For us, Portuguese country, it's very important 982 00:45:43,474 --> 00:45:47,078 because you know, we-- we have history with Brazil, 983 00:45:47,112 --> 00:45:49,680 the culture, and... 984 00:45:49,714 --> 00:45:53,518 And we speak the same language. So it's fantastic. 985 00:45:53,551 --> 00:45:58,189 We are so proud to be part of this big event. 986 00:45:58,223 --> 00:46:00,926 I think Cristiano's chances of becoming a legend 987 00:46:00,959 --> 00:46:02,693 this World Cup will unfortunately 988 00:46:02,727 --> 00:46:06,998 not be solely determined by him and him alone. 989 00:46:07,032 --> 00:46:11,102 It will depend on how the team as a whole performs. 990 00:46:11,136 --> 00:46:12,703 If he can do that again, 991 00:46:12,737 --> 00:46:17,708 then he will earn that legend status. 992 00:46:17,742 --> 00:46:21,346 And rightly so, if he could take Portugal through to win the World Cup. 993 00:46:21,379 --> 00:46:23,248 Portuguese is the same language, 994 00:46:23,281 --> 00:46:26,017 we have a lot of Portuguese there, 995 00:46:26,051 --> 00:46:28,887 and we are very happy for that. 996 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,722 And we, we try to enjoy the, 997 00:46:31,756 --> 00:46:33,591 you know, World Cup, it's, uh, 998 00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:35,626 the main competition for national teams 999 00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:37,395 so we try to enjoy. 1000 00:46:40,932 --> 00:46:42,233 In addition to any pressure 1001 00:46:42,267 --> 00:46:44,069 placed on the players, the host country 1002 00:46:44,102 --> 00:46:46,104 had its own set of issues to sort through. 1003 00:46:46,137 --> 00:46:48,874 Though Brazil was excited about hosting the World Cup, 1004 00:46:48,907 --> 00:46:51,642 the cost of the event, with the massive security 1005 00:46:51,676 --> 00:46:54,245 to not only protect the players but the fans as well, 1006 00:46:54,279 --> 00:46:58,216 the stadium construction costs well over $3 billion. 1007 00:46:58,249 --> 00:47:00,585 Regardless, countries heavily vied for the chance 1008 00:47:00,618 --> 00:47:02,487 of becoming the host country. 1009 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,755 England sent its own football legend and a future king 1010 00:47:04,789 --> 00:47:07,658 to seal the deal, but to no avail. 1011 00:47:07,692 --> 00:47:11,162 Even after winning the bid, but years before the actual event, 1012 00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:15,166 problems arise, as in the case of Qatar. 1013 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,037 However, with Pelé as the face of Brazil's World Cup event, 1014 00:47:19,070 --> 00:47:22,340 this one is sure to become an event for the record books. 1015 00:47:22,373 --> 00:47:24,275 Was a surprise to everyone 1016 00:47:24,309 --> 00:47:26,511 what happened Brazil 1017 00:47:26,544 --> 00:47:28,446 because, uh, 1018 00:47:28,479 --> 00:47:30,348 this is a political problem, 1019 00:47:30,381 --> 00:47:34,319 'cause I mention about the-- 1020 00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:38,489 the football is the big promotion 1021 00:47:38,523 --> 00:47:40,525 of Brazilian country. 1022 00:47:40,558 --> 00:47:43,761 Then when you have an event 1023 00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:48,066 like, uh, World Cup, 1024 00:47:48,099 --> 00:47:50,135 like Confederation Cup, 1025 00:47:50,168 --> 00:47:54,205 uh, you have Olympics, you know, 1026 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,641 then I think everybody should be together. 1027 00:47:56,674 --> 00:47:59,077 But this is a political problem. 1028 00:47:59,110 --> 00:48:02,047 We have that, but no doubt, no doubt, 1029 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,716 the World Cup will be fantastic. 1030 00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:08,319 Love him or hate him, you can't deny 1031 00:48:08,353 --> 00:48:11,189 that Ronaldo's impact on the sport is immense. 1032 00:48:11,222 --> 00:48:12,657 He moves the needle. 1033 00:48:12,690 --> 00:48:14,192 Whether you're cheering his every goal 1034 00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:17,695 or cursing his name, he triggers a reaction. 1035 00:48:17,728 --> 00:48:20,198 He's one of the faces of the game. 1036 00:48:20,231 --> 00:48:23,034 And that face will once again be placed under the microscope 1037 00:48:23,068 --> 00:48:25,670 in Brazil, where the game's best and brightest 1038 00:48:25,703 --> 00:48:29,740 will compete in front of 700 million viewers. 1039 00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:32,610 In the World Cup, questions are answered, 1040 00:48:32,643 --> 00:48:35,746 and the pressure to perform is nothing short of daunting. 1041 00:48:35,780 --> 00:48:37,983 Once you reach a World Cup, this... 1042 00:48:38,016 --> 00:48:39,417 you know, anything can happen. 1043 00:48:48,793 --> 00:48:51,696 To play at the World Cup is an honor, 1044 00:48:51,729 --> 00:48:54,865 and one that players take incredibly seriously. 1045 00:48:54,899 --> 00:48:56,968 The pressure of playing for your country is much greater 1046 00:48:57,002 --> 00:49:00,305 than playing for your club for the simple reason 1047 00:49:00,338 --> 00:49:02,440 that you've got-- you're not only pleasing 1048 00:49:02,473 --> 00:49:04,342 one set of supporters, you're trying to please 1049 00:49:04,375 --> 00:49:07,745 the whole, um, obviously, the whole country. 1050 00:49:07,778 --> 00:49:10,881 And that, hence, there's pressure with that 1051 00:49:10,915 --> 00:49:13,384 in that respect, and you've also got the pressure 1052 00:49:13,418 --> 00:49:18,056 of trying to make people understand and believe that you should be there, 1053 00:49:18,089 --> 00:49:20,891 possibly in front of their own favorite player that plays for their club. 1054 00:49:25,896 --> 00:49:27,298 We deserve to win 100%. 1055 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,908 Fast forward a couple of months and we find Ronaldo 1056 00:49:37,942 --> 00:49:40,911 on the practice pitch with his Real Madrid teammates. 1057 00:49:40,945 --> 00:49:45,516 His performance at the 2014 World Cup is now a distant memory. 1058 00:49:45,550 --> 00:49:48,386 Fresh from winning the UEFA Champions League Cup, 1059 00:49:48,419 --> 00:49:50,521 there were high hopes for the Portuguese striker 1060 00:49:50,555 --> 00:49:54,325 as he scored 17 goals in that tournament. 1061 00:49:54,359 --> 00:49:56,294 And that's not counting the assists. 1062 00:49:56,327 --> 00:50:01,032 Well, it was an unbelievable night to win "La Decima" here in Portugal 1063 00:50:01,066 --> 00:50:04,202 with all this beautiful crowd 1064 00:50:04,235 --> 00:50:07,572 and it's something that we're looking many, many years of. 1065 00:50:07,605 --> 00:50:10,708 Cristiano Ronaldo does it again. 1066 00:50:10,741 --> 00:50:14,079 Every year, I tried to do my best. I score goals, 1067 00:50:14,112 --> 00:50:16,314 and I help the team. 1068 00:50:16,347 --> 00:50:18,249 He also took a lot of punishment, 1069 00:50:18,283 --> 00:50:20,151 irritating a chronic injury. 1070 00:50:20,185 --> 00:50:23,354 An injury that would follow him to Brazil. 1071 00:50:23,388 --> 00:50:27,625 Ronaldo's arrival was coupled with both excitement and speculation. 1072 00:50:30,995 --> 00:50:32,897 He was in great spirits upon arriving. 1073 00:50:39,504 --> 00:50:44,475 But it was a different story during practice sessions in full view of the press. 1074 00:50:44,509 --> 00:50:46,644 We wanna win. We can win. 1075 00:50:46,677 --> 00:50:50,548 We know it's gonna be difficult, but I think we are in good shape. 1076 00:50:50,581 --> 00:50:52,983 He played brilliantly during team qualifiers, 1077 00:50:53,017 --> 00:50:56,654 but it was not the same Ronaldo who took the pitch against Germany 1078 00:50:56,687 --> 00:50:58,589 in Portugal's opening match. 1079 00:51:00,525 --> 00:51:03,394 And the look on Ronaldo's face said it all. 1080 00:51:05,263 --> 00:51:08,599 With a 4-0 defeat and a red card for Pepe, 1081 00:51:08,633 --> 00:51:12,137 Portugal's hopes for victory were all but gone. 1082 00:51:12,170 --> 00:51:15,373 Obviously, it was 1083 00:51:15,406 --> 00:51:17,908 a difficult situation to accept. 1084 00:51:17,942 --> 00:51:22,647 But there is body language that many, many times 1085 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:27,185 pushed the referees to have these kind of decisions 1086 00:51:27,218 --> 00:51:31,021 and to leave a team playing with ten men 1087 00:51:31,055 --> 00:51:32,690 for such a long time 1088 00:51:32,723 --> 00:51:37,628 is obviously a big handicap for the team. 1089 00:51:37,662 --> 00:51:39,564 Ronaldo may have had the game-changing assist 1090 00:51:39,597 --> 00:51:42,032 in the game against the USA. 1091 00:51:42,066 --> 00:51:45,170 Here's Cristiano Ronaldo, oh it's a great cross! 1092 00:51:45,203 --> 00:51:46,404 and it is an equalizer! 1093 00:51:46,437 --> 00:51:48,506 But it was too late to change the outcome. 1094 00:51:48,539 --> 00:51:50,741 USA and Germany would advance 1095 00:51:50,775 --> 00:51:53,778 and Ronaldo would return back to Europe. 1096 00:51:53,811 --> 00:51:56,847 Now back with Real Madrid and in better shape, 1097 00:51:56,881 --> 00:51:58,849 the old Ronaldo has truly returned 1098 00:51:58,883 --> 00:52:02,287 as he scored both goals in a UEFA game against Seville. 1099 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,224 Gets it on to Benzema, on it goes to Ronaldo. 1100 00:52:06,257 --> 00:52:07,425 Oh, yeah! 1101 00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:10,795 It was amazing. A fantastic evening. 1102 00:52:10,828 --> 00:52:13,798 We win a very important trophy, 1103 00:52:13,831 --> 00:52:18,068 and I didn't play fantastic. 1104 00:52:18,102 --> 00:52:21,206 I scored two goals, which in my opinion, 1105 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,708 it was very important for me to give me confidence 1106 00:52:23,741 --> 00:52:26,177 to start well the season. 1107 00:52:26,211 --> 00:52:29,079 So I'm good, I feel happy, one trophy. 1108 00:52:29,113 --> 00:52:30,915 So very good. 1109 00:52:30,948 --> 00:52:33,418 However, even with this promising outcome, 1110 00:52:33,451 --> 00:52:36,354 his injury came back to haunt him. 1111 00:52:36,387 --> 00:52:40,358 Many say it's time for this legendary footballer to take a break. 1112 00:52:40,391 --> 00:52:43,761 If the injury persists, Ronaldo's career in football 1113 00:52:43,794 --> 00:52:45,696 could come to an untimely end. 1114 00:52:48,065 --> 00:52:52,002 And there are other teams that have Ronaldo in their sights. 1115 00:52:52,036 --> 00:52:55,706 As Beckham builds momentum for football in the US. 1116 00:52:55,740 --> 00:53:02,513 We don't want public funding. We will fund the stadium ourselves, 1117 00:53:02,547 --> 00:53:04,649 create a stadium. We wanna create a soccer team, a football club 1118 00:53:04,682 --> 00:53:06,417 that is the people's football club. 1119 00:53:06,451 --> 00:53:08,819 It's simple as that. You know, I've worked 1120 00:53:08,853 --> 00:53:10,955 for some of the biggest clubs in the world 1121 00:53:10,988 --> 00:53:13,891 with some of the greatest players in the world, 1122 00:53:13,924 --> 00:53:15,960 and this is a dream. 1123 00:53:15,993 --> 00:53:18,463 If someone would have turned around to me at 11 years old 1124 00:53:18,496 --> 00:53:22,500 and said, "You're gonna play for Manchester United. 1125 00:53:22,533 --> 00:53:24,835 You're gonna represent England. You're gonna play for Real Madrid, 1126 00:53:24,869 --> 00:53:27,338 AC Milan, the Galaxy 1127 00:53:27,372 --> 00:53:31,141 and then become an owner," I probably wouldn't have believed them. 1128 00:53:31,175 --> 00:53:32,777 Don't be surprised 1129 00:53:32,810 --> 00:53:34,812 if Ronaldo decides to cross the Atlantic too. 1130 00:53:34,845 --> 00:53:38,549 - The girls love you. - No, love you because maybe I play good football. 1131 00:53:38,583 --> 00:53:40,851 Yeah, what about Galaxy?
