(DISTANT ROAR OF CROWD)

CROWD: Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

(CHANTING STOPS)

(CAR LOCK BEEPS)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

RONALDO: Winning. That's the most important to me.

It's as simple as that.

(SHOUTING)

(CHEERING)

Year after year, always trying to improve, improve.

With more experience, with more objectives, more desires,

proving to my family, proving to my dad,

that the decisions I took in the beginning, at the age of 12,

were the best ones.

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

There are people who love me. There are people who hate me...

who say that I'm arrogant, that I'm vain or I'm this and that.

That's part of my success.

I was made to be the best.

My dear boy! Your mother's heart almost exploded.

That's what I wanted to say to you too, Ronaldo!

Oh, my dear boy, you deserved it!

RONALDO: The Ballon d'Or is the very best individual award for any player.

It means you're considered the best player in the world.

To see Messi win the Ballon d'Or four times in a row

was difficult for me.

After he won the second or third in a row, I said,

"I'm not coming here anymore."

Why do I come here if I am doing so well for my team?

Why should I come here?

I have to win more Ballons d'Or.

REPORTER 1: The winner of the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or will be announced tonight

at a star-studded ceremony in Zurich.

REPORTER 2: Messi's won four consecutive Ballons d'Or,

unequaled by any other player.

REPORTER 3: Ronaldo is the favorite to win the Ballon d'Or,

scoring 66 goals in 56 games.

REPORTER 1: Ronaldo's numbers are amazing.

Real Madrid in 50 appearances, he scored 59 goals,

he single-handedly dragged Portugal to the World Cup in Brazil

with his goals in the qualifying group stages.

REPORTER 2: In stats alone,

Ronaldo's clearly outdone Messi and Ribéry this year.

RONALDO: For me, the year gone by was the best year of my career.

Without any doubt.

I try to fight with my weapons every day, every match,

throughout my career, to be the best ever.

PRESENTER: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you for joining us live here in Zurich

for the FIFA Ballon d'Or award ceremony 2013.

REPORTER: Will it be Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Franck Ribéry?

And it's Cristiano Ronaldo.

RONALDO: That second Ballon d'Or

was obviously one of the most beautiful moments in my life.

But my ambition ends up always wanting more,

always wanting more.

A new year, goals to score, trophies to win...

That is the way I live my life.

(WHISTLES)

- Good morning. - SON: Good morning.

Good morning, Cris.

Come here!

- Give Daddy a kiss! - Yes. OK.

Silly head.

Let's go.

- Done! - Give me five! Well done.

REPORTER: The Champions League final is almost here

and Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid is searching for a new title.

For the whites, it could be La Decima.

The last time that Real Madrid won the trophy was in 2002.

MAN: ...for sure, Cristiano is doing very well.

REPORTER 2: Clearly, Ronaldo is on top form, clearly ready to win.

RONALDO: I knew that after Real Madrid hired me, the pressure would mount.

Real Madrid wanted to win the Champions League, La Decima,

and obviously, to win, you need to have the best players.

- Whoops! - SON: I didn't get hurt.

RONALDO: Come.

RONALDO: Shall we race to the door?

- SON: Yes. - RONALDO: Now!

I'm gdmg to w'\n\. I'm going to w'\n\.

SON: I won! I won! See?

RONALDO: I was at Manchester for six years.

And... I won practically everything there was to win.

- MAN: Impressive, isn't it? - This is incredible.

MAN: ls there going to be a match or not?

No.

RONALDO: That was when Real Madrid showed up.

They were willing to pay a lot of money for me.

I wanted more. I wanted another league. I wanted a different kind of football,

and I wanted a different chapter, a different challenge in my life.

The stadium was full to welcome me to the team.

90,000 people at the stadium.

I felt like a star, like a pop star or a Hollywood star.

Today the time has arrived. Today we welcome to his new home,

today we welcome Cristiano Ronaldo.

(CHEERING)

RONALDO: For me, I've achieved my childhood dream,

which was to play for Real Madrid.

I didn't expect the stadium to be so full today just to see me.

I can't believe it.

Incredible!

Let's go.

One, two, three.

Ala Madrid I

RONALDO: If I had to choose one title,

the Champions League would surely be the most important.

The mythical Decima was the most wanted trophy in Madrid.

REPORTER 1: Preparing the shot. That one might be a goal.

Goal! Goal for Atlético Madrid.

It's clearly in. Godin scored. Minute 36.

Atlético takes the lead on the scoreboard.

REPORTER 2: Atlético Madrid are absolutely doing a job

on Real Madrid here.

REPORTER 1: 400 million viewers all over the world

in more than 200 countries are watching this match.

And now, Real Madrid needs to improve and recover

if they want to win La Decima.

RONALDO: 87 minutes, 88, I looked for example for Di Maria.

I see him face down, like, "We've gone and lost again."

The final, a good chance to win La Decima.

We have a better team than them, I feel.

And I speak with him and I say, "Come on, let's go,"

because I believe that we're gonna score a goal.

(CHEERING)

Amazing feeling, like we're reborn.

We are dead, and that's when we are reborn.

God gives you a chance and says, "Let's go."

Since we score, I say, "We're gonna win the Champions League."

"We're gonna win."

(CHEERING)

RONALDO: I always say it doesn't matter if you play good or if you play bad.

Most important is to win.

The people memorize in ten years or in 20 years who wins.

And they don't care if the other team played bad

or they had a lot of opportunities. Who wins.

ANNOUNCER: And the world's best player, as well as Real Madrid's,

17 goals in this year's Champions League...

He is a true champion. Nothing is impossible for him.

- Cristiano. - (CHEERING)

RONALDO: Football is so fast and things are coming so fast,

that people don't think about the present.

The present is the most important in everything in life.

The future's gonna come.

The present? It's now. Let's enjoy now.

It's not years ago where you will see you finish your career

and you always think about the future.

RONALDO: As we did the first time,

we're all going to shout together. One, two, three. "Hala Madrid."

One, two, three...

RONALDO AND CROWD: Hala Madrid!

- RONALDO: What car? - SON: Rolls-Royce.

- MAN: Good game yesterday. - RONALDO: Thank you.

MAN: I play. I know all those guys at Real Madrid.

- I just wanted to say good game. - OK.

MAN: Your son is in my kid's class at school.

RONALDO: OK, good.

- MAN: I wanted to say good luck. - Thank you. For you too. Bye-bye.

He's a very big man, isn't he?

SON: Bigger than you.

RONALDO: No. Bigger in size, but Daddy is stronger.

Didn't you know that?

Look. Where's your schoolbag?

Look. Which car is missing?

The Ro...

No, the Rover is outside. Which car is missing here?

Look at them all. Go on.

Which one is missing?

SON: The Porsche?

RONALDO: Look properly! Look properly!

- The Royce. - No.

One that is very fast, very fast.

Lamborghini.

- RONALDO: Ah! You didn't know. - And where is it?

It went to change a tire. A tire blew up.

Go! Go! Go!

I'm going to be a goalkeeper. OK, Dad?

- No, I don't want that. - But I do.

A goalkeeper? Are you joking or what?

- RONALDO: Oy! - SON: Go! Go!

- RONALDO: Oy! - SON: Great defense!

Dad, I'm going to teach you how to shoot a penalty.

To shoot a penalty, you place the ball here.

But don't go too far away because otherwise you won't score.

- RONALDO: Oh, really? - Yes.

You have to shoot hard like this so that you score.

- Oh, really? - Yes, but...

- Will you teach me how to do it later? - Yes. When you're a player...

- What? - You'll see when we play football.

- Are you going to teach me? - Yes.

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

RONALDO: Football has always been my passion.

It was always what I enjoyed doing the most.

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

I was born on the island of Madeira;

more specifically in the neighborhood of Quinta Falcéo.

I wanted to be someone in football.

(MAN SPEAKS OFF CAMERA)

RONALDO: I started playing football at Andorinha.

At the time, my father was Andorinha's kit man.

I stayed at Andorinha for a couple of years. Then I went to Nacional.

It was one of the best teams in Madeira.

And then I went to Sporting,

leaving Madeira at the age of 12 and going to Lisbon,

a different city, the capital.

I remember leaving home. My siblings were crying, my mother...

Even my father was more emotional that day.

But they knew that it was an opportunity I wanted in life.

MIGUEL: At Sporting, we were happy to find a new family.

There were many footballers with plenty of talent.

But Cristiano had something special.

He did different things.

He was never satisfied with the amount he did.

He always wanted more.

MAN: The boy from Madeira, the first training he did,

we never see something like this before.

He was so much better than everybody.

So much better.

It was impossible to be jealous of him

because you are jealous he keeps scoring three goals.

He didn't want to lose. He wants to win.

RONALDO: My parents... to leave a kid at 11 is a big thing.

I cried every day to miss my family.

My father says, "This is what he wants."

"Go, try and let's see what's gonna happen."

"it's very difficult, you know."

We suffer.

People now thinking, "Ah, they have Armani, they have cars,

they have everything."

But they didn't know that we suffered to achieve that.

I have what I have now because I sacrificed a lot.

Dedication, hard work all the time, and belief.

REPORTER: Manchester United have completed two major signings today:

Brazilian midfielder Kleberson

and the young Portuguese star from Sporting Lisbon,

striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

At just 18 years old, Ronaldo's been signed for a record £12,250,000.

MAN: It's the most expensive transfer ever for a kid his age,

around 15 million euros.

On Manchester's website, they say 17.3 million.

I don't understand why it's different.

Probably it went to his manager.

It's one more victory for manager Jorge Mendes.

This was Jorge Mendes's big season.

Tiago, it's Jorge Mendes from Gestifute speaking. Good evening.

I'm in Madrid.

We have to meet up.

One of these days we'll go out for lunch.

REPORTER: Jorge Mendes is one of the most important businessmen

in Portuguese football.

He represents big names like Cristiano Ronaldo and José Mourinho.

REPORTER 2: Jorge Mendes is a super-agent,

with a group of footballers and coaches worth more than 650 million euros.

The businessman does business with all the big names in Europe

and represents Mourinho, Ronaldo, Nani

as well as many other names from Portuguese and international football.

JORGE: OK, very good. Very good.

RONALDO: I met Jorge when I was 16...

...and that's when practically everything began.

JORGE: OK, my friend, OK. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.

RONALDO: I felt a great empathy with him right from the very first moment.

Right to this day, everything Jorge said would happen has happened.

JORGE: So, my friend, tomorrow, finally,

you can watch the best player in the world scoring three goals.

RONALDO: In his job, he's the best.

He's the Cristiano Ronaldo of the agents, no question about that.

(MUTTERS UNDER HIS BREATH)

Tell me who's the best agent in the world. Jorge Mendes.

Tell me who's the best player in the world. Me.

(LAUGHS)

Until January.

JORGE: With Cristiano, in 2003,

he had at that time one year left in his contract with Sporting.

I was with Juventus, Inter Milan, Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia.

Everybody wanted Cristiano. Everybody.

But they wanted to keep him, everybody,

to keep him in Sporting one more year, and next season, he will come with us.

And everybody was preparing contracts.

There was a club that gave me eight million.

Any other agent, you could...

OK, this is something that I'm going to drive the process.

I call Cristiano. "Come here."

"The most important for you, it's your career."

"it's not money at the moment."

And thanks God, Sir Alex Ferguson came and he told me.

"Jorge, leave it with me."

"He will come now with me

and at least he will play 50 percent of the games, I promise you."

That was the key.

He started in Manchester at 18 years old.

This is the story. Nothing is impossible, my friend.

Because Sir Alex Ferguson told me,

"Don't worry. At least he's gonna play 50 percent of the games."

He did a deal with Sporting that night.

11 million. Finished. And he will come next season.

Always, always with me. Nothing, nothing, nothing... Believe me.

Trust me. Trust me. Nothing is impossible.

Nothing! Nothing!

Nothing!

Nothing is impossible, my friend.

Nothing is impossible. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

How are you? Good, yes. Everything is OK.

You flying, huh?

Little Jorge. Dance!

Hold on! Come here.

RONALDO: I am what I am now because I have a great family, of course.

Great friends. The guys who work with me; amazing.

From the coach to the guys who work in the gym,

the guys who work in the dressing room,

the guys who work in your house, do the right food...

Of course, the most important, it's friends and family.

Family and friends.

If they not do what they do, I'm not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Shall we go home?

Let's go home.

Straighten his feet.

- Put him in the back. - C'mon, son, go in the back.

- Open it. - It's open.

- MOTHER: See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow, Mum.

MOTHER: I have limpets at home for you.

I'll tell Henrique to come and get them.

- OK, and can he cook them? - I'll tell him to cook them.

You need to explain to him how to do it.

Hi, how are you?

- Fine. You? - Fine.

(GASPS) Hi, how are you? Fine, and you?

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

RONALDO: Look, Daddy's going to make a drink.

Do you want to try a little bit?

- No. - No? OK. Then I'll do it just for me.

Alright? Or do you not want a little bit?

- Just a little bit. - A little bit for me.

Just a little bit for you to try.

Yes. I want the Portug... No...

- The Ferrari one? - Yes, because it's mine.

The Ferrari one.

See if you like it.

That's for you to become very strong! Look at Daddy's arm, look.

Don't you want to be big like Daddy?

Huh?

Oh, wow!

“Mm!

It's very good.

Come on. Finish painting

so we can go and play football. Come on.

It's nearly done.

You like it, huh?

Good.

You will be... Whoa!

- You're going to be very strong! - Touch it.

That's it. Look at the ball.

I tricked you.

That's it.

That's it.

Now it's bedtime.

Come. This way.

To your bed!

Give Daddy a kiss. Sleep well. Give Daddy a hug.

Come on. Let's go.

Wait! Let me take out the blankets.

Go.

Bye. See you later.

REPORTER: There are twelve days remaining

until Portugal's first game at the World Cup

and the main concern for the Portuguese football team

is the most famous acronym in the world... CR7.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a physical problem.

He is limited by injuries to his thigh and knee.

MAN: Portugal's going to win the World Cup!

(CHEERING)

RONALDO: Before the Champions League, with 15 days to go, I was injured.

I think it was an accumulation.

Every year I play more than 60 games.

Either you stop for two or three months or you learn to live with the pain

and have the psychological strength to endure it.

(FANS SHOUT)

I can endure the pain because I think there's something stronger.

Maybe if I didn't feel the pain, maybe I wouldn't be as good as I am.

(SHOUTING)

MAN: Give us a smile! Give us a smile!

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

(PHONE BEEPS)

Are you joking or what?

Yes?

Yes?

- MOTHER: Hello? - Yes.

- Hello. -Yes, Mum.

- You don't have any network, Ronaldo. - Mum, I'm inside the hotel.

You don't want me to go out to the woods to find a network, do you?

OK. OK. Call me when you have signal.

Will do. OK.

- Here, Ronaldo. Talk to your father! -SON: Hello, Daddy!

- Send kisses. - Kisses.

- Say "Go, Portugal!" - Go, Portugal!

SON: I love you very much.

Daddy loves you very much too, son. Kisses.

- Kisses. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

RONALDO: I always wanted to play and I want to help

and I want to be at my best. This is my weakness.

Of course, I'm not 100 percent, but I cannot say that in the press.

I feel pain every day.

This kind of problem, tendonitis, you have to stop, meaning 20 days.

If I stop 20 days on vacation, I will be perfect, but I can't stop.

I'm gonna play, I'm gonna help national team,

try to give my best and let's see what's gonna happen.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

If we had two to three Cristiano Ronaldos on the team,

I would be more comfortable, but we don't have.

REPORTER: Cristiano, are you feeling 100 percent now?

99.9 percent.

RIHANNA ON Hl-Fl: # Not really sure how to feel about it

# Something in the way you move

# Makes me feel like I can't live without you

# It takes me all the way

(SINGS ALONG) # I want you to stay

OK. This part's cool.

# Ooh

# The reason I hold on

And...

# Ooh

# 'Cause I need this hole gone

RIHANNA ON Hl-Fl: # Funny you're the broken one

# But I'm the only one who needed saving

# 'Cause when you never see the light

# It's hard to know which one of us...

SON: It's Cristiano's favorite color.

# Not really sure how to feel about it

# Something in the way you move

(SINGS ALONG) # Makes me feel like I can't live without you

# It takes me all the way

# I want you to stay

# Stay

SON: I love you, Daddy.

When are you coming back?

It's now. It's now.

ALL: # Ooh!

Beautiful! A round of applause. Beautiful!

REPORTER 1: Wherever the national team goes,

all the attention is on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Naturally, we're talking about the best player in the world.

REPORTER 2: Cristiano Ronaldo says

he feels 99.9 percent ready for the World Cup.

CR7 left for Campinas in a good mood.

REPORTER 3: Cristiano Ronaldo shows that he's confident.

He's not afraid of using the leg that's fragile at the moment.

We need to remember it's patella tendonitis...

Gaspar. Gaspar. Did you bring the ice?

Gaspar, I'm talking to you.

Why are you asking now we're on the bus rather than outside?

He forgot about you yesterday and forgot about me today.

Honestly, Gaspar!

If it had been Cristiano asking,

he'd bring a suitcase full of ice. A suitcase!

CROWD: Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano!

REPORTER 1: There couldn't be more at stake

for Ronaldo and the Portuguese team.

REPORTER 2: It's going to be essential for Ronaldo to do well in this World Cup

he's to retain his Ballon d' v r.

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

Let's g0!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

- The ball, the ball... Ball. - Ball.

Let's crush them!

Go, go. so. so. sol

Let's go! Let's believe we are a great team.

Let's g0!

(ALL YELL)

No. He has the telephone number of the agent.

Don't worry! He will take care of everything.

The match is going to start in half an hour.

(CROWD ROARS)

Hey! (GROANS)

REPORTER 1: Germany lead!

It's Gennany one, Portugal nil, and we've been playing less than 12 minutes.

REPORTER 2: Any other player would not have played in the World Cup

because Cristiano was in no condition to play a World Cup.

Everybody that I spoke to said,

"He's going to put his career at risk."

"He shouldn't play."

It could have become a serious problem.

REPORTER 1: Germany may already be on their way to the three points.

Will Germany get another one?

They do.

It's over. It's over.

RONALDO: You know when you have that feeling that you want to give more

and you don't have that capacity? This is what I feel.

I always work hard to win.

And when you work hard and you work more than the other ones,

you suffer more when you lose.

REPORTER 1: Germany have got four.

Is that game over?

(SHOUTING)

Look here! It's time to wake up.

RONALDO: Frustration starts kicking in on the pitch.

That's what happened.

Frustration, being beaten four-nil,

starting the World Cup in the worst possible way.

It was the worst thing that could have happened to us.

We hadn't met people's expectations,

what the Brazilian people helped us with.

I think we couldn't give it back to them.

CROWD: Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano!

Look at that. Look!

He reacted quickly.

Let her go, man! Let her go!

Let her go!

She was at the hotel waiting for you yesterday.

- This girl? - Yes, the same one.

- I didn't see her. - Cristiano, she jumped this fence.

Yes, security told me.

We'll meet her in a bit. She's fine physically.

She must be physically fit to be able to jump this fence.

- And you? Are you physically fit? - Everything's fine.

- Everything? A hundred percent? - A hundred percent.

Thanks, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Don't they want to talk to me as well?

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for everything.

I did it!

- You did? - I did.

- What did Cristiano tell you? - He knows I exist.

He asked me to stay calm and stop crying, to take care.

He asked what my name is and I asked him to follow me on Twitter.

- Three times a day... - Don't exceed three per day.

- Can I take one now? - Yes, you can.

- At night? - Exactly.

OK. And tomorrow?

If you want to, take it when you're feeling too anxious like now.

I'm going to take one now because I'm already feeling agitated. OK.

- OK? - OK.

- DOLORES: Hello? - What's up, Maria? How's everything?

Have you taken the sedatives?

- Have you taken the sedatives? - What?

Have you taken the sedatives? Take it easy. It's only a game.

Don't be upset, and don't stress out because it'll go well.

It'll go well, God willing.

Take it easy! Don't be upset! It's only a game...

It's only a football game, not a matter of life and death.

- No one's going to die! - OK, but... We have to win!

OK. But take it easy. No worries. No worries. No worries.

OK, then. A kiss, Mum. Bye. Bye.

Carla?

My young man is looking beautiful, isn't he?

- Both of them! - Ha! No, the little one.

I'm talking about the little one.

WOMAN: And so, tomorrow... Are you ready to watch the World Cup game?

DOLORES: I am, but it's always that thing

and it's a match we have to win.

- Of course. - We have to win.

And you see, being old, I get more nervous.

- No, you're not... - It's true. It's true.

I think that when I was younger, I dealt with it better,

whether they won or lost. But not now. I suffer more now.

WOMAN: But, Dolores, you must be used to watching your son's matches by now.

DOLORES: Yes, but when it comes to special matches, it's different.

RONALDO: Can you imagine to take pills just because of one game?

I said to her, "You should relax. You have everything."

"You're not gonna die. This is not a war."

"This is football."

"Someone's gonna win and someone's gonna lose."

REPORTER: This is the second game for Portugal

in the group stage facing the USA.

They need to win after their awful performance against Germany.

RONALDO: She lives my world as well. She lives my joy. She lives my sadness.

It's as if she plays football and not me.

I often say there are times when my mother looks older

because of football.

Goal!

Goal!

Portugal! Portugal! Portugal!

(REFEREE'S WHISTLE)

It's quite complicated for a mother to watch a son who needs to win.

I get sad.

I get worried.

And I suffer a lot.

(SHOUTS ANGRILY)

When he gets hit, it's like they hit me as well.

Because I've always liked football a lot,

I wanted to have a son who'd be a great player.

But I never thought in my life

that I'd have a son who'd be a professional player

and be the best in the world.

(CHILD SQUEALS)

CHILD: Go! Go! Go! Goal!

- Dinis, be quiet! - CHILD: Go! Go! Go!

Now's the time. Score now, Ronaldo!

- DOLORES: No. I'm going outside. - No. No. No.

- Pass me my flip-flops. - But it's not... It's over now!

OK. But pass me my flip-flops!

I'm going on my own. I'm going for a walk.

Oh, Ronaldo! Damn it!

DOLORES: I risked sending my son to Lisbon when he was 12 years old

which wasn't easy at all.

(TEARFULLY) I felt like I was abandoning him,

but it was for a good reason.

Because I worked hard to raise four children.

But he was an unwanted child,

but that son gave me so much joy.

All that I have I owe to that son.

RONALDO: If we don't qualify in a group, then we come home.

It was bad.

However many people turn up, you'll always be well received, won't you?

Is that taxi over there available?

- A photo with you, please? - The first one, yeah?

RONALDO: We had arrived in Portugal.

I didn't say anything to anyone, got in a taxi and went to the hotel

because the next day I wanted to leave. I wanted to go away on holiday.

I didn't even want to go to Portugal.

I didn't want to come to Spain. I wanted to travel.

I wanted to go anywhere else where I wouldn't follow it,

because I was sad.

I have no doubt that the World Cup made my injury worse.

I feel sad. I feel that things are not flowing.

I don't feel any improvement in my injury.

I could have recovered by now.

If I could go back, I wouldn't have gone to the World Cup.

REPORTER: Germany were clearly the better team today

and they deserved to win the World Cup.

But Lionel Messi, he's picking up yet another trophy,

this time for player of the tournament.

The German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer wins the Golden Glove.

MAN: I don't think he found the word to "lose" in the dictionary.

He's still looking for that.

After the World Cup, it was really hard, believe me.

He was really down because he wanted to help his country

and he couldn't, because he was not fit.

He tried his best with all his strength, but he couldn't.

With the injury, we were really worried about him.

We are here, myself, his closest friends.

But ifs our job, our task, to help him recover from bad moments.

It's so important to have people that you love close to you.

Knowing Cristiano as I do,

I knew that he will recover and recover stronger.

Are you playing?

- It's looking hard, isn't it? - It's you.

- You're well trained. - (LAUGHS)

I'm seeing if I'm lucky enough to be able to pay you the 40 euros.

What do you mean?

You're almost like Cristiano "King" Ronaldo.

Nah, not yet. There's still a long way to go.

But it's getting better.

So you're pleased! Come on. Sit here.

I have to watch it, don't I?

It's only us two, right?

What's the suit?

- Spades, spades, spades. - No, no.

Which one was it?

It's spades! Watch out for the game or you'll lose.

RONALDO: In football, I don't have a lot of friends.

People who I really trust, they're not many.

My brother. Ricky.

Luis.

Most of the time, I'm alone. I like to do it myself.

To go to bed whenever I want,

to go to the swimming pool whenever I want.

I have this since I started football.

Five, six, seven...

...eight...

- Three... - Four, five, six, seven.

That's it.

Ten! One, two, three, four, five...

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

That's it. Get off.

Look. It's a draw, the game. We both won.

We'll do the rest this afternoon, alright?

Give me a snuggle and a kiss. Give me a hug, my darling.

RONALDO: I consider myself to be an isolated person.

I know what's best for me.

And the best for me is

I come home, completely disconnect from the world,

media, television, football,

because I know that the next day,

I'll be pulled back into that world again.

I like to be quiet. I like not feeling pressure

after training, after the games.

I like to enter my world. I am at home.

I'm with the people I like. I'm with my son.

And I am at peace with myself.

(SHOUTING)

I have everything. There's nothing that I don't have.

But people are always waiting for me to make a mistake,

to accuse me, to criticize me. It's difficult. It's very difficult.

- You can't sign this? - MAN: Give me the ball!

- WOMAN: Cristiano. - MAN: Sign the ball.

MAN: Cristiano, you're better than Messi.

You're a good player, but I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed.

MAN: Cristiano, look, for the girl. Really?

WOMAN: That's why Portugal can't make the World Cup.

That's my country. I'm supposed to be proud.

(CAMERA CLICKS REPEATEDLY)

MAN: Wait. Wait. I can see him. I can see him.

RONALDO: I think I will always be observed in a different way.

But that's part of what I have achieved in the world of football.

Maybe when I end my career, things will become quieter.

(CAMERA BEEPS)

(CAMERA CLICKS REPEATEDLY)

PRIEST: What name have you chosen for this baby?

WOMAN: Hugo Tomas.

PRIEST: Are you aware that you are obliged to educate him in the faith

so this child can keep God's commandments?

WOMAN: Yes.

PRIEST: And you, the godparents,

are you willing to help his parents in this task?

Yes.

PRIEST: Hugo Tomas, the Christian community receives you with great joy.

I do the Cross on you as a sign of Christ the Savior.

PRIEST: The celebration has concluded.

Congratulations on the new Christian in your home.

And one last thing. Later, outside, if you don't mind,

take a selfie with me. OK?

Have a picture together. Go.

RONALDO: You know, one more member in the family.

Godfather. Good vibes, good energy.

My brother is so happy, and his wife. It's nice.

If you don't have family, it will be very, very tough.

REPORTER: Cristiano Ronaldo has lost his father.

Dinis Aveiro leaves our world at the age of 53.

His condition deteriorated in the month of July.

Cristiano Ronaldo booked an air ambulance to take his dad to London,

but his kidneys and liver couldn't hold out any longer.

DOLORES: Ronaldo's father drank a lot.

He had cirrhosis and he died due to drinking.

Ronaldo did everything he could to save his father,

but he couldn't.

I think it was because he joined the Portuguese Colonial War in Angola

and he returned angry because of the war.

And when he came back, he felt very angry

and although he never mistreated his children, he never did,

I became his victim.

RONALDO: My father, he was very funny when he was drunk.

He used to tell a lot of stories. He used to sing.

He was funny.

He was drunk nearly every day.

And when that happens,

it's not easy to have a conversation to get to know my father a bit more.

I'm not ashamed to say it.

I didn't really get to know my father for real, from the heart,

to open up and tell him things.

I never had those kinds of conversations with him.

If you ask me why my father became an alcoholic, I don't know.

Maybe he was frustrated with life.

I don't know. I don't know and I don't care.

I feel some frustration

because obviously I wanted a different father,

a dad who could be more present to see my achievements.

That's what frustrates me the most.

The fact that he can't see all my successes as a player,

as a person, as a father as well.

But I think that I managed to handle things in his absence.

Give me five!

Ah! You tricked me.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the father of a boy.

The news was announced by the footballer himself on Facebook and Twitter.

The Portuguese international doesn't reveal the mother's name

and says he'll have sole custody of the child.

Ronaldo announced the birth of his son first in English and then in Portuguese

so there were no remaining doubts.

But as for the mother's identity, not a word.

Irina Shayk is Cristiano Ronaldo's current girlfriend,

but everything suggests that the son is from a previous relationship.

REPORTER 2: For two hours,

the reporters waited for a glimpse of the idol and his son.

It was only CR7, who left his house

to say that he was happy but upset at the same time.

I'm happy, but you disappoint me. You're always here disturbing me.

Always walking around the house. And you make me upset by doing this.

REPORTER 2: Regarding the mystery

surrounding little CR's mother, not a word.

REPORTER 3: Are you going to announce anything else about the child?

What do you mean?

REPORTER 4: The big question we all have is if the child was...

That's pointless. That's pointless. It's pointless to ask because...

REPORTER 3: Was it done at a clinic?

Don't go there. It's pointless. I've said everything I have to say.

I'd like you to give me some privacy.

You can color it here, here, here...

- OK? - OK.

RONALDO: I always had this dream of having a son

to be my successor.

I wanted to be a young father, and I was.

I was 25.

Because I wanted to be able to follow him

during his development as a person, as a man.

That was always a dream of mine.

Obviously, Cristiano has been a big influence on me.

I have learnt to be calmer, more cautious.

I have learnt a lot about being a father.

People speculate that it was with this girl or the other,

or a surrogate mother. I've never told anyone and never will.

I think I should keep that to myself.

And later, when Cristiano is grown up, then I will talk to him

and tell him what I did, what I felt, everything that went through my mind.

Some kids never get to know their parents,

neither father nor mother. Having a father is good enough.

I don't care what other people say. it doesn't bother me.

I always thought, and still think, that he will understand me.

(LAUGHS) I can't believe it!

I can't believe it!

DOLORES: He doesn't have anybody apart from his father and me,

and so he does spend a lot of time with me.

- Now how is he going to score? - Ah!

Pass! Pass it forward!

DOLORES: I'm not bothered about who the mother is.

I just want to give my grandson love

and educate him as Ronaldo asked me to,

as I did for him.

He reminds me of Ronaldo when he was a child

and I see little Cristiano just like his dad.

SON: Goal!

Daddy!

Great!

Look, it was Daddy!

(YELLS)

(LAUGHS)

REPORTER 1: La Liga has kicked off

and Real Madrid have their first win of the season,

the goals coming from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

REPORTER 2: Cristiano shoots and... Goal!

The winner of the Ballon d'Or!

- The best player of last season! - REPORTER 3: Goal! Goal! Goal!

REPORTER 4: Opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hat trick for Cristiano Ronaldo.

REPORTER 5: It's been an incredible start

to the season for Cristiano Ronaldo.

If he continues with this form,

he'll certainly go on to retain the Ballon d'Or.

REPORTER 3: Goal! Goal! Goal!

REPORTER 4: Six goals in La Liga so far for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Scored a hat trick at the weekend.

He's looking very fluid. There's no sign of the injury

that slowed him down at the end of last season.

He's back to his top goal-scoring ways.

REPORTER 2: Cristiano scores his 11th goal of the season.

REPORTER 1: As the season progresses,

Cristiano's just getting better and better.

Fourth-highest scorer of all time for Real Madrid,

22 hat tricks and 266 goals after 256 games.

REPORTER 5: This year's Ballon d'Or

is looking more and more certain for the world's best.

REPORTER 6: The goal record of Cristiano Ronaldo is astonishing,

even surpassing the total number of goals

scored by some teams in the Spanish league.

REPORTER 2: Hat trick for Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's his 13th goal in the league in only seven matches.

REPORTER 4: It's five-nil, it's a hat trick.

He can do the Incredible Hulk thing.

Two minutes to go. Cristiano Ronaldo, man of the match, man of the moment.

The astonishing Cristiano Ronaldo.

RONALDO: You have to show yourself that you really are good.

That's always my priority,

to prove to myself that I still have the ability,

that I can do better things, wanting to win more than other people,

demonstrating that I'm better than others.

REPORTER 4: He's gone to the left.

And then this side from Ronaldo. Ronaldo keeps on going.

Cristiano Ronaldo, 15 league goals so far this season.

RONALDO: For me, every year, it's a new challenge.

I don't care if last year, I scored 100 goals.

This year, I have to be the same.

I want to live like a king. This is why I work hard.

Your son says that you're going to score two goals.

One for me and one for him.

- RONALDO: Yes, yes. A dream. - Yes. He said that to me.

We'll win five-nil.

God willing.

Yes. Goodbye. Speak soon. Kisses. Speak soon.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

JORGE: Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

No, I'm not living on the phone.

Now I'm living inside the phone.

REPORTER: The Ballon d'Or is obvious.

I don't need to ask your opinion.

But you'll be there on January 12th.

Are you expecting an emotional reaction from Cristiano Ronaldo if he wins?

I can only tell you I don't know what is going to happen.

The only thing I can tell you

is that there has never been a year like this one.

The difference between first and second is so big that there is no doubt.

And if Cristiano doesn't win,

it would be best that they stopped doing this event,

that it didn't appear any longer in the history of this trophy.

Because the difference, truly, is so great,

because it's not even worth anyone asking,

"Will it be A, B or C?"

The difference is so great that in the history of this trophy,

there has never been so great a difference as this year, 2014.

The difference was an abyss, and so there can only be one winner.

Well, that's OK. I'll organize it.

JORGE: You're going crazy!

No, no. I was talking to someone here.

With the father of a footballer who's going to be phenomenal.

OK.

RONALDO: It's an extra motivation that he prods me all the time

and always roots for me, believing that I can always do better,

believing that I can always be even better.

His desire to show the world that I'm the best ever

is a reason for happiness.

He became an older brother. He became a father.

Jorge is another member of my family.

HUGO AVEIRO: I'm the brother of the best footballer in the world

and so I don't need anyone to notice me. I don't need that.

My father taught me it's better to keep silent.

My father used to say, "A silent person wins more."

If I applied myself and trained, I'm sure I'd also be a footballer.

I'm absolutely sure of it.

I had some talent.

Ronaldo could have gone down the wrong path.

But he took the right path, and I was happy that he chose that path,

working to become a footballer.

I've had issues with addiction.

I was already drinking at the age of 20.

I worked for a long time with my father. I worked in construction.

30 years ago, everyone working in construction

would drink alcohol. Everyone.

I asked for help. Then I had a relapse again.

Then, on my own, I told myself it was enough

if I wanted to have a decent life and if I didn't want to die young.

I stopped, and until today, my life's healthy. Thank God.

From the day I pulled myself together, Ronaldo has always helped me.

We have to get away from people who are always in trouble.

Addictions, drugs and alcohol won't get us anywhere.

RONALDO: He knows that he made mistakes.

He made some mistakes in life, and he's the first to admit that,

and these are moments he managed to overcome.

And so for me today, he's someone that I trust with my projects.

He owns my museum. He's my right arm in many things.

He's someone I will trust for the rest of my days

and he's a businessman.

Like they say, if we won't help our family, who will we help?

He might have gone through a bad period,

but God gave him a new start which was having a perfect family.

SON: Thank you, brother, for all you've done.

Thank you, brother, for all you've done.

Thank you, brother, for all you've done.

ANNOUNCER: Throughout legend and mythology,

there are stories of great duels.

When the two greats of a generation must meet in battle.

Two gladiators in an arena

in a fight to the death.

In any other era,

these two extraordinary warriors would have no match.

There is a day when history is burnt into the fabric of time,

a day when football legends are born.

This day has a name.

El Clésico.

I can't. I can't. I can't now.

OK. OK. Look! Do you know something?

Do you have any idea what day it is today?

Forget that! Call me after the game! Call me after the game!

RONALDO: Real vs Barcelona, it's always big games. Always.

Especially here in Bernabéu.

Basically, it's the best players in the square.

Every year when we play against Barcelona, it's always the same.

Hello.

Will you give your godfather a kiss?

Who will win?

- Who will win? - Madrid!

- Huh? - Madrid!

Real Madrid. How many goals will Daddy score?

Two? No, Four! Two is not enough.

- Four, four, four. - Four.

At least four.

I'm afraid of the other guy.

He's the only one who can win the Ballon d'Or. Huh?

The other guy could destroy everything.

JORGE: No. No, he won't.

RONALDO: I think rivalry is always created by the press.

The relationship with Messi, in the last year, was much better.

We've spoken more about ourselves.

He asked me about my injury,

how my old injury was from the World Cup,

asking about the family...

I looked at him not as a rival but as a person

who makes me a better player and I make him a better player.

We are always busting our balls to see who's better.

Penalty! Penalty! Penalty! Penalty!

Penalty! Hey!

REPORTER 1: Cristiano Ronaldo is at the ball.

This is a spot he hardly ever misses from.

- Cristiano shoots and goal! - (CHEERING)

An equalizer in El Clésico.

REPORTER 2: 16 goals for Cristiano in La Liga,

and the fifth penalty for the Portuguese player.

They appear to be on the best form ever.

Ronaldo and Real Madrid are clearly imposing themselves

in this match against Barcelona.

ANNOUNCER: Goal, Cristiano.

REPORTER 1: The three points stay with Madrid at the Bernabéu.

Real Madrid and the fans celebrate this very important victory

for Carlo Ancelotti's team. A three-one win.

The local team, Real Madrid, was undoubtedly better than Barcelona.

It's a huge party here at the Santiago Bernabéu.

(SHOUTING)

RONALDO: The people I trust the most and that I feel the most...

MAN: Esteem. Esteem.

- RONALDO: Esteem and friendship for. - MAN: And feel friendship for.

RONALDO: If you want to talk, you can do it!

But in fact the people I trust the most are present here.

I want that to be clear. It's true. I'm saying it from the heart.

I hope we can do this again

because it'll mean we're happy and things are...

- And alive. - Alive and doing well. Thank you, all.

- MAN: Well done! - (CHEERING)

- To the best! - Health!

MAN: The best thing to do is put all your money

in that vault you have in your room.

It doesn't fit. Do you think it fits in there?

Big Jorge! We started from nothing.

Jorge, we started from nothing and now...

Big Jorge didn't have anything either. He went around selling videotapes and...

- And playing music. - And look at the man now.

Straw hats.

- And now he's always wearing Rolex. - This one's a fake.

I come from a good family. They were just dirt poor.

They were.

- Old times! - Great episodes.

Great episodes lived with big Jorge.

Now for the best one, Jorge.

You need a drink.

(CHEERING)

JORGE: As for my friend Hugo,

I still remember the past and things that don't need to be talked about now.

I'm proud of him because he overcame his adversities.

To think back then, that we'd be here today,

and you've got businesses in your hands

and ambitions for a bright future for you and your family.

I'll give you a kiss.

Now, after the mother I had,

you're the mother I'd have liked to have had.

This is... This is...

My special son.

I don't need many words, because he knows it.

I live obsessed about him every day. But he deserves it.

It's not because... You could not be everything you are.

But I'll tell you something, I fight for you every day.

I feel very proud to be able to fight for you every day.

I want to do it with conviction. You deserve it.

You're a lot more than I could ever do for you!

It's nothing.

In terms of your value, I could do twice what I do.

It'll never be enough to be up to your level,

your quality, both human and sporting qualities.

You're a monster!

This is the best in the world, the best footballer in the world.

The best sportsman, I tell you. And I mean it.

There's really no doubt about it.

He's the best in the world and everyone will recognize that for sure.

All the world. No one will be indifferent to that.

He's the best sportsman in the world ever

and I'm proud to be standing next to a guy like this

because it's a truly impressive thing!

(CHEERING)

MAN: Oscar! Give him an Oscar!

If I didn't know you, I'd ask you for an autograph.

- Jorge... - You lost your glass somewhere.

A toast to Jorge!

(CHEERING)

Jorge is the best.

Jorge. Top!

Top, top, 10P-

(ROAR OF PLANE ENGINE)

RONALDO: The Ballon d'Or is a day when your heart beats faster.

You sweat more. You're more anxious,

more tired, both psychologically and physically.

It's a very intense day.

My mother, my siblings, I feel they were also very nervous.

Even Jorge Mendes. Everyone who was with me.

It stays for life.

People who like me, the family, the fans,

they never forget about it

because it's the climax of a year's work,

of a career that started when I was 11 years old,

playing football always with the goal of being the best,

winning trophies, winning titles,

having a good life, making money...

Everything. It's all part of the same package.

It's a card inside an envelope that can change so much.

You're a chicken.

My son accompanying his dad and seeing with his own eyes

the glories of his father, that's unique.

He's already proud of me. He shows off my trophies.

That makes me an even happier person.

SON: You're a clown!

RONALDO: I'm the same as you.

DOLORES: Let me see if your hands are cold.

You're cold.

RONALDO: I just had a shower to wash bad luck away from my body.

- DOLORES: To wash what? - RONALDO: Bad luck.

MAN: Come here. Take a photo with me and Ronaldo, please.

DOLORES: You need to be very well behaved

otherwise Daddy won't buy you anything tomorrow.

Otherwise Daddy won't win.

SON: I always do. And will you cry?

DOLORES: I will. I'm always the first one to cry.

(SHOUTING)

- Why are they shouting? - Because of the players.

DOLORES: What did they call you when you went outside?

Who's that guy there? Who's that guy over there?

The one wearing a suit. Who is it?

Go on. Go on.

Are you OK? Yes?

High-five him.

What's up? Are you well?

Are you being shy now?

He's shy now.

Who's that? He's being shy now.

- Look at that shyness! - He can't believe it's him!

- It's Messi. - RONALDO: Give Daddy a kiss.

SON: A kiss? Why?

(LAUGHTER)

- I'm always giving you kisses. - DOLORES: He can't believe it.

And why do you like playing football?

Bye- Bye.

Done.

(SHOUTING)

(MAN SHOUTS)

CROWD: Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

You'll see that I'll end up without any teeth.

Come here.

(both cheer)

Nearly there, nearly there...

Wait!

You see?

Everything's possible.

"And he was crazy for her!"

Done!

(CHEERING)

You're the best, man! The best!

(APPLAUSE)

DOLORES: He was a child that I wanted to abort.

God didn't want that to happen, and I was blessed because of that,

and God did not punish me.

Sometimes Ronaldo makes fun of me

and says, "You didn't want me to be born."

"But now you see that I'm here helping all of you."

And, well, sometimes, we have a laugh about that.

JORGE: It's like a family relationship.

And after that, I'm passionate about his game,

about the way he plays, the way he dedicates himself.

I see Cristiano like a son,

like a real son.

HUGO AVEIRO: I've lived life's sorrows,

so did Ronaldo, and life took a turn.

It's been a journey.

Life can really turn around. The world is round.

He's our protector and he always helped us

and everything we have today we owe to him.

RONALDO: Today's a very, very good day.

Small party, you know, here, so it's good.

The family grow up. It's nice. It's nice.

The family's happy, and when the family's happy, I'm happy too.

He's going through a great moment of fame.

He is, these days. I'm enjoying it greatly.

- How does a father feel? - He's really standing out.

The father likes it. It's always good. I feel emotional.

RONALDO: I love the pressure.

When I'm not gonna have this pressure,

I want to take my boots, put them aside

and finish my career. That's it.

(CHEERING)

CROWD: Cristiano! Cristiano! Cristiano!
