Ronaldo, a football superstar, a billionaire, a playboy and a philanthropist, what a wonderful combination. This is not a comic book superhero we are talking about, he is a real person. A do-gooder and a passionate soul.
Here are 9 remarkable qualities of young superhero Cristiano Ronaldo.
1. He regularly donates blood.
The 24-year-old soccer star has been regularly donating blood and plasma for the past four years. This commitment is why he has chosen to remain tattoo-free, as blood donors must wait 6-12 months after getting a tattoo before they can give again.
2. He spends a lot of time doing charity work.
Although Cristiano does not “advertise” this practical action, journalists always find out when he donates large sums of money for the surgeries of young fans, the reconstruction of destroyed houses or the funding of hospitals. According to the regular news about his charity work, he does it as often as he donates blood.
Cristiano Ronaldo shared: “My father always taught me that if you do good deeds and help people, God will reward you double!”
3. He never forgets old friends
This football star often visits his old friends and cares for them, giving them gifts. For example, to enhance their friendship, Cristiano gave Albert Fantrau a huge mansion. Because in the regional qualifying match for Sporting CP, Albert gave his chance to Cristiano.
4. He loves his family very much.
Fame, a huge fan base, millions of followers and an impressive bank account have not affected any of Cristiano’s basic values: family is the most important thing. He would rather spend his holidays with his big, noisy, loving family than on a secluded island in a huge mansion. A fancy party is not as good as a cozy, quiet night with his kids.
5. He communicates easily and openly with fans
It’s not easy to spend the right amount of time with each fan when you have a whole “army”. So some of them will feel sad or disappointed. However, Ronaldo’s fans don’t feel that way. Even when he was running late at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he still took the time to leave the bus stop and comfort a crying young fan. He hugged the boy and gave him an autograph.
6. He can make people laugh
Cristiano Ronaldo is a funny guy. It was hilarious when he dressed up like a homeless person and spent an hour playing soccer on the streets of Madrid. He talked to strangers, asked women for their phone numbers, told jokes, and enjoyed the moment when no one could recognize him.
7. Ronaldo loves football, not money
Cristiano Ronaldo loves football more than anything and is willing to play football even without being paid. After Real Madrid won the Champions League, he donated his entire salary to charity, more than half a million Euros.
8. Ronaldo is not afraid to express his feelings
And finally, he is a strong, confident and very sensitive person. Experiencing a wide range of emotions, Cristiano is not afraid to show them in public. Whether they are positive or negative emotions, he cries, laughs and celebrates with the same passion.
9. He is always willing to help, even when his opponents need it.
A powerful yet touching act – Cristiano helped the opposing team’s player to the bench. This player determined the fate of the Portuguese team in the 2018 World Cup. We think that in this situation only Cristiano could keep calm and help another player with dignity and respect.
