😢 Cristiano Ronaldo often in tears? Former teammate spills the beans! | OneFootball

It is often read that superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is not always in control of his own emotions. 

Now, a former teammate of the Portuguese superstar has spilled the beans and given insight into his emotional world.

Nani accompanied Ronaldo at the beginning of his world career at Sporting Lisbon. Later, the two were under contract together at Manchester United and played together in the Portuguese national team.

The 39-year-old is currently under contract with FK Aktobe in Kazakhstan and spoke in the magazine ‘FourFourTwo’ about Ronaldo's occasional emotional outbursts.

According to him, Ronaldo stood out from the crowd as a child and knew exactly what he wanted: “Cristiano lived football with immense passion. If he didn’t win or things didn’t go well, he cried,” Nani said.

This showed how committed he was and with what intensity he lived the game.

That the five-time world footballer has not yet stopped at 41 years old does not surprise the left winger. Rather, he is sure that his former teammate will still reach the 1000-goal mark in his career: “I have no doubt about that. It’s a milestone that is important to him and something he has had in mind for years,” said Nani.

According to ‘transfermarkt.de’, Ronaldo currently stands at 956 goals for his clubs and the Portuguese national team – so only 44 more to go.

Sounds doable, right? What do you think: Will Cristiano Ronaldo reach this milestone? Feel free to write it in the comments.
