Cristiano Ronaldo has given his old friend and former football teammate, Albert Fantrau a special recognition publicly after recounting how he sacrificed his own football career so that he(Ronaldo) could become a global football icon today.
Albert Fantrau, who apparently grew up with Cristiano in Portugal and played football with him in their local youth team. Here’s what Ronaldo allegedly said about hand now have to thank my old friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for the same team in the U-18 championship. When a scout came to see us he said that, Whoever scores more goals will come into our academy.”
"We won that match 3-0. I scored the first goal then Albert scored the second with a great header. But the third goal was impressive for all of us. Albert was one-on-one against the goalkeeper, he rounded the goalkeeper and I was running in front of him.
“All he had to do was to score that goal but he passed it to me and I scored the third goal, so I got that spot and went to the academy.
“After the match I went to him and asked him why? Albert said that “Because you (Ronaldo) are better than me.”
After the touching Ronaldo's speech journalists went to Albert’s house to confirm the story from the horse mouth which he apparently affirmed what Ronaldo had earlier said. He also said that his career as a player after the match ended and now is unemployed. But looking around he was living in a well furnished house and there were exotic cars in his garage which prompted a journalist to ask him a vital question “But how did you build this house so great, you have a car? You seem like a rich man. You are unemployed,yet you own a mansion,drive expensive cars. From where did all these come from? ‘
Albert more proudly replied: “It is from Ronaldo!”The house,the cars e.t.c are gifts from Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is a very lovely story, sacrifice and help a friend today for you don't know what tomorrow hold in pack for you.
