In 2020, Ronaldo was unsure whether his son could have a football career due to his nutritional preferences at the age of 10. « We’ll see if my son will become a great footballer, he’s not there yet, » Cristiano said at the Global Soccer Awards ceremony. “Sometimes he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta and eats chips, and he knows I don’t like that. Another time I told my son to bathe in cold water to recover from a run on the treadmill and he said, ‘Dad, it’s so cold there.’ It’s normal, he’s 10 years old. »
