Cristiano Ronaldo expressed doubts over son’s chances of reaching top of football in 2020

Will Cristiano Ronaldo Jr follow in his famous father’s footsteps by becoming a professional footballer?

The eldest child of Ronaldo, who turned 12 in June, has already made headlines thanks to his achievements on the pitch.

Back in 2019, it was reported that Cristiano Jr had scored 58 goals in 28 matches in Juventus’s youth ranks.

He then joined Manchester United’s youth team last summer when his dad secured a move back to Old Trafford and appears to have settled in very well indeed.

During a youth tournament earlier this year, for example, Cristiano Jr was filmed scoring a couple of goals for United’s Under-12s and pulling out his dad’s iconic ‘Siuuuuu!’ celebration.

Because of who his father is, Cristiano Jr stands an excellent chance of becoming a pro footballer if he wants it enough.

Although when asked if his son can reach the top at an awards ceremony in 2020, Ronaldo spoke honestly by expressing some of his doubts.

“Not yet,” Ronaldo responded. “I’m hard with him sometimes because he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta sometimes and I’m p***** with him.

“I fight with him when he eats chips and fries and everything, he knows I don’t like it.

“Even my small kids, when they eat chocolate they always look to me and, you know, we have to be strong.”

Ronaldo made headlines during Euro 2020 by moving two bottles of Coca-Cola to one side during a press conference before encouraging people to drink water instead.

It was reported that the carbonated soft drink manufacturer lost up to $4 billion as a result of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s gesture.
