In a recent sharing session, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed about his own journey. In particular, the Portuguese superstar admitted that leaving his home city of Madeira to practice in Lisbon was one of the most difficult things.
“I had to leave Madeira for Lisbon when I was 11 years old. It was not easy, probably the most difficult period of my career. It’s difficult to leave family and go to Lisbon to pursue your dream,” Ronaldo said.

After that, Ronaldo suddenly shared about the future of his son Ronaldo Jr. In fact, to develop his career, the boy born in 2010 needs to go to an academy in Europe soon to practice and live with his teammates. However, Ronaldo admitted that he is not ready for this and may make the “heartbreaking” decision not to let his son go to Europe to pursue a top career. This is said to make it difficult for Ronaldo Jr. to reach out, or even become a professional player.
“I looked at Ronaldo Jr. and wondered if I could let my son leave home at this time. It will be a heartbreaking decision,” CR7 admitted.

From a young age, Ronaldo Jr. showed his potential to become a great player. In the past, the boy had time to practice at the training facilities of Real, Juventus and MU. Wherever he went, he impressed with his ability to score goals.
Last year, Ronaldo Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps to join Al Nassr’s Academy in Saudi Arabia. The boy was quickly given the captain’s armband, helping the home team win the national U23 tournament. However, the training environment at Al Nassr is said to not be enough for Ronaldo Jr. to develop his full potential.
