"In my family we all love football. I remember one day I was playing in the street and my father told me: 'Why don't you train at the club when I go to work?' I said 'yes, why not?' So, I started to play," Ronaldo was quoted as saying by goal.com.


"I went to train every day and enjoyed being part of the team. I never thought I'll become a professional or go to Man United, Real Madrid or Sporting. At that time, I just wanted to enjoy myself."
