Lord Cristiano at 33

One of the greatest in the history of football, Cristiano Ronaldo, is now 33 years old. On February 5, 1985, Cristian Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro suffocated in the Portuguese city of Funchal. Growing up in a modest family, from a very early age, he realizes that he has to fight a lot to achieve something. Among all my outstanding football qualities, his strong ambition and irreconcilability play a key role.



At 12 years he goes to Lisbon and sets his own path to glory. He was quickly spotted by genius Sir Alex Ferguson and made a jump from Sporting (Lisbon) to Manchester United. For much this step is too big and too hasty. Not for Chris. Without delay he began to build a name with supersonic breakouts on the left flank, phenomenal performances and goals.


After winning the Golden League and the Champions League trophy, he decided to take on a new challenge - namely to play in the ranks of the world`s most glorious club:Real Mad rid. Since 2009, Ronaldo has crushed a record after a record with the Spanish colossus team. He wins the Champions League three times between 2014 and 2017. His biggest success, however, is certainly the triumph with Portugal at the European Championship in 2016. Thrilling Chris reaches the record five Golden Balls and reminds critics that he is worthy of arguing for grandeur with Lionel Messi. Strongly loved and heavily hated, Cristiano has always shown character, and has escaped from the most difficult situations to show how big a fighter he is. At 33 he has achieved everything, but he wants more and more, and more.

Mourinho again unhappy with fans of Old Trafford

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the team`s supporters, who, he said, did not create a good atmosphere for Old Trafford. The Portuguese also commented on the presentation of the new addition Alexis Sanchez after his first goal for the Red Devils. The players love to play at home, although sometimes in the stands it is quiet and lacking a lot of enthusiasm. This is not Portsmouth, which has a small stadium, but fans create a marvelous atmosphere. However, players feel comfortable on the big terrain, said Mourinho.


Alexis already played 3 games, but this was his first on Old Trafford. I`m happy with it. Why was Paul Pogba a reservation? In any case, I did not want to punish him. That would be a punishment for myself. Paul is a fantastic footballer, one of the best midfielders, but when you stay out of reserve, it`s not the end of the world. Today I decided to give a young boy a chance, and Paul a ccepted it very well, explained the Special. United won Huddersfield with 2-0 and won second place in the Premier League.
