"Here are five things you definitely didn't know about Cristiano Ronaldo that will refresh your knowledge!

1. **Expulsion from School**: At the age of 14, Ronaldo was quite popular among students, but he was ridiculed by teachers due to his rural accent. Feeling disrespected, he angrily threw a chair at a teacher, resulting in his expulsion. His mother then decided to let him focus on playing football, and that's when a superstar was born.

2. **Origin of the Name**: Cristiano Ronaldo's full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, yet neither of his parents' names contains ""Ronaldo."" The name comes from his father, who idolized former U.S. President Ronald Wilson Reagan. ""Ronald"" and ""Ronaldo"" differ by just one letter (an 'a' and an 'o'). Ronaldo's father initially hoped his son would become a politician, but destiny led him to become a football player.

3. **First Puskás Award Winner**: In 2009, FIFA established the Puskás Award to commemorate Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás and reward the best goal of the year. In the same year, Cristiano Ronaldo won the inaugural Puskás Award for his incredible long-range strike against Porto, surpassing players like Andrés Iniesta and Grafite.

4. **Congenital Heart Condition**: In 2000, when Ronaldo was just 15 and training at the Sporting CP academy, he was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition. Without timely treatment, it could have been fatal. After only a few days of rest, Ronaldo resumed training, setting the stage for his superstar career.

5. **Refusal of Tattoos**: Unlike many players in the football world, Ronaldo doesn't have any tattoos. This is because he regularly donates blood, and in some regions, there are strict regulations against blood donation by individuals with tattoos."

Haha, these things are quite surprising if you don't know them already. I wonder where this old guy dug up so much of Cristiano Ronaldo's hidden history!

Cristiano Ronaldo was expelled from school? I see, it's true that when one door closes, another one opens. If he struggled in school, he certainly made up for it by working twice as hard in football. He's indeed an inspiration for ordinary people!

So, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have tattoos to donate blood. That's quite a testament to his character. Also, if he had a congenital heart condition, did it put him at a disadvantage on the field?

Ronaldo had a heart condition? This is the first time I've heard of it.
