Once young players who admired Cristiano Ronaldo, where do they stand now?
As Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest fanboy, Mbappé had his room adorned with posters of his idol. He even mimicked Ronaldo's shooting techniques during training and matches, down to the exact celebration style! Today, Mbappé has transitioned from a youngster to the captain of the French national team. He's not only one of the hottest stars in today's football, but he also secured his first World Cup at just 20 years old. He aspires to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps by joining Real Madrid and donning the iconic number 7 jersey.
Another sensational rising star, Haaland, was asked to choose between Messi and Ronaldo, and without hesitation, he mentioned Ronaldo's name! Haaland followed Ronaldo's diet since childhood and pursued his idol's path by entering the Premier League. Despite his debut on English soil, he fearlessly broke numerous records. He not only claimed the Premier League, Champions League, and European Golden Shoe, but also clinched consecutive Champions League and Premier League titles.
Furthermore, Real Madrid's emerging winger, Rodrygo, is also a die-hard Ronaldo fan. He expressed multiple times that his admiration for Ronaldo was a driving force behind his move to Real Madrid. In the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League against Chelsea, Rodrygo scored twice to help Real Madrid advance. His celebration mimicking Ronaldo was a sight to behold. From an overlooked Brazilian talent to Real Madrid's winger, Rodrygo has consistently followed in Ronaldo's footsteps, progressing with each step. Many players in today's football consider Ronaldo their idol. Beyond replicating his technical prowess, Ronaldo's spirit, determination, and professionalism are qualities worth emulating.
It's worth noting that those who love Ronaldo tend to have their own talents. Do you know any other Ronaldo fanboys in the football world? |
