Cristiano's father was drafted into the army as a very young man and sent to an absolutely suicidal, terrible war in Angola, where these soldiers saw, did, and suffered terrible things. A friend of Cristiano's father, from the army, who still lives in Madeira, spoke about it once in-depth, to the media, I remember reading the article. I can't even repeat it here. It would mess up anyone's psyche, so it's no wonder that Cristiano's father came back from the war with PTSD and started drinking. I personally saw such veterans - they are the living dead. In her biography, Ronaldo's mother said that ''Cristiano's father's only ambition was to drink himself to death.'' - actual quote.
Unfortunately, Cristiano's father was never able to see in life everything that his son achieved as a footballer, winning 5 champions, 5 Ballon d'Ors, becoming the top scorer in history of football
It's a shame that Ronaldo's father can't see him nowadays when he is already successful and famous As a footballer who inspires and becomes an idol for many people Cr7 goat ❤
Even though he didn’t get to see all of Ronaldo’s success he got to see his boy become a man and take his family out of poverty by reaching top level football knowing Ronaldo and his family are in good hands… ❤️
