1) Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 things CR7 loves to do in Italy – ENJOY THE FAMILY

In 2018, Cristiano moved with his whole family to Turin (or Torino in Italian), the host city of Juventus. As you might expect, he bought a beautiful residence on a hill that sits on the back of the Gran Madre Church. From there, CR7 has a WONDERFUL view of Turin and Mole Antonelliana. With 4 children, Cristiano Ronaldo in Italy is extremely homely and LIKES this more reclusive and discreet lifestyle.

It’s hard to hear from CR7 at night, and if there’s any news of him ‘strolling through’ the Italian night, he’s always (very well) accompanied by his beautiful fiancée Giorgina. With the busy routine, CR7 is constantly training with Juve or traveling to participate in national and international championship games, either for his Italian club or for the Portuguese national team, but when he is in the city, he makes a point of being at home whenever possible.

Let’s get to know a little more about the ace

Cristiano Ronaldo is a phenomenon; that’s an undeniable fact! Considered the best player in the world five times by FIFA, CR7 started playing at the age of eight in the youth categories of Clube de Futebol Andorinha de Santo António in Portugal. The player soon caught the attention of the big clubs, and at the age of 18, he had his first big contract, being sold to Manchester United in England for 15 million euros.

The number 7

If history were a little different, today Cristiano wouldn’t be CR7 but CR28! That’s because when he went to Manchester United, he requested the number 28 shirt but was told by the directors that he should wear the number 7 shirt. At first, he was reluctant since the number 7 shirt belonged to important and big names of the English team, such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Éric Cantona, and none other than David Beckham. That is why he was somewhat afraid of the pressure he might feel.

Offer for Real Madrid

After understanding what an honour it would be to carry a ‘sacred robe with the number 7 on the back’, he finally relented and the rest is history! After 3 years at Manchester United, Cristiano received an offer from the Spanish club Real Madrid, where he played for 9 years! In 2018, Juventus, from Turin, made the official announcement of the signing of star player Portuguese. Owner of several titles between national and international championships, one of the only titles missing for CR7 is the coveted World Cup.
