A competition Gives his eldest son nutritional advice
B.Being the son of one of the greatest athletes is a privilege, but it also creates pressure. Just ask Cristiano Ronaldo‘s son, Cristiano Jr..
The Juventus forward takes great care of his body and as such he tries to make sure his 10 year old doesn’t lapse into bad eating habits. However, he noticed that Cristiano Jr.. enjoy carbonated drinks and snacks.
“We’ll see if my son becomes a great footballer, he’s not there yet,” Cristiano said at the presentation of the Global Soccer Awards.
‘Sometimes he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta and he eats chips, and he knows I don’t like that.
‘Sometimes I tell my son to take a dip in cold water to recover from a run on the treadmill and he says,’ Dad, it’s so cold in there. ‘It’s normal, he’s 10 years old. “
That being said, Cristiano recognizes that his son has talent when it comes to football.
“He’s got potential, he’s great, he’s fast and he dribbles well, but that’s not all.” Cristiano explained.
“This requires a lot of dedication and hard work. I’m not going to pressure him, but if you ask me if I would like him [a footballer]… of course I would. However, I want the best for him, whether he’s a footballer or a doctor. “
