Cristiano Ronaldo: The Biography

Product Information

a. Forfatteren har ikke været i direkte samarbejde med Ronaldo eller hans agent i skriveprocessen men formår alligevel at give dybe beskrivelser af Ronaldo som person såvel som fodboldkendis. And how he practices and works really hard to play the game, because he has such a big passion for the game.

That doesn't take away from the fact of his talent and skill and sadly, the majority of this book focuses on the author's clear disgust at Ronaldo's personality and mostly ignors/does not balance the book with any praise for his good qualities (such as unrivaled work ethic, care for his family, etc.This book is a great story the author does a great job explaining but I think that in a way we can all relate because we try to be perfect at some thing. It wasn't long before he had the biggest clubs in Europe knocking on his door, but it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature. Being a poor boy from Madeira, Portugal, to being one of the best and richest footballers in history. He then became the biggest galactico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee. A cynical man with lack of respect for a man who's given everything to pursue and fulfill his childhood dream despite his humble origins.

Nie znajdziecie tu suchych faktów z wikipedii, a raczej analizę wydarzeń z życia piłkarza począwszy od losów jego rodziny, przez kolejne transfery aż do momentu gdzie staje się gwiazdą futbolu. Doesn't glorify the player, in fact provides what I consider a balanced and fair analytical account of Cristiano's life, thus far. In the book, Luca tries to give a sense of what life was like by putting some of the quotes in first person. Well, I hoped more insight in Ronaldo's life, I do not care about match details and more important I do not care about his girlfriends.However, he simply refuses to acknowledge the obvious truth for both players: both were raised poor and had incredicble work ethic to rise and become "the best". This book goes deep into his life and lets the reader know the player personally rather than just a summary of the highlights in his career. He has played for teams Andorinha (1993-1995), Nacional (1995-1997), Sporting Lisbon (1997-2003), Manchester United (2003-2009), and Real Madrid (2009-present day).
