Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro..born 5 February
1985),commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a
Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish
club Real Madrid and serves as captain of the
Portuguese national team. Ronaldo currently holds the
distinction of being the most expensive player in
football history after having transferred to Real Madrid
from Manchester United in a deal worth £80 million
(€94m, US$132m). His contract with Real Madrid is
believed to have made him the highest-paid football
player in the world.
Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for
Andorinha, where he played for two years, then
moved to Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to
Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal.
Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he
signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003.
The following season, Ronaldo won his first club
honour, the FA Cup, and reached the
UEFA Euro 2004 final with Portugal, in which
tournament he scored his first international goal.
In 2008, Ronaldo won his first UEFA
Champions Leaguetitle, and was named player
of the tournament. He was named the FIFPro
World Player of the Year.. and the FIFA World
Player of the Year, in addition to becoming
Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in
40 years. Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan
Cruyff said in an interview on 2 April 2008,
"Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis
Law, who were two brilliant and great players
in the history of United.
Ronaldo was born on 5 February 1985 in Santo
António, a neighbourhood of Funchl, Madeira,
the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos
Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a
municipal gardener. His second given name,
"Ronaldo", was chosen after then-U.S.
president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's
favourite actor.He has one older brother, Hugo,
and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia.
