I would like to start off by talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most influential athletes all over
the world.

He is a professional Portuguese football player, who is currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
He is well-known for his speed, skills, goalscoring abilities, and especially his dedication and diligence
to the football industry. He has played for some of the top clubs in Europe, namely Sporting Lisbon,
Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus and he has won many titles and honours with them.

To the best of my recollection, back in 2016, It was the celebrated Euro 2016 tournament. That was the
day I was introduced to the football legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. As the captain and top scorer of the
Portugal national team, Ronaldo displayed exceptional leadership which ultimately led his team to a
resounding victory. From that time onwards, I become a huge fan of him and always support and enjoy
every moment of his amazing career.

His self-confidence and charisma reveal his work ethic and dedication since he trains hard every day
and always strives to become the greatest of all time. What’s more, he made a name for himself as a
generous and selfless person owing to his support of charitable funding and organization. In my
opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo seems like a role model for many sports enthusiasts particularly and
youngsters generally to pursue their dreams and goals. It would be an honour to one day meet him and
show some love and respect to my idol.
