Junior had previously trained at the academies of Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United. After his father’s surprise but profitable transfer to the Saudi Pro League team, he transferred to Al-Nassr’s academy.
With three games left, the young player scored a vital goal to help lead his club to the Saudi Arabian under-13 league championship.
Ever since, he has quickly adjusted to life in the Middle East, following in the footsteps of his father’s easy transition. He has also shown maturity above his years when talking about his experiences in Saudi Arabia, demonstrating his elite attitude at an early age.
Even though Cristiano Jr. displayed the same winning attitude that has characterised his father’s remarkable career, the adolescent confronted his celebrity father in an embarrassing situation.
The odd exchange between Ronaldo and his son
Before the game against Al-Fateh, the young players, led by Ronaldo’s oldest son, were invited to join the senior players in celebrating their most recent achievement.
The other players applauded the younger players as they entered the pitch.
Cristiano Jr. seemed a little nervous to greet his father, though, and Ronaldo mockingly corrected him for it, according to GOAL.
