In a recent interview with TVI Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed how his son reacted when he visited his hometown, Madeira. The Juventus forward showed Cristiano Jr where he stayed and the humble lifestyle he grew up in which served as an eye-opener for Cristiano Ronaldo son. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was quoted as saying, "I was so excited for him to see where I grew up. He already knew Madeira and the Marques de Pombal residence. He went up with me and there were still some of the same people who had lived there at the time. I was moved, if I am honest, because I didn't expect to see those people, and that touched me a bit. I went with Paixao and [Cristiano] and we entered the room where I had stayed. My son turned to me and said: 'Papa. Did you live here?' He could not believe it.”

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar went on to add how he wants to instil the value of hard work and dedication in his kids, especially Cristiano Jr. Cristiano Ronaldo added, "They think everything is easy in this world. The quality of life, the houses, the cars, the clothes. They think that it all just falls into their lap. That [is] what I try to instil in my son, including when I do events in schools. I try to convey that these things don't come with having talent alone. But with hard work and dedication, I think you can achieve everything you want to do." Cristiano Ronaldo is back in Turin and is preparing for a potential Serie A return next month with Juventus.
