In a recent podcast, Cristiano Ronaldo talked about his early years with Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of WHOOP. Reflecting on his path, the Portuguese captain talked about how he went from Sporting to Manchester United in 2003 as a young, talented winger. Ronaldo revealed that he never thought he would become a famous person, saying:

“I started playing football at home and on the street when I was 7, 8, 9 years old, and that’s where it all started. Football was my first love. But I never thought I would be a star. Not even when I was 16, maybe later, when I was 18."

"My father always insisted that I follow my dream. He saw that I had talent and encouraged me to play on the streets and for our local team Andorinha."
