Cristiano Ronaldo - I want my son to follow my footsteps

Every father wants a son that takes after him, and Cristiano Ronaldo is no different.

Even though Cristiano Jr is just five, his father would love to see him grow up to be as good as him.

And the Real Madrid forward, insisting he will not force his son to follow in his path, but believes he is already showing the right signs.

“I think he has something of an athlete about him, he has athletic characteristics. Obviously he is very young, a baby, he’s only five but he loves football, that is a big plus.”

Ronaldo added that his progeny is always practicing football, but that he will be free to choose his destiny.

“I have 30 balls at home, he is always with the ball and he loves it. But I will not force him to be a player because it comes naturally, it has to be his choice,” he said.

“He will be whatever he wants to be, I am not going to push him at all.

“But obviously I want Cristiano to be a player. A top one, like his dad.”
