• Description: Seven, the number seven. From childhood to Saudi Arabia, the journey begins now. Cristiano Ronaldo is 11 years old and already obsessed with competition. Whether he's playing soccer or table soccer. If he loses, he cries. If he gets hit on the head by his coach, he cries. If he's made fun of, he cries. And, of course, deep down he swears revenge. In the form of a goal, of course. And he gets it. Every time. Even though he's short and lanky, he's quick like no other, he's already feinting at five and six and leaves everyone stunned. He went to Sporting because of a fine of 5,000 escudos, he was teased for being short and talking in a "strange" way, and time and time again he ended the day on the phone to his mother, whom he missed dearly. But being obstinate has always been a characteristic of his: that's why he trained harder than the others, why he started scarfing down two plates of soup before every meal to "build up his body" and why, even before he was a teenager, he was already winning championships. And the rest? The rest is history. Or rather, stories: many of them unpublished, many of them revealed by family and friends, now gathered together for the first time in a book. Rui Miguel Tovar, one of Portugal's most prestigious journalists and sports commentators, tells us everything in this unauthorized biography of CR7, which goes from his childhood to Saudi Arabia. Afterwards? Only he can say. Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo.
