0-4, Manchester United once again suffered a crushing defeat at the feet of Liverpool, and compared with the first leg 0-5, a big difference is that Cristiano Ronaldo did not play. Because of the premature death of his son in the dragon phoenix fetus, the president missed the game. Everyone understood the decision, and even the Liverpool fans gave him a round of applause in the 7th minute as a sign of encouragement and comfort.
Those who believe in parenthood can understand the sadness and pain in C Luo's heart now. Although he had already had 4 children before, 2 of which were sons, this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses was still his own flesh and blood, and the loss of any of them was enough to make his heart ache. And if you understand C Ronaldo's family background, you may be able to better understand his mood.
Ronaldo's father, José Dinis Averro, originally worked under a fishmonger, and after marrying Dolores, the two gave birth to their eldest daughter, Elma. Soon after, however, Dinis enlisted in the army and went to fight in Africa, and when he returned from the war 10 months later, he was like a changed person, no longer working, drinking all day, depressed and decadent, and his family status was even poorer.
At the age of 30, Dolores became pregnant again, and because the family was so poor, she even thought about abortion, but eventually gave birth and named the child after the then US President Ronald Reagan: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Averro.
C Luo liked to stay with his father when he was a child, but his father did not stay home all day, more often stayed in the bar, once said: "I just want to live in my own world, my son's world belongs to him." 」 Even he flew from Madeira to Lisbon and from Lisbon to Manchester without his father.
C Luo grew up in such a destitute and fragmented family environment, fortunately, he also has his mother Dolores, who loves him, and his brothers and sisters, especially Dolores, who have taken on the dual roles of mother and father.
It is precisely because his father is an alcoholic, so C Luo has hated alcohol since he was a child, and he does not like to drink until now. And in order to have money to buy alcohol, Dinis even sold his son's shirt for his debut at Manchester United!
Despite this, C Luo still cares about his father. After Dinis's health deteriorated due to alcoholism, Ronaldo wanted to pay for him to come to London's most expensive hospital for treatment, but he refused until he was almost out of luck. Unfortunately, it was too late, and Dinis eventually died on September 6, 2005.
At that time, C Ronaldo was following Portugal to prepare for the World Preliminary Round, and after head coach Scolari and captain Figo told him the bad news, C Ronaldo cried bitterly, but did not go home immediately, but finished the game.
17 years later, C Luo himself has long been a father, is already the father of 5 children, but tasted the pain of losing his son, presumably at this moment, he will miss his father very much. So, "Father" Ronaldo no longer insists on playing like "son" Ronaldo, and now, he just wants to be with his family, as Ferguson once said to him: "You can never put the club in front of the family." ”
