Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (14), the eldest son of Portugal's living legend Cristiano Ronaldo (40), has been selected for the Portugal Under-15 national team for the first time. On the 6th (local time), Ronaldo announced the news of Ronaldo Jr.'s arrival on the national team with a message saying, `Son, I'm proud.'
Ronaldo Jr. is on a journey with his dad. After playing for Real Madrid in Spain, Juventus in Italy, and Manchester United in England, he has played for his current team, Al Nasr in Saudi Arabia, since two years ago.
Portugal's under-15 national team coach João Santus included Ronaldo Jr. when announcing the list of 22 players to compete in Croatia's international youth tournament on the Portuguese Football Association website. Croatia's international youth tournament will be held from the 13th to the 18th. Portugal will face Japan, Greece and England in the tournament.
Ronaldo made headlines by saying that he would play soccer with his son sometime in 2022. He said "Son, Dad, wait a few more years. I want to play with my dad."
And "I will never put pressure on my son. He'll do what he wants"What I want most from everyone is for them to be happy and to choose what they want. I'll apply that way," he stressed.
Ronaldo recently said, `I want to play soccer with my 14-year-old son, but we'll see how it goes. It's more up to me than my son."
Ronaldo Jr. needs more physical time to play with his dad. Ronaldo must play on the ground until at least 45 years old. Ronaldo has five children, including Ronaldo Jr.
Ronaldo, who is 40 years old this year, is still playing for Portugal. He has played 219 A matches and scored 136 goals. It is 'Living Legend', which ranks first in scoring as well as the most appearances in A matches in the world.
