Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, yet for all his success on the pitch he has often been a controversial and divisive figure off it.

It was clear from early on that Ronaldo had a prodigious talent. More than that, though, he only ever had one goal in mind. At the age of twelve, he left his humble origins on Madeira behind to travel to the Portuguese mainland in pursuit of his dream to become the best footballer on the planet. It wasn't long before he had the biggest clubs in Europe knocking on his door, but it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature.

Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into the complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League, and cementing his status as a United legend, along the way. He then became the biggest galactico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee.

Amit Mishra. One of the best player of this beautiful game the world has ever seen. The best striker who played on his own rules. The book is captivating and interesting that keeps the readers engaged to know every aspect of his life.

The story of choosing no. He is an inspiration and icon for youths who want to achieve something in their life by their hard work. Alvin Lo. Revealed the inside stories of events in CR's life. Basically it's all i want from reading such a biography. A nice read for one who's followed him from Man Utd days. However, the author Guillem Balague, a skysports-said Spanish soccer specialist, truly disappointed me by using 19 pages of foreword to defend himself.

I partly bought the book cos of his name, his reputation, but now he's definitely reversed it. The foreword has nth to do with the introduction of the book, but just a desperate man trying to use whtever channel to clear his own name. The occasional excessive bs is another issue of the book, but one could always simply skip them.

Like once it used a whole page to outline the religious background of a place. It showoff-ed the amount of research done, but not his writing skill in putting quality info when necessary. Guillem is one of my favorite Football journalists, so my expectation from this book was high. What i simply dont understand especially considering how CR7 has since gone on to win two more Champions leagues, had a goal career in Juventus, and his ronaldo brazil biography book return to United is the urgency to write the 'Story' of the man so soon.

Why can't they just wait till he is officially retired?! Jacob Langham. Interesting to see where his work ethic originated from. Very inspiring and well written. Lorenzo Pepe. This book is about how a young Cristiano Ronaldo, with a dream to be the best player in th world madehis dream a reality. At the age of 12, he got recruited to play professionally.
