Cristiano Ronaldo won the Portuguese Player of the Year for a record 10th time yesterday.
At the Quinas De Ouro gala the Portuguese picked up the award and was surrounded by kids.
While accepting the award Ronaldo said in a speech,
“2018 was a difficult, extremely complicated year and what I can say is that they will never be influenced by the press.”
“Never let anyone pull you down. Think one day you’ll be someone in life.”
Sir Alex’s lovely message to Ronaldo
But there was another surprise for him “a message” from his “football father” Sir Alex Ferguson.
“Congratulations on a great achievement and a wonderful night you’re going to have in Portugal,”
“I’m really sorry I can’t be with you, but I look back and see you as a young lad at 17 years of age who came to Manchester United, how you have progressed as a human being and a fantastic sportsman.”
“I want to say to you, and your mother, and all your family, and all of your kids; well done.”
“You have been an absolute pleasure for me to have known, to have worked with, and to have seen you progress into the footballer you were.”
“So, good luck, have a great night, and well done.”
Ferguson says in the video.
Some lovely words from the Scot to Ronaldo. It’s beautiful to see that there is still a huge bond between Cristiano and Ferguson.
And it was also great to see the Sir Alex Ferguson look well.
