Cristiano Ronaldo admits he gets irritated when his eldest son consumes soft drinks or crisps.
Ronaldo was recognized as the best player of the 21st century at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
Upon collecting his award, he took the opportunity to highlight the importance of hard work, commitment, and healthy eating habits.
Talking about his son, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner insists 10-year-old Cristiano Jr, who plays in the Juventus academy, has the potential to ‘reach the top’ but might have to adjust his diet in order to make it.
“I’m hard with him sometimes because he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta, which is not good for the body. I’m pissed with him and I fight with him when he eats chips and fries and everything – I don’t like it,” fitness fanatic Ronaldo declared, via beIN SPORTS.
“My eldest son has potential [to become a top footballer]. He’s a big boy, he’s fast and he dribbles well. But this takes a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work.
“I won’t push for him to be a football player. If you ask me if I want, yes I want but he’s going to be whatever he wants.”
