Star Cristiano Ronaldo always has special love and respect for his mother – Maria Dolores.

According to Sportskeeda, the Portuguese superstar still lived with his mother until the end of last year. When Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia to play football for Al Nassr, Ronaldo saw his mother less because Dolores’ health was not suitable for long flights.

“My mother is the greatest gift of my life”
According to Unique Times, in an interview with the media, Ronaldo was asked why he did not buy his mother his own house but still lived with her for many years. Ronaldo responded as follows:

“My mother sacrificed her whole life for me. She went to bed hungry just so I could have a decent meal. We had no money. She had to work 7 days a week, even cleaning on weekends.” evening just to contribute money to buy me a pair of shoes. I dedicate my success to her. I will give my mother everything I can. She is my support, the best gift I can give her. Have”.

BrightSide newspaper said that Ronaldo’s answer above touched the hearts of many people and could bring tears to anyone’s eyes. Ronaldo himself always trusts his mother and her advice. The 38-year-old superstar is said to also want his children to live with their mother to receive the same love as he did in the past.

In fact, British media revealed that Ronaldo bought his mother an apartment worth 2.6 million USD in Spain. In addition, the Portuguese superstar also gave his mother a Porche on her birthday in 2015, and a Mercedes on “Mother’s Day” in 2020. SCMP also revealed that Ronaldo is not afraid to spend thousands of dollars for her mother. Mom and her friends went on a trip.

Mother’s immense love
Ronaldo was born into a poor family in Portugal. His father – Mr. Jose Aveiro – was addicted to alcohol and often neglected housework (Mr. Aveiro passed away in 2005 when Ronaldo was only 20 years old). Therefore, Mrs. Dolores became the mainstay, having to take care of almost everything. When she was pregnant with Ronaldo, she thought about abortion because of her large number of children and difficult circumstances.

However, her mother’s instincts did not allow Dolores to do this. It was hard and difficult, but Mrs. Dolores still tried her best to let her child pursue a football career, sometimes buying shoes, sometimes a ball.

As for Ronaldo, although he was considered a crybaby when he was young, he always had a burning desire to escape poverty. Every day effort and perseverance eventually brought success. Ronaldo was promoted to Sporting Lisbon’s first team when he was only 17 years old. The memorable performance that followed helped Ronaldo catch the eye of MU coach Sir Alex. The contract between Ronaldo and MU was signed in 2003. The rest is history.

Every important milestone in Ronaldo’s life has had his mother’s presence. It is not wrong to say that Dolores is the most influential person in the life of the Portuguese superstar.

On Dolores’s birthday in 2021, Ronaldo sent special wishes to his mother. “Happy birthday to the best mom on this planet. You are the warrior who taught me not to give up. You are the best grandmother to my children. Mom, I love you so much” , Ronaldo shared. Mrs. Dolores burst into tears when she saw her son’s words.
