Katia Aveiro, the sister of Saudi Al-Nasr and Portugal national football player Cristiano Ronaldo, said that their mother planned to have an abortion when she was pregnant with the athlete.
Ronaldo might not have been born if his mother had had an abortion
“Cristiano was born when he shouldn’t have been. Our mother, Dolores, could not give birth to a child — there was little food, it took a lot of strength. Sometimes even what we had was not enough to feed everyone.
Dolores wanted to have an abortion, but something stopped her at that moment, and the child was born. 39 years ago she made this decision against everything and against everyone. And the child was born,” Aveiro wrote on social networks.
How did Ronaldo’s family live?
Let us remember that Ronaldo became the fourth child in a poor Portuguese family that was barely making ends meet. Although they lived poorly, the children were provided with everything they needed — for this, their parents worked day and night at several jobs.
There were no toys, instead of a football uniform there were cast-offs, and instead of boots there were old sneakers. At school, Cristiano, his brother and two sisters were dressed decently — the mother tried to hide the poverty of the family. But his peers still laughed at young Cristiano because of his crooked teeth and unathletic figure. Ronaldo cried a lot and made few friends, but he knew that someday he would become great.
“My childhood was difficult, but I never lacked anything. My parents worked hard and did everything so that we, the children, would not need anything,” the footballer recalled.
Ronaldo became a football star and earned an incredible fortune. But he will soon end his career — we have a couple of years left to enjoy his game.
