内容简介

This coffee-table book by Cristiano Ronaldo with Manuela Brandao and foreword by Sir Bobby Charlton is accompanied by a beautiful photographic account of the star taken by Jorge Monteiro. The world famous Manchester United and Portuguese International footballer fully augments the sumptuous photographs with a series of interviews and thoughts about his life so far, both on and off the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo is well known in football circles for his unique style of play. Football fans instantly recognise for example how he dribbles the ball, but there is a great deal about him that has never previously been made public. He recognises however that his youth does not yet give him the right to produce an autobiography and this book does not set out to be one. It is an invitation to the reader to share with him some of the most fantastic moments of his career so far, and get to know him a little better. It relates the story of his love of football from early childhood on Madeira, the homesickness he suffered as a result of the move, aged 12, to a football academy in Lisbon, through to his time with Manchester United, the club which has really made him famous and turned him into a football idol at only 22 years old. He speaks of his love of playing for his country and the love and support of his family, as well as the sad moments in his life, such as the death of his father. The book also shows glimpses of him at training and enjoying his leisure time, the charity work he involves himself in, as well as off-field activities in both his professional capacity and for pleasure. He hopes that by the end of these sundry stories and beautiful photographs by Jorge Monteiro you will know Cristiano Ronaldo a little better. As you finish reading the last line he also trusts you will have enjoyed the book with the same enthusiasm you would follow a well dribbled football.
