“He was a winger, who was tricky and quick, and he invented things we hadn’t seen before, like the way he struck a ball for his knuckle ball, his stepovers. I wanted to copy the best player in the world and at that time, that was Cristiano Ronaldo. “He was one of my idols, a player who I looked at to improve my game. “I’d just come out of school, I was going into full-time football and he was at the top of his game.

Townsend was in awe of Ronaldo when he was coming through the ranks at Tottenham’s academy, and would often spend hours in training trying to master the Portugal star’s vast array of flicks, tricks and trademark knuckle ball. On Saturday the Everton winger will finally get to line-up against him when the Toffees travel to Manchester United for the lunch time kick-off. I definitely see him differently than I did before I watched this film.Andros Townsend idolised Cristiano Ronaldo and even played as the four-time Ballon d’or winner on FIFA. And it seems, he's not just tossing his money around either, but takes the time to stop and listen to whoever he is helping. He is very kind and generous with his money. But it seems he really takes care of people. We usually just see him as this flashy guy. I had no idea he was such a caring person. It also goes into some comparisons between him and Beckham, paparazzi stories, his generous donations and a somewhat secretive child he has. The film goes over his childhood and how he came to where he is today. Overall, this is an entertaining look at an exciting soccer legend in the making.ġ0/10 I thought this was a very well made documentary. And, the comparisons to Messi & Beckham - and even Pele - are interesting & food for thought. He has a generous heart and wallet, for example. I enjoyed seeing Cristiano grow from a youth amateur player to the mega star he is today, and learning things about him I did not know. This documentary demonstrates this with video footage of Ronaldo on & off the field, along with dramatizations that hone in on the emotion of specific moments in his childhood. All and all I learned that there is more Ronaldo than meets the eye.ĩ/10 Watch this film! Cristiano Ronaldo is one of those athletes that cause a stir wherever he goes - not only because he is an excellent soccer player - but because he owns his star power.
He tries to give back to his hometown and is known to pay for surgeries of children suffering from cancer. The only thing that got him through was a soccer ball, which he brought with him everywhere he went. He was so poor that he often missed meals. First off Ronaldo grew up dirt poor in a small island off the coast of Portugal. However after watching this documentary I learned that there is a lot more to him than the flashy side we often see. Before watching this film, I wouldn't have called myself a Cristiano fan, but now I am.Ī compelling documentary about a famous athleteĩ/10 Before seeing this documentary all I knew about Ronaldo is that he is attractive, dates models and likes to take his shirt off. I don't know if that's true, but very interesting and is working for Cristiano. He said since Cristiano is an Aquarius that is partly why he excels in his communication. There's also an interesting piece in this documentary where there is an astrologer, who directly relates Cristiano's communication style with his astrological sign. Nothing wrong with that, I loved all the images of Cristiano in this film.
For example, as a child he was more of a quiet individual and now he poses for ads in his underwear (his own brand). There's also lots of interesting tidbits. I liked learning about Cristiano's childhood and his family. Very interesting documentary on an amazing athlete.ġ0/10 I really enjoyed this documentary. For instance, the cars he owns are amazing - wait til you see them! The music accompanies the film well, too. The film documents Cristiano's rags to riches story and show some of his toys. I was surprised to see the poverty he came from in Portugal, but it adds to the amazing story. I love how Cristiano plays and the video highlights in the documentary showcase his skill, although some of the clips are shown more than once. I wanted to know more about his life and how he became a super star. I do not usually watch documentaries but this Cristiano is intriguing.
