Ronaldo shows the sacrifices his mother made: She worked seven days a week and slept hungry

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players the football world knows, but his journey to get to where he is today has not been easy at all.

The Portuguese star has won the Golden Ball five times in his career, until every team he's ever been had his last word, writes Periscope.

Ronaldo dedicated all her successes to her mother, Mrs. Mary Dolores, who had sacrificed much for her son.

Ronaldo was raised in a poor family with a mother who had worked for him from seven days a week just so he would lack nothing to follow the dream of becoming a football player.

My mother sacrificed a lot for me. She slept hungry at night, but she made sure I had something to eat. We didn't have any money, and she worked seven days a week just to make me a soccer player. I dedicated all the successes to her,” Ronaldo said.

The 34-year-old after any success achieved or after any important prize he always wins takes with him his mother.

He had even broken relations with her former girlfriend, Irina Shiyak, just because she had sought accounts from CR7 for taking his mother wherever she went.
