Cristeriano Ronaldo's next story: Who said men didn't cry?

Two respective sports legends -- Ronaldo and Golovkin -- have been compared by DAZN in a new series called “Parale Words”. The first has won everything with Manchester United fans, Real Madrid, Juventus and Portugal; the second is the best middle weight in boxing for the last ten years. Portuguese, in particular, was highly intrigued by the Kazakh champion's career: Playing soccer is my passion, but then I watch other sports on television. Between a football match or another boxing or UFC, I choose the second option. I don't think I could have been a boxer, it's hard. I think I was born to be a professional football player. I thought I had this gift from the beginning and told myself to use the talent God has given me. Boxing is harder because when you're alone. You work at the gym, you have your team, but then they don't come in the ring with you. In our case it's different because we train together, we laugh, it's another kind of sacrifice”.

Ronaldo: I cried when I left Madeira
Cristiano Ronaldo later discovered that he practiced boxing a few years ago: When I was at Manchester United, a coach was boxing with me. I think his practice can be good for a footballer because it sharpens your senses, learn to move. Golovkin and I grew up in different environments and cultures. It was difficult because we came from humble families. We weren't rich, so we had to fight hard in life. The circumstances in which you grow up determine your personality and character. I was born on the island, in Madeira, and at the age of 11, Sporting came to talk to my parents. They were told they were interested, but I would have to move to Lisbon. When I spoke to them, my mother said: Son, if that's what you want, go. I cried every day because I missed my family. This was my hardest time, just like losing my dad. I think it's nice to have emotions, they don't hide who we really are. Who said men didn't cry? We all have feelings, and we need to express them”.

Ronaldo of age
Cristiano Ronaldo later focused on the passing of time: And at 33 you start to think I'm going up and down, but I want to keep playing soccer. People might think: Cristiano was an incredible player, but now he's slow. I don't want this to happen. You can take care of your body, but that's not the problem. It depends on your mind, motivation, and experience. Federer, for example, is 39 years old and is still in charge of”.
