Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers that have ever kicked a ball, and in spite of how physically supreme he might seem, he didn’t attain greatness all on his own.  When Cristiano was only a boy, he used to play football with his friends on the streets of Funchal, a city in Madeira, Portugal. All of them had the same dream; to be picked up by scouts and taken to an academy, and from there, work towards going pro. Fantrau and Ronaldo were closer than most of the other kids. They were both forwards and were the best goalscorers among the boys.
