Cristiano Ronaldo has written a letter to Miami's District Attorney asking for trespass charges to be
dropped against a fan who ran on to the pitch to hug
him. Real Madrid star Ronaldo humoured 20-year-old fan
Ronald Gjoka when he invaded the field of play at the
Sun Life Stadium in Miami during a friendly match with
Chelsea on August 7. The incident resulted in an internet sensation, as the
fan spent quite some time clinging on to his hero, who
happily obliged as security staff panicked around him.
You can watch it below: But the student was arrested and charged with
trespass and disorderly conduct, which could see him
expelled from college and deported back to his native
Albania. He may face "problems with immigrations and his
college if the charges aren't dropped", his attorney
Richard Hujber said. "It is my understanding that he now recognises his
error and the importance of security. I do not want to
see him face criminal penalties for his error." Ronaldo, who recently signed a contract to make him
the world’s highest-paid player, clearly agrees. "I understand your position and the importance of
enforcing rules and law," Ronaldo wrote in a letter to
the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office. "However, I respectfully request that you and your
office reconsider this decision and dismiss the two
criminal charges this young man faces." It does seem a bit harsh for what was a harmless – if
epic – example of super-fandom. And Ronaldo’s act proves yet again that, beneath
the playboy exterior, lies a heart of gold.
