“I have to thank my friend Albert
Fantrau for my success. We played
together for a youth club. When
people from Sporting (The team
Man U bought Ronaldo from)
arrived, they told us that whoever
scored more goals would be
accepted to their
Academy”
“We won that game 3-0, I scored the
first goal, then Albert scored a
header, and the third was a goal
that impressed everyone.
Albert went on one on one with the
goal keeper. I was running next to
him, he went round the keeper, all
he needed to do was just to get the
ball into the empty net. But, he
passed it to me and I scored. I was
accepted to the Academy.
“After the match, I approached him
and asked him “why” and he
answered; “You’re better than me”.
Several years after, journalist went
to Albert’s house, and asked
whether the story was true. He
confirmed. He also said that his
career as a football player finished
after that match and he is now
unemployed.
“But where did you get such a
gorgeous house, a car? You seemed
to be a rich person. You also
maintain your family……
where is all this from?”
Albert proudly replied; “its from
Cristiano.”RESPECT.
