It is no secret to anyone that the young YouTube sensation IShowSpeed is a major Cristiano Ronaldo fan. He has showcased his love for the Manchester United striker on multiple occasions. Now he might finally get to fulfill one of his biggest dream of meeting a soccer legend.

Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins is a young YouTube streamer from Ohio. Despite the less popularity of soccer in America, the young YouTuber has developed an action toward the world’s most-watched sport. One of the critical factors that helped Speed fall in love with the sport was Ronaldo.

IShowSpeed might finally be meeting Cristiano Ronaldo

The American YouTube streamer is currently in the United Kingdom. He got the opportunity to get on a video call with the Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand. The former Englishman is considered one of the best defenders who played for the club and the country.

In that call, Ferdinand learned that the young YouTuber is a big Ronaldo fan. So, he asked if he had ever got the opportunity to meet the Portuguese star player. However, the 17-year-old didn’t have the luck to meet his favorite soccer player. So Ferdinand said, “He’s my boy,” and can arrange a meeting with the CR7.

Speed couldn’t believe the former soccer player’s words and said, “Don’t lie to me. Come on, bro. Don’t do this.” Undoubtedly, Darren Watkins could not process that Ferdinand could get him to meet his favorite, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Eventually, Rio asked Speed how long he would be staying in the UK. Speed claimed he could stay as long as it took if he got to meet Ronaldo. However, the young American was still skeptical about Rio’s promise and said, “Bro, don’t play with my heart.” Seeing Speed’s reaction, Rio Ferdinand promised to arrange a meeting with Ronaldo.

Speed made a song for the World Cup

The 17-year-old YouTuber’s passion for soccer is growing over time. Possibly, he’s still unable to pronounce many players’ names or has yet to grasp most rules of the sport. But he’s passionate about the sport and has even made a song for the upcoming FIFA world cup.

Speed recently released a song called ‘World Cup‘ where he gave a shout to lots of soccer-playing countries. Eventually, he hyped a face-off between his favorite soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and his rival, Lionel Messi, in the finals.
