The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has lit up the Saudi League with his presence on and off the pitch. On the other side, his son has also started making a name for himself with his performances for the youth team. But, his father expects more from him. Despite his son’s goal-scoring form, the 38-year-old has given his young one a reality check.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr star himself is a long way from ending his journey as a player. However, it looks like he is already preparing his son to take over the legacy created in his long-playing career.

Cristiano Ronaldo won three awards at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai. But he certainly had a nightmare during the interview. He was asked about Vincius Jr.’s copying his celebration in the Spanish Super Cup played in the home stadium of Al Nassr. However, he misunderstood the question and instead spoke about his son. He said, “It’s good when you have a family, a big family like me. So, it is good to be proud of your kids, Jr to do it his way. I think he has a good talent. Still needs to improve more. I have to teach him some tricks. But, I see it in a good way, he likes to play football, and he has the drive, so he makes me happy.”

Cristiano Jr has been in superb goal-scoring form like his father for the youth side of Al Nassr. His last two goals that were made viral on social media had glimpses of his father. In the first goal, he dispatched the penalty under pressure and did the Siiu celebration. While for the second goal, he convincingly beat his marker in the air to score a brilliant header.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Jr is going to face praise and trolling at a young age on social media. But the Al Nassr forward himself wants his son to avoid all the pressure.
