Cristiano Ronaldo Football Quotations

My father was always in good spirits, he loved football. It makes me a bit sad because if he could enjoy seeing me now, what I have achieved, that would be a highlight in his life. But I'm sure that he watches over me from above.

For me Sir Alex was my father in football. He was crucial in my career and, outside football, was a great human being with me. Talent isn't everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best.

It's not a problem. In four or five days I will be beautiful once again.

There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

I still remember when my teacher told me that football wouldn't give me anything to eat

I will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.

I know who likes football likes me

I'm in love with football, but I just needed to recapture that strength to train and play. So many people helped me along the way that I'm afraid to leave anyone out. Above all, though, I want to mention the help of my medical team that has been working alongside me for the past two years.

What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.

I feel I have grown up. I am a man. It's important in my football too. When everything is good, I don't think you grow up fantastically, I think maybe you need a few problems to grow up. It is good if people in England have started to admire me. I think I have changed a little since the World Cup. I am stronger with my mentality and with my game as well.

We don't want to tell our dreams. We want to show them

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

Your love makes me strong, Your hate makes me unstoppable".
