“Leaving home was the most difficult moment of my career. I also left my family at 11, 12 to go to another city.
“It was difficult and intense, but it was good. When I understood that I had the potential to be a professional player, I was around 15, 16, 17 and that was when everything changed.”
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Ronaldo as one of the greatest striker in the history.

“He is one of the best players ever, the best forward in the history of football. I have never coached a better player than him,” Ancelotti wrote in his column for Sina Sports.
“There is an offensive position that is not the best for Cristiano Ronaldo – the centre-forward role.
“Cristiano did not like playing with his back to goal, he prefers to find space on the flanks and attack the opposition goal.
“Cristiano will always be able to find his place, because he has a special talent for getting around the pitch.
“[Under me] the team played a 4-3-3 with Cristiano starting on the left wing, but we soon found out he needed more freedom to cover more of the pitch and be where the action was.
“We’d often see Cristiano on the two attacking wings and even as a playmaker. Cristiano has to have total freedom so that he is able to believe in what he can do. Giving Cristiano freedom in attack is positive because it makes him even more unpredictable.
“To ensure that his team-mates offer him the best support possible, he has to feel as though he is free at every moment and in any part of the pitch.”
