احتفل النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو هداف فريق ريال مدريد الإسباني يوم الخميس بعيد ميلاده الثلاثين.
&
وتتزامن عيد ميلاد رونالدو بعد أقل من شهر على تتويج بجائزة الكرة الذهبية لأفضل لاعب في العالم لعام 2014، وذلك للمرة الثانية على التوالي والثالثة في تاريخه.
&
وكانت بداية مشوار رونالدو في صيف عام 1997، حين سافر وفد من نادي سبورتينغ لشبونة، بمن فيهم مدرب الفريق ليونيل بونتيس، من لشبونة الى ماديرا لإقناع رونالدو البالغ من العمر 12 عاما بالانتقال إلى الفريق، وتم جلبه مقابل 22 ألف جنيه استرليني.
&
وبعد ست سنوات لعب رونالدو مع فريقه سبورتينغ لشبونة ضد مانشستر يونايتد الإنكليزي بمناسبة افتتاح ملعب جوزيه ألفالادي، حيث فاز الفريق البرتغالي في المباراة بنتيجة 3-1، ووقتها أعجب السير اليكس فيرغسون بالشاب البرتغالي وتم التعاقد معه مقابل 12 مليون يورو حينما كان يبلغ من العمر 18 عاما.
&
رونالدو الذي بات الآن أحد أبرز وأشهر نجوم الساحرة المستديرة على مر التاريخ، بزغ نجمه على الساحة العالمية بعد انضمامه إلى مانشستر يونايتد قادما من سبورتنغ لشبونة في عام 2003، قبل أن ينتقل إلى ريال مدريد الإسباني أحد أكبر وأعرق أندية العالم، عام 2009 في صفقة قياسية قدرت بحوالي 80 مليون جنيه أسترليني.
&
"إيلاف" وبمناسبة احتفال رونالدو بعيد ميلاده الثلاثين تسلط الضوء على أبرز وأهم لحظات النجم البرتغالي والتي ساهمت بشكل كبير في تطوره إلى أن أصبح واحدا من أفضل اللاعبين في العالم، وذلك في تقرير مصور.
