It is one of the most coveted jerseys in the world: Cristiano Ronaldo’s original jersey. Werder newcomer Cameron Puertas has it in the closet-and reveals how it came about.
During his time in Saudi Arabia, Werder newcomer Cameron Puertas won many athletic victory. However, he drove one of them away from the competition. As the Portuguese told the “Bild”, he once secured one of the most sought -after jerseys worldwide: that of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo
But it wasn’t that easy, according to the Neu-Bremer. After the game of his then club Al-Qadsiah against Ronaldos al-Nassr, the Portuguese initially rejected the mandatory jersey exchange. “We had won 2-1 and he was eaten,” said Puertas. The 27-year-old had a plan B ready: “I asked his teammate Nacho. He then organized it for me,” said Puertas.
The jersey is now well hidden in his closet. There he wanted to be careful of the valuable shirt. “If I settle in Switzerland at some point, I will have a suitable showcase in my house,” said Puertas.
For the offensive player, who initially came to Bremen for a year on loan, this was a special experience: “His charisma and his aura are incredible. To play against him feels like having managed to have managed.”
In Bremen, the Spaniard meets his former team-mate Senne Lynen from the time together at Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The Belgian praised the strengths of the newcomer in the “Deichstube”: “He is a player type that recognizes the possibilities that others may not see. Sometimes he shoots out of positions where you think: that doesn’t work at all – and then he meets.”
In the future he wants to help Werder together with Lynen. Already next Sunday at the Bundesliga game against Borussia Mönchengladbach (kick -off: 5.30 p.m.), Puertas, whose market value is estimated from the data portal “Transfermarkt.de” to 13 million euros, could appear for the first time for the Hanseatic League. Bremen is currently taking a point from two league games in the table.
