Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet ended his career. Nevertheless, one of his sons is already attracting attention. He debuts Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Júnior completed his first minutes in the jersey of the Portuguese U15 national team. The 14-year-old was substituted in the 4-1 win against Japan in the 54th minute. He couldn’t score a goal – father Cristiano Ronaldo was proud anyway.
The 40-year-old wrote on the platform X: “Congratulations on your debut in Portugal’s selection team, son. I’m very proud of you!” For this purpose, he published pictures of his son’s game, who was on the pitch with striking curls.
Already the nomination of the youngster for the tournament in Croatia from May 13th to 18th had attracted a lot of attention. In Portugal, many fans hope that one day the oldest son of the five -time world footballer can kick in his footsteps.
Like his father, Cristiano Ronaldo Júnior is under contract with the Saudi club Al-Nassr-albeit in the youth team. This season he noticed as a dangerous left wing.
There are still two games at the tournament in Croatia. Against Greece on May 14th and against England on May 16, the young player has further chances of his first goal in the national jersey.
