Cristiano Ronaldo affirms that he will never pressure his son to play football, expressing his commitment to support him in any endeavor.

The 36-year-old Manchester United player recently discussed his unwavering devotion to his kids on the first episode of his longterm girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez’s Netflix project, I Am Georgina. Ronaldo is the proud father of four children ranging in age from 4 to 11 years old: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, daughter Alana Martina, also 4, and son Cristiano Jr.

The star player says his eldest son has the potential to become a “great” soccer player “if he’s dedicated” to the game throughout the episode. Ronaldo says he will never “pressure” Cristiano Jr. to become a professional soccer player like himself.

The future has the answers. No amount of pressure from me will make him change his mind. What he wants, he will get. To be happy and free to pursue one’s own path is something I wish for Cristianito and everyone else. The father of four declares his willingness to help in any manner possible.He continued by saying that attempting to be a good dad is important to him and that he finds it much simpler with Rodrguez’s guidance.

“The best thing that we can do is have children and educate them to have unconditional love… and to have a woman by your side who gives you stability, and then the kids’ education is phenomenal,” he says.

Ronaldo recently marked Rodrguez’s 28th birthday with a party. After lighting up Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa skyscraper with a photo of his fiancée and a birthday greeting, the athlete posted a photo of his family, including Rodriguez and their children, posing on a rooftop.
