“I have to thank my friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for a youth club. When people from sporting arrived, they told us that whoever scored more goals would be accepted to their Academy.”
“We won that game 3-0, I scored the first goal, then Albert scored a header, and the third was a goal that impressed everyone. Albert went on one on one with the goal keeper. I was running next to him, he went round the keeper, all he needed to do was just to get the ball into the empty net. But, he passed it to me and I scored. I was accepted to the
Academy. After the match, I approached him and asked him “why” and he answered; “You’re better than me”. Several years after, journalists went to Albert’s house, and asked whether the story was true. He confirmed. He also
said that his career as a football player finished after that match and he is now unemployed. “But where did you get such a gorgeous house and a car? You seemed to be a rich person. You also maintain your family. Where is all that from?”
Albert proudly replied; it’s from Cristiano.
MORALE: Never forget the person who believed in you and gave you a helping hand in life!
