Cristiano Ronaldo ruthlessly attacks opponents’ goals, but he’s willing to defend young people with equal vigor.
Ronaldo stood up for a young Japanese fan who was attempting to interview him in Ronaldo’s native Portuguese at a promotional event for PAO Facial Fitness last year. A live audience chuckled through the fan’s Portuguese-language efforts — until Ronaldo scolded them.
Video of the scene emerged this week and now is changing the way some view the superstar, who shines for Real Madrid and Portugal’s national team.
Ronaldo, 30, has a 4-year-old son, so it makes sense he wouldn’t appreciate a crowd of people mocking a young man, whose only crime is trying new things.
Even if that young man is trying to help him sell facial fitness products.
