Description
The definitive award-winning biography of Cristiano Ronaldo - fully updated to include the World Cup, Ronaldo's explosive exit from Manchester United and his record-breaking transfer to Al-Nassr
As the Qatar World Cup opened to worldwide jubilation, Cristiano Ronaldo's second spell at Manchester United reached an abrupt conclusion.
It was not to be the fairy tale ending to a glittering career. Instead, over the two seasons, it had snowballed into a toxic standoff between himself, the board and newly appointed manager, Erik ten Hag. The Theatre's dream was over. On 22 November , Ronaldo's contract was terminated.
In this compelling account, Guillem Balagué draws on impeccable sources, first-hand interviews and unprecedented access, taking us on a journey from Madeira to Manchester, and onto Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
From Ronaldo's tutelage under Sir Alex Ferguson to becoming the biggest galáctico of them all at Real Madrid, and captaining Portugal to the first silverware in their history at the UEFA Euro , Guillem chronicles Ronaldo's career in its entirety.
Football players ronaldo biography book A marverllous read for anyone who appreciates hardwork and pains in all spheres of life. Guillem Balague, respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of what has made Ronaldo the player and man that he is today Includes bibliographical references pages What good qualities are mentioned, are mostly only done so in the context of "he only developed "x" quality because of a negative "y" circumstance, quality, or trait. However, the author Guillem Balague, a skysports-said Spanish soccer specialist, truly disappointed me by using 19 pages of foreword to defend himself.
This is nothing less than the definitive portrait of a true icon of modern football, who has reached the very heights of the beautiful game and cemented his place as one of the greatest players of all time.
