The player I admire the most is Cristiano Ronaldo. He was born in Madeira, in February 1985. His first team was “Andorinhas Football Club”, a local Madeira team but he was soon transferred to “National da Madeira”.  With only eleven years old, Ronaldo flew to Lisbon to join the schools of “Sporting Club de Portugal”. In 2003, Ronaldo joined Manchester United, one of the greatest footbal teams in the world and now he plays for Real Madrid, the second best football team worldwide, in my opinion. FCB (Football Club Barcelona) is the best nowadays.
