與最初兩年不一樣，我現在住在安靜的地方
目前，我家是單身男子的公寓。我與 Nuno 和 Ze 一起住，他們和我不僅是親戚，還
是兩個我愛的人。所有的堂兄弟姐妹我都喜歡，可是 Nuno 是特別的一個。我姐夫 Ze 也
一樣，他是我最信任的人。他們是最瞭解C羅納爾多的人，只有他們知道我做什麼，不做
什麼，只有他們瞭解我的內心。為此，我們三個一起住在曼徹斯特。我媽媽經常回來看望
我，如果需要，她會整個月留在這裡陪我，她總是在我需要的時候出現。
我們是一家人，幾乎做任何事情都會在一起。如我們所願，我們過著平靜的生活。在
最初的兩年，當我母親來陪我，有時候我們回去餐廳吃午飯，午後我們會去散步，看看這
座城市。我嘗試著在左邊駕車行駛的新體驗，有時候會不小心把車開上人行道。每當我回
憶起這件事，都會忍俊不禁。但在三、四個月以後，這些笨拙的表現都消失了，我開始適
應新的交通規則，我的乘客都送了一口氣。
現在我住在一個安靜的地方，不像最初的兩年那樣。那時候我住在市中心，但我卻發
現失去了隱私。我打算搬家。我需要一個更加舒適的環境去居住，遠離煩囂，不被打擾。
當我長時間在家的時候，我還需要一個地方為我提供悠閒設施。我很享受這這份悠閒。
我相信把C羅納爾多描述成一個安靜，戀家的人，會和很多人對我的印象相悖。然而
，這是真的。我不會在外面閒逛，我也不是沉迷玩樂的人，我並不經常出去。熟悉我的人
會告訴你，我是一個很安靜的人，我很享受生活中的簡單和平凡：我喜歡安守在家，看電
視，聽音樂，放鬆一下自己。閒適是我日常生活的關鍵詞。我把它視為工作的基本原則。
正如人們所知道的那樣，球員的職業生涯很短。如果他能好好地照顧自己，不僅能在頂尖
賽事中提高自己的競爭能力，還有可能延長自己的職業生涯。這是我生活的座右銘。
當然，有時我也會去曼徹斯特的市中心，我也會在飯店用餐。但通常我更願意留在家
，與親朋好友在一起。寧靜地，沒有任何壓力。
這個城市低溫多雨。外面的大門會被強烈的風破壞。有時候我會很早回到家，因為強
風吹襲英格蘭，我們不能在場上訓練，即使是訓練中心裡的大帳篷，也不能抵擋惡劣的天
氣。到處都是被吹倒的大樹，有的還把電纜破壞了。有一次在這種情況下，我在接受完法
國雜誌 L'Equipe 的採訪後回到家，電力中斷了，當時簡直是漆黑一片。我們家裡備用的
蠟燭短缺，所以我們走到街上，朝著最近的一間超市走去。
平常 Ze 和 Nuno 去超市購物的時候，我也會一同前往。我不是說一定，但偶爾去一
下超市我沒有意見。這次我們需要蠟燭，但我們無功而返，也許所有鄰居都心有靈犀，所
以蠟燭賣完了。在為幾個人簽名以後，我們去了另一間超市。這次我們滿載而歸。回到家
後，我們讓蠟燭點滿了所有房間，甚至是通往一樓的樓梯我們也點上了蠟燭。那個場景是
非常美妙的。但這並不讓我吃驚，偶爾我會很享受燭光所帶來的平和安詳。
───────────────────────────────────────
乒乓球
現在該做什麼？實際上和平常一樣。我準備好了乒乓球檯；當 Ze 開始準備晚餐的時
候，我和 Nuno 打了一場乒乓球。
除了足球，乒乓球（和田徑）是我最喜歡的運動。我很喜歡觀看職業比賽，也喜歡自
己去打球。這種對乒乓球的迷戀在我很小的時候就開始了，也許是因為在馬德拉這是一種
非常受歡迎的運動，那裡有很多俱樂部，甚至達到了國家級水平，比如 Sao Roque，
Estreito 或者 Camara de Lobos。當我還是小孩的時候，我就在鄰居家和學校裡開始打
乒乓球。我一直都沒有停止過打乒乓球，即使是進入競技隊的學院之後。
令我滿意的是，訓練中心有很多乒乓球檯，對所有運動員開放。即使是在初學者的團
隊中打球的時候，我也經常鑽到桌子下面和同伴開些玩笑。直到有一天，競技乒乓球隊的
教練看見我在打球便走到我面前來問我：「我看過你打球，並且我認為你可以成為一個好
的乒乓球員。你有興趣練習乒乓球嗎？」「不，不，謝謝，」我一口氣回答。「我只想成
為足球運動員。乒乓球只是娛樂，一種愛好，我不想把它作為自己的職業，或者說成為職
業乒乓球球員。」我對他解釋。那時候我無法說服他。他對我非常感興趣，以至於一次又
一次的來勸說我。然而，我都拒絕了，最終他還是放棄了。足球是我的最愛。我不知道乒
乓球運動是不是少了一個優秀的球員。不過我知道即使是在今天我還是享受打乒乓球。為
了真正的樂趣，我先是用右手，然後用左手。並且不是吹牛，我認為我兩隻手都能打的很
好。Nuno 根本沒有贏的希望。即使是那些覺得自己比較厲害的人也不得不相信事實。
───────────────────────────────────────
網球
夜幕已經降臨，我們這裡仍然沒有電，風逐漸停下來了，不過還是太冷了，我不想去
打網球。
實際上，只有天氣變暖之後我才敢走出房間和朋友們來場網球比賽。不敢說我的網球
水平和乒乓球一樣，至少我非常喜歡。我也喜歡看網球比賽，尤其是 Grand Slam 巡迴賽
。我很欣賞最有競爭力的球員，比如費德勒和納達爾。我非常喜歡阿格西，不過羅迪克可
能是我最喜歡的網球運動員。
在我的花園裡，網球場的右邊，可以看到松鼠，孔雀，甚至還有一些母牛在吃草。這
些都是我的安靜的鄰居，它們已經習慣了這種健康，和平的共處，相互之間沒有衝突。不
過由於天氣很冷，我只能透過窗戶觀望它們了。
───────────────────────────────────────
游泳
這麼長時間的第一次，屋子裡面沒有播放音樂，因為我們這裡仍然沒有電。
天黑了，我們也不能打乒乓球。燭光雖然很美，卻無法讓我們看清那個小小的球。所
以我只好去游泳池；我每天都來這裡，幾乎每個小時都來。我很喜歡游泳，真的。
當我還是小男孩的時候，沙灘就是我常去玩的地方之一。我很天真的回想起位於
Funchal 附近的 Lido 海灘和 Formosa 海灘。Formosa 是由很多小島組成的，因此每天
從海灘游到其中的一個小島成了我的一種習慣。早上和下午的時候，我從沙灘游到岩石上
，再從岩石游回來，重複數次，一點都不覺得累。這樣的感覺很好，所以我經常去游泳。
如今，游泳也成了一種習慣。在我家的池子裡面有一些很棒的漂浮物，它們甚至可以
作為我每天在曼聯訓練的一種輔助手段。除了可以提高非常好的放鬆之外，游泳可能是一
種最全面的訓練活動，因為它用同一種方式作用於全身，也就是說，它鍛煉每一塊肌肉。
在英格蘭足球比賽很無情地一場接一場，所以游泳是一種理想的放鬆機會，並且在放鬆的
同時還能讓身體變得更健康。
在游泳池上面的一層，我放了一些訓練設備，不過很少用到它們。很久以前，我偷偷
跑到競技學院的健身房，在健身機器上跳來跳去。那時候才14，15歲的樣子，我很瘦。我
當時想如果我在那些機器上鍛煉的話，身上的肌肉會比較容易練出來的。每週三次，等天
黑了，我和幾個朋友在任何人都不知道的情況下跳過圍牆，爬上屋頂然後溜下去，到達健
身房。我們練習舉重和腳踏車，一般大概40分鐘左右。問題是，有人已經注意到我們了並
舉報到健身房負責人那裡。最後的結果是健身房被鎖住，我們也被關起來了。
這種鍛煉身體的感覺，我可以保證，不能解釋為任何一種的身體迷戀。由於自己太瘦
，在我的意識當中，這種想法越來越強烈。現在就不會有這樣的事情發生。我明白如今我
們的形象有很高的價值，不僅僅是在足球領域，還有其它一些比如市場或者廣告領域。很
明顯，新一代更加關心自己的形象，不像過去那樣。我帶了一年的牙套來矯正我的牙齒。
我不喜歡這種經歷，但是我已經習慣了，因為我需要這樣，並且最重要的是我喜歡自我感
覺很好。
當接生的醫生看到我的腿和腳的時候，他就給出一個至少稱得上是難以理解的評論：
「Dona Dolores，你兒子有一雙足球運動員的腳。這個小男孩將會給你帶來很多歡樂。」
媽媽對此印象很深，因為她本來就一直對足球很熱愛。如今她自豪的將這個小插曲講給朋
友們聽，畢竟那位醫生說對了。我的雙腳是身體的一部分，值得給予更多一點關註：應該
免於受到一些不必要的不舒服和傷病。每天我都會檢查，避免腳趾甲過長。不僅僅是這樣
，我還很喜歡享受腳部傳來的那種舒服的感覺。比賽之後，我的腳就會疼，因為我不斷的
在跑動，腳部傳來的好的信息能解決一切。事實上，我的腳踝是唯一不會糊弄任何人的，
在關於我的職業生涯的真相的問題上。
所以，我不會過於在意我的身體。我每天早睡，健康合理的飲食。如果我游泳，打網
球和乒乓球，我是為了完全的放鬆，並且也可以幫助我打發在曼徹斯特訓練之餘的時間。
───────────────────────────────────────
I now live in a quiet place, unlike during the first two years
At the moment, my house is a bachelor pad. I live with Nuno and Ze who,
besides being relatives, are two friends whom I love. I like all my cousins,
but Nuno is a special cousin. I have the same affinity with my brother-in-law
Ze, one of the people I trust the most. They are the ones who truly know
Cristiano Ronaldo, the only people who know what I do or don't do, only
they know my most intimate side. For that reason we three live together in
Manchester. My mother often visits me and, if need be, she will spend a whole
month with me, for she is always present in my life.
We are a family, and as such we do practically everything together. We lead a
quiet life, which is the way we like it. During the first two years, when my
mother was permanently with me, we sometimes lunched in a restaurant, and in
the afternoon we would take long walks, to get to know the city. I cannot
help but smile when I recall the many pavements I mounted when I tried the
new experience of driving on the left, something I was not used to. However,
three or four months later, the clumsiness vanished, and I became adjusted to
the new rules, to the great relief of my passengers…
I now live in a quiet place, unlike during the first two years. I was closer
to the center of Manchester then, but I was beginning to lose my privacy. I
moved, not on a whim, but due to the need to live in a more pleasant,
secluded and protected place. I also needed a space that could provide me
with good leisure facilities, since I spend most of the day at home. I enjoy
having this style of comfort.
I believe that this depiction of a quiet, stay-at-home Cristiano Ronaldo
goes against the image that most people have of me. It is, however, the
plain truth. I do not walk around, I am not a "bon-vivant", I do not often
go out. People who really know me will tell you that I am a very quiet
person who enjoys the simple things of life: I enjoy staying at home,
watching television, listening to music, and I like to rest. Furthermore,
resting is a key-word in my daily life, for I consider it fundamental to
my line of work. As everyone knows, the career of a football professional
is quite short. If he is able to take care of himself properly, during the
years he takes part in top competition not only will he add immensely to
his competitive edge, but he might even be able to extend his active career.
This is precisely my motto for life.
Obviously, I sometimes go into the center of Manchester, I also have lunch
or dinner in restaurants. But usually I prefer to stay home, surrounded by
friends, surrounded by family. Quietly, without any pressure.
It is cold, and it rains continuously. The outer gate broke due to the
intensity of the wind. I arrive home earlier, for the storm that hit England
today did not allow us to train on the pitch, and even the cover of the
pavilion at the training center could not cope with the bad weather. There
are fallen trees almost everywhere, some of which have damaged the
electricity cables. Even so, after fulfilling a long-standing appointment,
an interview for the French magazine L'Equipe, I return home, and it is
completely in darkness, with no electricity. The candles we have at home are
insufficient, so we are back on the road, now heading toward the nearest
supermarket.
It is not unusual for me to accompany Ze and Nuno when they go shopping for
the home. I am not saying it is regular practice, but I have no problem in
doing it occasionally. This time we need candles. Our trip is in vain, for
everyone in the neighborhood thought exactly the same, so candles had sold
out. After signing a few autographs, we head towards another supermarket.
This time we come out with a huge load of candles. Back home, we spread them
throughout all the rooms, even on the steps of the stairs that lead to the
first floor. The result was wonderful, but it did not surprise me, for
occasionally I enjoy the tranquility and peace of mind that a candle-lit
atmosphere can bring.
───────────────────────────────────────
Ping-pong
What to do now? Practically the same as always. I get the ping-pong table
ready; while Ze begins preparations for dinner, I play a game with Nuno.
After football, ping-pong (and athletics) is my favorite sport. I am
delighted to watch professional matches, and I love to play. This fascination
for ping-pong began very early in my life, and it can be explained by the
fact that it is a very popular sport in Madeira, where there are several
clubs, extremely competitive on a national level, such as Sao Roque, Estreito
or Camara de Lobos. I started to practice it as a small boy, both in my
neighborhood and at school. I never stopped playing, even when I moved to the
Sporting Academy.
To my satisfaction, there were plenty of ping-pong tables in the area that
is common to all athletes at the training center. Even when I played in the
starters' team, I often went down to the floor below and had some fun with
my colleagues. Until, one day, the coach of the Sporting ping-pong team saw
me play and came up to me. "I have seen you play, and I think you may become
a good ping-pong player. Do you want to practice it?" he asked me. "No, no
thanks," I answered in one breath. "What I want is to be a football player.
Ping-pong is just a diversion, a hobby, not a sport to build a career, or
to become a professional," I explained. I could not convince him at that time.
He was so enthusiastic about me that he tried to persuade me again and again.
However, I always refused, and he eventually gave up. Football was my passion.
I do not know I f ping-pong has lost a good player or not. But I do know that
even today I enjoy playing it. For sheer fun. I play with my right hand, then
with my left hand, and without meaning to boast, I think I do quite well.
Nuno does not stand a chance. And even those who believe they have a certain
knack for it have to believe the evidence.
───────────────────────────────────────
Tennis
The night is falling, we still have no electricity, the wind has calmed down,
but it is too cold for me to risk a tennis match.
In fact, only when days begin to warm up a little do I dare to step out of
the house and challenge my friends to a tennis match. I cannot say I play
as well as I play ping-pong but I do enjoy playing very much. I also like
watching it, particularly the Grand Slam tournaments. I appreciate the most
competitive players, such as Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. I lke Andre
Agassi very much, but Andy Roddick may well be my favorite tennis player.
From my garden, right beside the tennis court, I can see squirrels, peacocks,
and even some cows grazing. These are my quiet neighbors, who have already
become used to this healthy and peaceful cohabitation, with no mutual
interference. But as it is very cold, I look across at them through the
window.
───────────────────────────────────────
Swimming
For the first time in a long time, there is no music playing in the house,
because we still have no electricity.
We cannot play ping-pong, for the night is falling and the candlelight,
although beautiful, does not allow us to see the little ball clearly enough.
So I head towards the swimming pool; I use it every day, at all hours of the
day. I enjoy swimming very much. I really do enjoy it.
When I was a boy, the beach was one of the places I frequently went to. I
fondly recall the Lido beach, and Formosa beach, both near Funchal. Formosa
is composed of several small islands and after a while, I acquired the daily
habit of swimming from the beach to one of those islands. Morning and
afternoon, I swam from the beach to the rock, and from the rock to the
beach, several times, without getting tired. Feeling happy, because I always
enjoyed swimming.
Today, swimming is also a habit. I have some good swims in the pool at my
house, which could even be considered a supplement to the daily workout I do
at Manchester United. Besides providing an excellent relaxation, swimming is
probably the most complete training activity there is, since it works the
entire body in the same manner, that is to say, it exercise every muscle. In
England football matches follow each other relentlessly, so swimming is the
ideal opportunity to relax, and simultaneously to develop physical fitness.
On the upper floor of the pool area I have some exercise equipment, but I
seldom use it. A long time ago, I escaped to the gym, in the Sporting
Academy, and jumped on the body-building machines. At the time I was 14 or
15 years old, I was very skinny and I thought that if I exercised on that
equipment, it would be easier for me to build muscle. Three times a week,
after nightfall and without anyone knowing, a couple of friends and I jumped
over the fence, climbed on to the roof and went down to the gymnasium. We
practiced weight-lifting and we ran on the treadmill, usually for
approximately 40 minutes. The problem was, someone noticed us, and reported
us to the person responsible for the gym. The result was that the gym was
locked up and we were forbidden from retuning there.
This taste for physical fitness, I can assure you, cannot be interpreted as
any kind of body worship. That attitude was due only to my wish to become
stronger, for I was really thin. Today that does not happen. I know that our
image is highly valued nowadays, not only with regard to football but also in
areas such as marketing or advertising. It is also evident that this new
generation cares more about their appearance, unlike in the past. I wore
braces for a year to straighten my teeth, and I did not like the experience
but I got used to them because I needed to, and because, above all, I enjoy
feeling good about myself.
When he saw my legs and my feet, the obstetrician who delivered me apparently
made a comment that was, to say the least, curious: "Dona Dolores, you son
has the feet of a football player. This little boy is going to bring you a
lot of joy." My mother was impressed, for she had always had a passion for
football, and today she proudly tells the episode to her friends. The doctor
was right, after all. My feet are the only part of my body that deserves a
little more attention: just to prevent unnecessary inconvenience and
suffering,
I have a daily care routine to avoid ingrown toenails. But only that. I also
enjoy having a foot massage which, incidentally, is not too unpleasant. After
the games, my feet ache, for I am frequently stepped on, but nothing a good
massage cannot solve. In fact, my ankles are the only thing that do not fool
anyone the true nature of my profession.
So, I do not take excessive care over my body. I go to bed early, I try to
eat healthily and in moderation. If I swim, and play tennis and ping-pong,
I do it for pure pleasure, and also because it helps me to fill my time in
Manchester, between training.
