Unreal mentality and helicopter parenting stunning!
On the subject of Ronaldo and Coca-Cola, the legendary forward mentioned the soft drink in 2020 while explaining why he doubts his son, Cristiano Jr, has what it takes to reach the top.
"Not yet,? Ronaldo responded. ?I?m hard with him sometimes because he drinks Coca-Cola and Fanta sometimes and I'm p***** with him.
"I fight with him when he eats chips and fries and everything, he knows I don't like it.
"Even my small kids, when they eat chocolate they always look to me and, you know, we have to be strong."
Ronaldo said that although his son has talent, this will ultimately mean nothing unless he dedicates himself completely to football.
"But to be honest he has potential, he is a big boy, he's fast and he's driven well,? the goal machine added. ?But this nothing, I tell him every time, it takes a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work.
"Sometimes when we're at home I say 'go to the treadmill to run a bit' and after the treadmill I say 'now go to the cold water to recover to do it tomorrow again,' and it's 'daddy, it's so cold the water I don't want to do it.' But I understand it, he's only 10 years old, it's up to him."
Asked if he?d like his eldest son to become a footballer, Ronaldo said: "I'm not gonna push nothing for him to be a football player. If you ask me if I want, yes I want, but he's gonna be whatever he wants. If he wants to be a doctor or, I just want him thinking 'I've got to be the best.'"
