Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, but he didn't always have it easy. When he was 12 years old, he left home to attend the Sporting Lisbon youth academy. This was a very difficult time for Ronaldo, as he was away from his family and friends and didn't have much money. He often went to bed hungry.
🗣️ Ronaldo recalls: “Late at night, about 10:30 or 11, we'd get a little hungry. So we had a McDonald's next to the stadium where we lived and we'd always go to the back door and knock on the door, 'Hey, do you have any hamburgers left? and Edna and two more girls they were unbelievable. I never found the girls again. I speak to some people in Portugal to try to find out where the girls are, because I don't find them.
I want to invite them to Turin or Lisbon to come to my house, to have dinner with me and I want to meet these girls. I want to give something back to them, because that period was a period that I cherish very much. You can't imagine what it meant to have burgers at night.”
After that interview, Edna Carina Emanuel Caldas appeared, having no idea of the impact her actions had on Ronaldo.
She said: “I'm happy and it shows how humble he is. I'm really nobody for him to remember me like that. It was something that happened a long time ago. I'm very happy for what he has become. I never thought he would remember me so many years later.”
