"The best of it is the chance he has in front of him in the coming years. He is too young to rest or relax - this is just the beginning. Thousands of children all over the world see Cristiano and they dream about him, they want to touch him. But Cristiano's game is also about smart work, discipline, commitment. It might be a fantasy to many children except for in computer games, but behind the fantasy there is a lot of reality.

"In Portugal, we have a phrase: 'When you swim so much, you don't want to die on the beach'. When you see the light and you don't reach that final moment, it's agony. Sometimes it happens, but we want to do everything - and we're ready to do everything - to prevent that type of feeling."
