"This week has been tough. It has been a dark week, full of unfair criticism and heartless words, as if they wanted to erase a career built with sweat, pain and discipline. They wanted to hurt, humiliate, make Cristiano seem as if he no longer had a place, as if his career was over and everything he gave to football, to Portugal and to the world could be forgotten in an instant. They forgot that he is a man, a son, a father, a brother and simply a human being. It was disgusting to read and hear so much barbarism and ingratitude. Today, unsurprisingly, he responded as always — with determination, with fury in his eyes, with the strength of a man born to fight. This is Cristiano Ronaldo. Brother of Katia, Hugo and Elma. a tireless worker, a professional of the highest level, an athlete who has embodied the dreams of millions of people and continues to rise every time they try to humiliate him. They can criticize, they can doubt, they can try to belittle him. But they will never be able to erase who he is: a fighter, a leader, an example of dedication, discipline and courage. He came to show us why he is here because he is a legend. Whatever happens. It is written for him. I am proud, my brother. Always, I know where you come from. And you, my brother, are and will always be a great man.
