Cristiano, how are you?
>> I'm good, my friend. And you?
>> I think we I interview you like every
three years and in three years an
amazing amount of stuff happens in your
life. Do you ever do you ever stop and
think your life is like insane?
>> I never thought about that, but I have
to agree with you. It's true. Uh the
last interview with that we made
>> was [clears throat] hard
hard
honest like always. This is what I
pretend to do with my interviews
>> which is I don't do it a lot because of
that because less is more as you say
>> but in this time I promise I'm going to
be um a good man. [laughter]
>> You've told Gio you're not going to be
too controversial. I say because I ask I
share with her that I'm going to give
interview to you and I say I promise
that I'm going to be a good [laughter] man.
man.
>> Do you think you'll keep that promise?
>> Yes. Today? Yes.
>> Okay. We'll see how you get on.
>> Let's see.
>> Um I love your We're in Saudi Arabia,
your home in Riyad. I love your man cave
here, but there's one problem.
>> You know what it is?
>> I I I
>> Where where is the Arsenal shirt that I
gave you?
>> I knew it.
>> I mean, where is it?
>> It's in inside the >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
I mean, come on. [laughter]
You know what still kills me? The the
revelation that you made last time that
you could have been an Arsenal player,
that you met Arson Wenger, you were
going to come, it was all done, all
agreed. And then you know who I blame
for this? John O'Shea. You know why I
blame John O'Shea? Because Sporting
Lisbon played Manchester United in a
friendly and you terrorized John O'Shea
so badly that four of the United team
went to Sir Alex Ferguson their manager
and said do not leave before you signed
this kid and he didn't leave and he
signed you that day. True story.
>> This is true story but it's as I told
you Pierce is the past is gone. It's
part of the life and honestly when I
look at Arsenal I'm always looking not
like a rival like I nearly I was nearly
there. So I'm not going to say that I
have a passion for the club. But when I
look at Arsenal, I like the team. I like
when they win because of those that
story, but you know, I was the life, you
know, as the football, it's all about
opportunities and moments. And this is
what I what I see and I took that
opportunity. But to be honest, and you
know that I'm I'm never lie. Oh, sometimes
sometimes
uh well sometimes I'm I'm lie [laughter]
for a good ways but I'm was nearly there
in Arsenal to be honest but I think my
story not not will change a lot will be similar
similar
>> it won't change for you but it changed
for me
>> I don't think so because Arsenal still
continue a top team and win titles and
everything big players so maybe Arsenal
not
>> not what it could have.
>> Not too much. [laughter]
>> Do you think we'll win the league this
season? Arsenal, the top of the league.
>> Could be. It's possible. I think the
Premier League it's
the level of the teams is it's very very
similar. I mean the top ones
>> but you know the Premier League it's
always you never know what's going to
happen. It's it's very very difficult
league, very tough league. But
Manchester not going to win the league
for sure because they have so many
points behind right now.
It's possible. Yes. But I I don't
believe on that. Arsenal probably.
>> Give me Give me some hope here. Come on.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I need the big dog to give us the
>> It's possible. Let's see.
>> Let's see it come out of your lips. Yes.
Arsenal can win the league.
>> Yes, Arsenal can win the league. Thank
you. I've got [laughter] I've got my
sound bite.
>> It's possible.
>> Um, you mentioned Manchester. You're
probably talking about City, not United.
Last time we spoke was a very different
situation. You'd fallen out with the
people at United. You know, you wanted
to leave. You did leave. Pretty much
everything you said in that interview
has been borne out by events. So even
though it caused huge controversy, I
don't think anyone can look back at that
interview and say you weren't being
completely honest and that the problems
you identified were obviously true.
There's not been much improvement. I
mean, if anything, United have gone
backwards since that interview. What is
going wrong with United, do you think?
And how can it get fixed?
>> Well, as as as you mentioned, goods. For
me, it's it's I'm sad because of the
club that one of one of the most
important clubs in the world and a club
that I still have in my heart because of
the obvious reasons. You have to follow
with the with the intelligent people,
smart people um to create a base for the
future as Manchester United have so many
years ago. Nikki, Gary's
uh [snorts] Roy Kings, Beckhams,
they become a big players but they had youth.
youth.
>> So Manchester United right now they
don't have a structure. I hope that change
change
>> in a future
present future
because the potential of the club it's
amazing. It's it's one of the most
important clubs of the century. So,
>> do you still look out for United results
and does it hurt you to see how badly they
they
>> Of course. Of course, because I was I
was to play there so many many years. I
win the Champions League there. I win
the Golden Ball. I win like 12, 13, 14
titles there. So, as I say and I repeat,
Manchester United still in my heart. I
love that club. But we have all to be
honest and look for ourselves and say,
listen, they are not in a good path. So
they need to change and it's not only
about the coach and players in my
opinion it's it's
>> there's a young Portuguese coach there
now Amarin what do you make of him
>> you do it to his best
>> what are they going to do miracles
miracles is impossible we say in
Portugal miracles is only in Fatima
>> and um
I don't know if you know this that
expression they start to smile because
they know
>> you know the Fatima it's
>> and you not going to do miracles. Even
the players Manchester United have a
good players but then don't have some of them
them
uh the mind
what is Manchester United is
>> you became a billionaire last week. [laughter]
>> I and I was the one that told I I was
the one that told you
>> cuz I messaged you and said, "Have you
seen this?" Not true.
>> It's not true.
I'm billionaire so many years ago. [laughter]
>> I knew you'd say that. [laughter] I knew
you'd say that. And you probably were, right?
right?
>> Yeah. With 39.
>> How did you know? Who Who told you?
>> Please. I know my my money.
>> Do you know exactly what you were? >> Really?
>> Really?
>> Not precise 100%. But of course, you
have to take care of your stuff. It's
>> It's [clears throat] normal,
>> you know. I'm not I'm not like
like that to look but I have people
around me who help me you know to do the
right things in all areas but financial
I have a guy who I spoke
almost every day not about that but
about my structure the investments the
opportunities the and I have control you
know uh because it's my life is my money you
you
that moment when you realized you're a
billionaire. What was that like?
>> I knew it that this is what will happen.
So, I was prepared. Uh is a is a matter
of time. >> So,
>> So,
honestly, I was super happy.
It's like when you won a golden ball
because you make your own uh goals.
>> You make your own goals. Everyone make
these on goals to to build a house, to
have a car or
>> it was my goal to reach that number
because Yes. Yes. Honest.
>> It's not I'm not obsessed
for the money because I think the money
you can help it can help you to in many
ways. But when you reach some level, the
money is doesn't matter anymore in my opinion.
opinion.
>> But it's always good to have more
>> because we are human beings. We are
never happy what what we have. There is
something that I learned during the time
that financial is important, the money
is important but other things that are
more important than that. But
>> to answer your question, I was super
happy because it was one of the main
goals that I had on my mind. uh a part
of football trophies, Champions League,
Golden Balls, trophies, everything.
Financial and in a business way, it was
my goal. So with 39, I reached that that
number and I was so proud to be honest.
>> And now the world has caught up and
Bloomberg did this report and you were
declared the first ever football
billionaire. The first ever. And there
are a very small number of sporting
icons who have passed that mark in other
sports. Tiger Woods, uh Roger Federra,
um you could talk about uh Michael
Jordan, but there are very few.
Cristiano, you could
>> football. I'm the only one.
>> You're the only one in football. Does
that mean a lot to you to be the only one?
one?
Well, don't surprise me a lot because if
you say the story of football and they
can't talk they can call me kaki or
whatever but the numbers they don't lie.
It's something that I'm always say and I
will continue to say if you if you see
so many records in football Christian is
there in the top of the list. So it's
one record more. So for me don't honest
don't surprise me because I knew I knew
it my potential in football and I'm my
potential outside the football don't
surprise me to be honest I knew it that
I'm going to reach that number for many reasons
reasons
but deep inside I was happy it's one of
my goals and
my motivation is still to you say h but
money is is continue to do continue is
your motivation for football. No, but helps
helps
>> in my opinion.
>> Well, you you said about records that
you don't chase record, they chase you.
>> In a way, the same applies to money. I
would think is that if you keep your
performance levels at the level you've
helped them, of course,
>> then obviously the brand is maintained,
the revenues come in, right? I mean,
it's all performance related.
>> This is was my strategy a few years ago.
I say if you continue to be in the top
level and continue to perform
>> that number will reach to you because as
you mentioned good everything it's
together you understand so it was my
plan if you ask me you thought that you
will reach so quick probably no but I
knew that I will reach that
uh and it was good my Show me your left
hand a minute.
>> Which one? You want to see this or this?
>> Well, I'm I'm looking at both and
thinking your left hand is probably
worth more than I have in my life. [laughter]
[laughter] [clears throat]
[clears throat]
>> No, no, no.
>> And I'm not a poor man, Cristiano, but
this this arm is
>> it's not that much.
>> I mean, this watch alone
>> when they see Cristiano
when they see the bright, they say,
"Wow, Christian have that." But
sometimes it's it's fake. But they don't
they [laughter] don't realize because
I'm Christian, nobody believe that it's fake.
fake.
I'm joking.
>> What is the most
>> It's a present. I'm cannot say no.
People give me >> really
>> really
>> Georgin offer me this in a Christmas
>> and I have a sponsor with Jacob.
>> So I didn't buy with my own money. I
have the sponsor. You understand?
>> What what is the most expensive thing
you've ever bought?
I most expens expensive thing that I bought.
>> A plane.
>> A plane. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> I love the way you had to think about that.
that.
>> But it was
>> what what kind of plane?
>> I have my plane since I 13 years old,
but I changed right now one year ago. So
it's a little bit expensive.
>> What What model do you have now?
>> I have a Global Express.
>> Nice. I mean, that's a sign, isn't it?
That's a that's a moment when you have
your own plane, isn't it?
>> I had since I had
13 years old.
>> So, I have 10 years the the plane, but I
changed for a better one now. But as I
say, P for me it's is I I tell you
before the money gives you opportunity
to have material things, which is is good.
good.
But I'm in a moment of my life that for
me it's
I don't care anymore about that. For me
the most important things it's
I want to live the next chapter of my life
life
uh with not expensive costs let's say in
that way because
>> they already my dreams is already gones
I mean when I was young 20s and 30s I
used to love cars and everything to
drive I'm not have that passion anymore
planes I just have because I have I need
because I'm I'm a nor I'm not normal
person. I cannot be in our boards. I buy
because of that. It's and of course it's
let's say it's it's um
help me the word like a comfort. >> Yeah,
>> Yeah,
>> it's like a comfort. But I don't look
for that anymore. I just want to be up,
enjoy the life. As
Carl Young say, after the 14s, it's you
really know and you start to live the
life. And this is what I start to feel that
that
>> for me, the money is good, but it's not
important anymore.
>> But you mentioned normality there and
you clearly can't lead what people would
consider a normal life. You can't go
where there are groups of people because
you'll be mobbed and I've seen it. Um,
but having said that, you're probably
the most normal billionaire superstar I
know. Genuinely, you're just very
regular. I People always ask me about
you. I go around and people come up to
me all the time and it's like, "What's
Cristiano like? What's he really like?
What's he really really like?" And I
say, you know, Cristiano, he's just a
normal guy. You know, we message a lot
and you're just a regular nor you're
like one of my mates, right? You don't
carry with you the heirs and graces of
somebody who feels entitled to any of
this. I get the feeling that you never
forget where you came from. Probably
your mother, I think, and your family
make sure that doesn't happen. Gio
probably does, too. But I I think you
enjoy the trappings of your success. But
I don't think it's changed you as a
person at all. I think you are actually
surprisingly normal.
>> It's difficult when you speak about
about you.
But as I told you before and this is
what I feel. I don't care. You know me.
I don't care what the people thinking
about me and if they say that I'm cook
that I'm arrogant. I don't care. Honest
with 14 years old, five kids have the
best friends ever. I have the team that
they help me a lot. Public opinion for
me it's is not important anymore. I just
want to be happy to do it what I like to
do to still maintain my level in
football score goals which is still
maintain me happy and still I'm still
happy when I go training compete in the
training and I think I'm a normal people
I'm I'm not I don't spend money for
example I'm I'm not go shopping if I I
go anywhere I can buy whatever I want
but I don't need that anymore
>> sometimes I okay let's Say 3 days ago I
buy a car, but it's for collection.
>> It's It's like you buy a frame.
>> I'm not going to drive that car. It's
like investment.
>> What was the car?
>> Mercedes. Uh, sorry. I have Mercedes as
well. I buy Bugatti as well.
>> Turbulon, but it's investment.
>> How many cars have you got now?
>> I don't know. P.
>> You don't know how many cars?
>> I don't count the cars. Serious. I don't count.
count.
>> I love how you make that sound so normal
that you
>> But it's normal.
>> You don't know how.
>> I don't want to be humble. It's It's a fact.
fact.
>> 10 20 30 40 >> 50.
>> 50.
>> Yeah, maybe >> 50.
>> 60.
>> Honest, if you have to bet, I say I
don't know. 41 40. I don't know, P. I
don't know. I swear I swear for my kids.
>> What's your What's your favorite?
>> I love the Bugattis. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yes. I have a few and they are they have
different they are different beasts.
>> But do you ever drive these cars?
>> I never drive
>> really. I for example I was one week in Madrid
Madrid
and not even go my garage to see the
cars if they are there just the day that
I left the car the two Bugattias went to
the inspection inspection
>> and they coming back and just look at
them they are good they are clean
they're good they go to the garage
>> but it's honest I for me the cars is is
not anymore a passion
>> do you ever drive >> yes
>> yes
>> you do
>> I drive You can drive around.
>> I'm not driving a lot in Saudi because
>> we're used to trading in afternoon and I
go always with the driving
>> and the traffic is terrible.
>> Yeah. And the traffic is terrible. But
for example, when we go when we coming back
back
>> uh to home is not traffic.
>> So yesterday you know the the the
Alnasar they have the sponsor with BMW
and uh all the players have a new car.
So yesterday I drive home with my new BMW
BMW
home but I'm not drive like in Saudi like
like
>> one year. Wow. 6 months let's say.
>> You mentioned goals. You just scored two
more goals for Portugal. You then got
substituted in the 77th minute
>> and the opposition Hungary scored a last
minute equalizer. I can only imagine how
you were feeling. I would have one rule
if I was your coach. If Cristiano has
two goals, never stop him getting a
hat-tick because I know you and you
would do anything in [snorts] your power
to win the game but to get a hattick.
So, how did you feel about being yanked
off without being able to score your hatrick?
hatrick? Honest
Honest
even the goals uh sometimes you think the
the
the easy way will be the better way but
it's not. Sometimes I know what you mean,
mean,
but I have to be in the mind of the
coach as well. Maybe want to keep the
result to one to put another another
player to save the result that is fresh
that they can help to defend more the
team. I understand and apart of that I I
I I have to agree with the coach because
we are not all the same. We are not
thinking the same way. So if I will stay
I will try to score the third goal but
substitution sometimes is good even if
you have two goals not not a problem for
me anymore because I have scored so many
tricks so one more one less for me it's
your your goal scoring record since you
turned 30 is ridiculous is more than
>> more than before you were 30 I mean
there's no player in history that has
that you've scored 948 career goals now
so last week
>> all with deals always.
>> Exactly. So, there's proof. I've heard
you say that. You're right. There's
proof of every goal. Do you remember
>> The first goal I score professional. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Morance. Yes.
>> What was the goal?
>> You should see the goals.
>> Is it good? [laughter] >> Unbelievable.
>> Unbelievable. >> Really?
>> Really?
>> Oh, the second goal. No, the first goal.
>> Unbelievable goal.
>> So, you started with an absolute worldy.
>> You didn't see this goal the first time? >> Amazing.
>> Amazing.
I need a video of this guy.
>> Unbelievable. This is was it was the moment
moment
>> that the people say, "Listen, this guy
going to be a good >> Really?"
>> Really?" >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Okay, let's have a look at this.
>> Oh. Oh, step over.
>> Oh, what a first.
first.
>> Wait, that is a that's a banger. And the
shirt came off. >> Good.
>> Good.
>> Oh, what a goal. Even the the
commentators they say this is why these
players that don't stay longer in our league
league
>> with 17 for me is like it was a a big
boom for me like
>> yeah that feeling that first goal and it
was a great goal but that first goal is
that where you first got that rush where
you were like this okay I love this
>> now you you this is give you confidence
for yourself you say wow I play with the men's
men's
>> so they want to stop But even with 17, I
was quicker than them, smarter than
them, and score. This is where you start
to feel that you're going to be I'm not
going to say golden ball, whatever, but
a good professional player.
>> Who who's been your favorite player to
watch ever? to mention one player. It's
I think it's not
>> is the one like if the television's on
and there's a match and there's a
certain player in the last 20 30 years
and you've gone I got to watch that
because of this guy.
>> I watch the game. I watch the the the players
players
to watch something because of one
player. No, I watch for example Brazil
>> because they have many players. They
have Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Kaka. Yes. I
[snorts] watch uh I don't know Argentina
because of the players that they have. I
watch Spain.
I I look in that way not because of one
player honest but I have to respect that
in the state of football you have many
many many many great players and stars
players which is you enjoy more than the
other ones of course but to follow a
game only because one player no
could you imagine retiring >> yes
>> yes
>> have you got in your head an age when
that may happen >> soon
>> soon
But uh I think I will be prepared. Will
be tough. Of course. Will be difficult.
Yes. Probably I will cry. Yes.
>> Yeah. Normal. And I'm easy guy to cry.
I'm I'm I'm not keep my feelings.
I'm honest. I'm open person. Yes.
>> Will be very very difficult. Yes. But
peace I prepare my future since 25 26 27
years old. I prepare my future. So I
think I will be capable
to support that pressure that what what
could bring you anything like the joy of
football of actually playing football
because you clearly still love playing?
What outside of football do you think
could even come close to replacing that?
Anything or have you accepted?
>> Nothing I think. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh nothing will be compared. that the
adrenaline that we have for football to
score a goal and
will will gone this this way but as I
say everything have the beginning
everything have the end so I think I
will be prepared I think but I have
another other passions I'm going to have
more time for me I'm going to have more
time for my family to raise my kids
especially the Bella that I have three
years old that I start to feel when I
travel and stay so many days you with
the team kind of a rush. I want to
follow Cristiano Jr. because it's in in
the moment of the age that it's they're
a little bit stop stupid. They do stupid
things normal because I did the same. I
[clears throat] want to m that I love
football as well. I want to be more
family person, more present
>> also to have my own hobbies which is I
like you know to like I like to see UFC
the fights I like paddle for example
it's our main sport.
>> I hear you very good sport.
>> I hear you're good at paddle.
>> Well, we learn me and my my my my
[clears throat] friends my my my close
of friends. It's something that we we've
been together unit.
>> So it's good.
I like and I want to learn something
more about my companies other stuff
about for example I'm not never going to
be YouTuber of course but I'm
>> well you have got 76 million subscribers
>> I want to be there
>> and you got that in about 3 months I
mean you say you're not want to be a
YouTuber you're one of the biggest
YouTubers in the world [laughter] I
struggled for three years to get to 4
million and thought I was a genius you
come along and in about 3 minutes you
overtook me
>> I'm going to spend more time [laughter]
on that to learn to do it more stuff.
I think I'm going to do it the funny things
things
>> and things that I'm not used to do it
before because as you know for me [clears throat]
[clears throat]
>> the perspective that I have football is
not only about to go to the training ground
ground
>> training one hour
>> and do treatment I leave football 24
hours let's say in that way
>> to do it the right things to perform because
because
by my age the things is getting more
difficult to recover over fast. But I'm
enjoying this process. It's nice that
you see the life with the different eyes
and with the different vision. You have
the different ideas. For me, it's a good
challenge. Even with my age, I'm enjoy
this period of my life because you learn
so many things and you start thinking
about other things, not only in football
and makes you happy.
>> Which of the brands that you really
enjoy working with? I know that you
you're big in real estate for example.
You have I know about your after shave.
I use it. It's very successful, I have
to say. I mean, people go, "Oh, you
smell like Christian." So, you know, [laughter]
[laughter]
um, but what you've got so many
different things you're involved with.
Which are the the big ones for you that
you're most engaged with, do you think?
>> Uh, YouTube. We start to do a few things
with the with the YouTube. The image is
always there.
>> As you say, the real status is my really
passion. And people that don't know that
I'm a challenge person.
in some business that people don't even
dream about that. I'm not I mention
of the interview.
Uh I'm a person that always want to learn
learn
>> uh not only in the business way but al
also in a life for the new chapter of my
life that start to get to get a little
bit more mature in some decision. You
have I don't want to reveal a secret,
but you have a video game room around
the corner with about eight consoles.
>> And I noticed you've got an esports
award there. I mean, you love all this
stuff, don't you?
>> Yeah, it's it's the future.
>> As [clears throat] you mentioned, the
esports, it's I'm ambassador of that
huge event that they do it every year
here in Saudi.
>> I have to appreciate our boss MBS.
MBS.
uh he gave me that opportunity to be the
ambassador of the Egames which is his if
if you never saw you should be here to
see it's the great event
and I'm here in the country of course
because of him as well. So it's a guy
that I really respect and uh I'm here
because of him. So we do the fantastic
things for the for the country
especially a game.
>> Let's turn to the other more important
deal you did recently.
>> Which one? I do
>> your your engagement
>> to Gio.
>> The most important.
>> I mean, come on. This is
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
>> This is the biggest deal.
>> If not, she killed me. [laughter]
>> Yes, it's true.
>> Now, you've managed to resist
getting married to your 40s. Well, you
haven't got married to and you're 40, right?
right?
>> But finally, >> finally,
>> finally,
>> you you propose. So, talk me through this.
this.
>> What made you decide to finally pop the question?
question?
I'm always say the things the good
things coming in the right time. Uh and
sometimes you need time to realize
uh that you don't do it some mistakes. I
don't mean in that way. I'm going to
propose her because I think it's the
moment not only because it's the mother
of my kids but only the it's the person
that I'm love more
is the love of my life.
So I think it's the right moment as you
say you're 14 years old. Um,
nothing going to change. Nothing going
to change just because we're going to
marry. It's just a beautiful chapter of
the life, you know. It's it's good. Uh,
>> how did you propose?
>> Was funny. Was funny. Uh, I knew it that
one day I will do that. But I don't know
which way. You know, it's difficult. I
don't know. You are married. Yes. When
you propose your wife, you never know
the moment, the scenario, the environment.
environment.
And I'm always say that the good things
coming in a natural way. Football, life,
opportunities, married. And it coming in
a funny way because she asked me
something. She asked me for a ring to
offer her because it was one of her
dream to have like a good stone and I
work hard work hard and I finally I find
what she love it and I speak with my guy
and I say listen keep it we're going to
do it the dinner tonight and after I'm
going to offer to her
and this is what we did but something
after I stay with that alone and one of
my friends they take the phone and
filming which is they never did before.
I know that friends for 10 years they
never do this. Not even ask me to take a
picture. Imagine. And they filming
me. I say, "Wow, weird." And after it
was like 1:00, 1:00 a.m. My daughters
was in the bed sleeping, Alana and Eva.
And one my friend gave me the ring to
offer Jill.
I was given the ring and my two girls
coming and they say, "Daddy, you're
gonna give the ring to mom and you're
gonna ask her to be married." And I say,
"Wow, is the right moment to say yes."
>> I say yes.
>> It wasn't a timing and G didn't believe
yes. Yes.
>> I knew it that I will do it that one day.
day.
>> But you hadn't planned it for that. >> No.
>> No.
And it was the moment that my daughter's
coming and I say yes now is the time.
This is what I want and I offer because
my daughter saying that my friends film me.
me.
>> And were they there? The daughters they
did you get on bended knee.
>> I I didn't do that because I was like >> prepare
>> prepare
and uh was a beautiful moment. Did you
make a little speech or did you just say
>> Yes, I did. You know, it was record.
>> What What kind of thing were you saying?
>> No, I say simple. Pierce, come on. I'm
not like romantic guy. I am You sound
very romantic.
>> I'm not very romantic guy. I'm not that
kind of guys. They bring flowers every
week to the home.
>> But this is a big moment.
>> One one per month, let's say. Not every
[laughter] week.
>> But I'm romantic in my way. You
understand? But it was beautiful and I
knew it that it was the woman of my
life. So I did that and I hope that I do it.
it.
>> Did she hesitate or?
>> No. But one thing that I love it. She
didn't care about the the ring.
>> She asked me if I was
if I speak the truth. Say honest.
>> Honest. Yes. Yes. Honest. I want you
blah blah blah. I want to marry you.
Blah blah. But she didn't believe. But
it was funny. Was
>> Did you Did you cry?
>> I didn't cry, but I was like because I
see his reaction, I I had tears on my my
eyes. Yes.
>> And was that because of the cost of the
ring or
>> both? [laughter]
>> I've never seen that ring.
>> Both. I mean, I've seen human beings get
blinded by that ring when she walks around.
around.
>> We [laughter] don't know.
>> Um, you last time we spoke, uh, you'd
gone through a very sad period as a
family. you lost [snorts] your baby son.
You talked very movingly about that.
That kind of experience can it can
damage a relationship or it can make it
stronger. Clearly in your case it must
have made things stronger for you. Do
you feel that?
>> I feel that we always support each other.
other.
Sometimes it's like in a relationship
you have good moments, bad moments. It's
part of the the journey. But probably in
that period uh we consolidate more the
relationship because of what's what you
say. But even even this is something
that I learned by the time even in the
worst moments you have to make you have
to make the things move you know because
not only when you are in the there
>> in a good moment that's not going to
come the bad moments. try to find the
balance for everything in a good moments
and in a bad moments back to the basic
points a baseline
>> and this is something that I learned uh
was difficult periods but it was nice
honest was nice because I learned so
many things
uh I saw
all other perspective of the life um
um
my daughter now which is three years
old. She's the queen of the family.
She's the who make the house happy.
>> You know, everything happened for a
reason. I believe on that. So, we are a
blessed family. So, I'm proud I'm proud
for that.
>> For those who don't know Gia, I've had
the pleasure of of meeting her a few
times. What is it about her that made
her so special to you?
Well, she have so many things, good
things that I love it that I believe
she's unique in that way which is is
she take care of me which is is very
important. She take care of the family,
she take [snorts] care of the house
which is take a lot of work.
>> If you want to be the opposite, I will
I'm not will deal with that. Men's
cannot deal with that honest. Um, and
she's special for me because a part of
his qualities,
beautiful body and everything that I
like, she's a person that understand me
and um take care of me and my family.
So, this is what I I'm looking for.
>> Was your mom happy when you told her?
>> Yes, I believe they are happy. my old
family. It's it's something that I think
that it's good for all family. Not just
for my family, kids, wife, but also for
my mom, brother, sisters. I think they
are off all happy because they say they
see that I'm a groom man now. So, so
they are happy and uh as I say and I'm
continue to repeat, it's a new chapter
of the life.
>> Do you have a wedding day yet?
>> Not yet. We planned to do it after the
World Cup with the trophy. But
>> do you know do you know where you want
to get married?
>> We didn't plan that because she don't
she is not the person that they like big
parties. She don't like it. She like uh
private things.
>> So I will respect his decisions because
I'm not
>> More importantly, have you decided on
where the stag party is going to be and
can I come?
>> Why not?
>> Thank you.
>> Can you do the interview? Oh no. Is he
organizing it? Jose
>> Jose organized everything. [laughter]
Our CEO organized everything.
>> Have you he got a stag party? I mean,
what are we talking a week? A week somewhere.
somewhere.
>> You are part of the family.
>> Thank you, Cristiano. I want to talk
about another very sad thing that
happened to you recently. You lost one
of your Portugal colleagues, Diego Jot,
and it was an unbelievably shocking
thing to happen.
Where were you when you heard that he
had he died with his brother in this crash?
crash?
>> I was with the Gio alons in our period
of rest. I was there in a gym in the
morning with you. Uh
I I I
didn't believe when they send messages I
I
I'm cry a lot.
Jill can confirm that. I don't uh
it was very very difficult moments for
every for the country, for families, for
friends, for teammates. Uh disaster,
very very very sad news.
>> He's 28 years old. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> At the peak of his game, he was playing
at Liverpool. He was everything was
going so well for him. And just reminded
you how fragile life can be. Right. This
is why something that I mentioned before
that you have to to enjoy the moments
and don't plan much to the future. This
is why
my my guys they can confirm I'm not plan
now not just because of that situation
but before also with my kids that
happened. I'm not planning
the long terms
>> only short terms because everything can
change in one in one moment or another
moment. So we have to be happy to be
here and live the moment enjoy the life
because the future only goes know. So
but it was a shock moment. We still fel
feel the hour there in the national team
when you put the shirt
because the yoga we it was one of us.
>> What kind of guy was he away?
a good player as you know, but very
very how you say he's not a guy that
speak too much or was very how do you
say the words? >> Levelheaded.
>> Levelheaded. >> Yes.
>> Yes. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yes. I really
like uh I like it to meet him to share
with him so great moments but
but
was sad sad uh I had opportunity to
speak with their family
>> and to give support because this moments
we cannot
>> because you know beautiful young wife
and children I mean this was
>> everything everything is
>> is gone because of one moment So we have
to enjoy the life piece. So it's hard.
>> You didn't attend his funeral and your
sister responded to people who were sort
of raising questions by saying on social
media that you just didn't want to turn
the whole thing into a unnecessary
circus with too much attention on you.
Is that is that really what you were thinking?
thinking?
>> Two things.
>> Um people criticize me a lot. As I say,
I don't care about that because when you
feel your conscience is good, free, you
know, you don't have to be worry about
what the people say.
>> But one of the things I don't do, it's
after my father die, I never been in a cemetery.
cemetery. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Again. And second, as you say, and you
mentioned good and you know me and you
know my reputation, wherever I go is a
circus. you know
>> I don't go also
because if I go the attention
>> go from me and I don't want this kind of
attentions and
I saw and I'm not criticized I just say
that I didn't like it when you go in some
some sensitive
sensitive
uh moment
to do it interviews
speak about him to speak about football.
Come on guys, what what is this?
>> You know this show is
life. Sometimes I'm not part of that.
>> If you want to be part of this world,
good luck. I'm going to be another side.
>> People can continue to criticize me. Oh,
they criticize. But it's gone already. I
felt I felt good with my decision.
>> I don't need to be in the first line.
people see me. I they're going to speak
good because Christian is coming. No,
no. I planning the things I thinking
about his family. I don't need to be in
the cameras
to for the people see what I do.
>> I do behind the scenes, my friends. I
feel better than that. But they do it a
big propaganda and big publicity by my
name. But it's okay. No problem. I understand.
understand.
and to change the conversation for funny
way. If you want to enjoy
in a birthday, don't invite me because
if [clears throat] I go to your birthday
going to be a big mess.
>> No, no, that's fine with me. No, not
>> don't invite me. You're going to enjoy
my big party
>> without Cristiano. I turned 60 this year
and I'm going to
>> Don't invite me, please.
>> Have a party and I want you to come and
ruin it. You can come and be the star of
the show. The big dog's here invite me.
Don't you worry.
>> You're not going to enjoy.
>> No, I wouldn't. [laughter] Because the
people you're going to say to your
friends, listen guys, Christian is coming.
coming.
>> You don't know my friends.
>> Don't take pictures.
>> You don't know my friends.
>> They're going to drink two glasses of wine
wine
>> in the middle of the night. They're
going to say, "Cristiano, please take a
picture with me. We'll be a big mess."
>> My friends drink a lot more than two
glasses of wine [laughter] first.
Secondly, I will do anything for the
Instagram, right? And you at my at my
party, of course, it's going to blow up
the internet. I'll take any circus you
want to bring.
>> It's not a problem.
>> No, I'm not going to be [laughter]
You're going to enjoy more. Trust me, Chris.
Chris.
>> The first interview we did in uh Cherim,
[clears throat] when you were at
Juventus, and you revealed a story which
was really extraordinary that when you
were like 13, you were so hungry at the
Sporting Lisbon Academy that you and a
friend would they you go and to a local
McDonald's and you would hang around the
back and two ladies in the McDonald's
would give you free burgers and you were
so grateful to them because you were so
hungry, literally hungry. And we tried
everything after that to find them. And
then I hear that you were walking
through an airport and you randomly recently
recently
>> and you randomly bumped into one of
them. Tell me about that.
>> Well, it was a funny funny story.
>> I land from Hiad to Lisbon.
>> When I take off there, we are in a
private private area. And one of my
friends, they say, "Cristiano, look what
I see here." And I look at, you know,
when you see some person and you
recognize straight away, even 20 years
after. And I was with my kids and with
the with Gio and everyone. And I give a
big hug
>> to the girl and even my kids say,
"Daddy, what you do?" And also, Gio,
look at me. And I and I tell them the
the story. And it was like a moment that I
I
I feel like wow the life is a box of
surprises. You never expect
uh this moment and it was good and I was
I spoke with my with my my friend
>> we are already know who is the people 100%.
100%.
>> And pretty soon I will do something
something special. I promise. uh when I
say something I try to promise
>> and I will do it 100%.
And one of the person was that girl
>> that's amazing
>> which is we already have there.
>> What did she say when she saw you?
>> Did she know that?
>> She a little bit on shock because she
never expect that I will recognize her.
In the same way when she saw me she say
it's Cristiano maybe she not going to
>> not even speak with me. Did she realize
you had been that boy who then? >> Yes,
>> Yes,
>> she did.
>> And she tell me one thing. She say,
"Cristiano, you never imagine. Every
time that you come to Portugal, I know
because I'm I work behind the scenes and
I plan to come in here to receive you
just to see you and they always make me
a part."
And this moment because one of the
person that didn't come I replace uh
this is why I come and I was so happy I
said listen this is the life the life is
brilliant because of that and it's all
about moments chapters and everything
and I said to my friends to keep our
number and we're going to do it
something when I'm going to have time
I'm going to do it something
uh beautiful and special for that people
who helped me in that period. Amazing
story. And what's even more incredible
>> is that your new CEO at Al Nasir. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Is a guy called Jose. He's sitting
standing right over there.
>> And he was the other guy with you. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Queuing up for the McDonald's from those
ladies. He was 13. You were 13. And he
was telling me a story which says a lot
about you that he was actually going to
be let go from the academy. and you aged
13 [clears throat] went to see the head
of the academy and you pleaded with him
to keep your friend and you added a
fifth bed to a little little dormatory
of about four beds very tight. You added
a fifth bed and he allowed your friend
to stay and he went on to become a
professional footballer himself. Played
in in Premier League, played in other
leagues and came here and is now the new
CEO of Ali and apparently doing very
well. I think he told me that actually.
But but what an amazing journey you two
have been on. I think
>> here you both are age 40.
>> When you were 14, you were you had no
money. You were hungry. You were queuing
for burgers. And now you're here here
together living the
>> look the life. How brilliant is I love
it. Sometimes when I'm thinking and
speak about this kind of moments, I feel
emot emotional, you know, because life
is brilliant and God's make you in a
place where you deserve and and I'm
going to make a challenge for you. I
think you should probably make interview
to him. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Because you're going to love it. He's a
very very very very interesting guy.
>> No, I've already got that.
>> It's not because he's here with me but
and he's not in CEO of Al-Nasar because
he's my friend. No,
>> you have huge potential and everyone's
are surprised. Not
>> it's easy
>> when you are around a friend people to
say that
>> but speak with other people other ones
and they say the work that they do the
potential that they have and one of the
best qualities for me I always will put
in the top loyalty loyalty honest to
then take nothing which is not belong to
you and these people is very rare in the
world especially especially
in a football. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> And especially when he's around a lot of money
money
>> and you don't buy these people in Kur or
>> you know you don't buy these people in
Amazon. No no no no no.
>> So I'm challenge you to make intering to
you because he's a very very interesting person.
person.
>> No we've already discussed it and in
fact we're going to call it the truth
about Cristiano. The real story what he
doesn't want the world to know. He's
going he's going to go public and that
story with all of you.
>> But he can mention so many stories a
good ones because
>> I know he's actually a fascinating guy.
I know how important he's been to you
since you were 14, but he made it clear
to me that without you,
>> he wouldn't have stayed at the academy
and he may never have played football
professionally. So, it's been a
>> I just I just I just do it my best. As
you know, I'm a loyal guy too. So the
loyal guy should be next to the loyal
people. And this is what I did that I
think they're supposed to do.
>> But I was 12 years old. My mind was like
like that's
>> but I don't know how to explain. You
know sometimes in your life you do it or
you do it mistakes and you do it good
things that you not even realize that
what is correct and what is false. But I
did what I think it was correct and not
because in that moment of course in that
moment I like him but not like now. Now
now it's like part of my family. I I I
don't need I don't need to say that
>> but I'm tell you as well peers
my people around me they are fantastic
people. I'm lucky. I'm lucky. Not just
because one of the best,
>> but also I have other people on my team.
He's a special guy, but
>> I have I have a I'm lucky.
>> I'm lucky. But also the lucky to have
lucky, he brings effort.
>> You need effort. And many of the guys is
what are with me. It's the guys that are
inviting to come to be next to me.
>> It's not like the family. family, you
born with that family.
>> Friends or people who worked with you or
with you, they are different. You
sometimes you need to choose.
>> I call it the 4 a.m. club. And what I
mean is who could you call who could you
call at 4:00 a.m.
>> and they would get out of bed
>> and they come and help
>> these people.
>> I know. I know your guys and they're
fantastic, incredibly loyalty and very
protective, rightly. Um Yeah. But I
think they feel the same about you and
that's what's unusual. They have great
respect for you.
>> Yeah. What what we take from this life,
>> it's family and [clears throat] friends,
you know, relationships, >> chapters,
>> chapters,
whatever you have. If you don't have
good people around you, you're not going
to be happy. So this is what I think and
I repeat I have I'm a a lucky guy that
not because I have good family but I
also have very very very good friends
not just because they call they work for
me I call them my friends because anyway
they are a friends even if they want
other challenge I'm never going to close
their door but all they always will be
my friends so
>> for me it's it's a bless
Tell me about your fitness because people
people
>> I look good.
>> You're looking very good. Um I mean
obviously you haven't got these
abdominals. We've addressed that before.
Uh but you're working at it and I think
you're making good progress. Uh they're
pretty are they like Do you mind if I just
just
>> Yeah. It's like hitting [laughter] It's
like hitting granite. Not quite the
same. Not quite the same here, but uh
they say you've got a body of like a
28-year-old. That's what I've read. But
that's what your I wish
>> your team all think, right? Do Do you
feel that? I mean, do you feel that you
don't look 40 and you don't have the
physique of a 40-y old?
>> No, I'm not. The physically, I think I I
look much more younger, of course,
because is I still I start to do it
gym since 12, 13, 14, 15.
>> Do you go every day? Do you do something
every day?
>> No, not every day. But I I try to
maintain a consistence in my life.
>> But do you do something every day? Do
you do something physical?
>> I sleep good. I do it good routines. I
do it a good recover. I work good in the
gym. Two, three times per week of
weights. Two times per week for me is enough.
enough.
>> I burn because of football,
>> you know.
>> It's just consistence. If you have consistence,
consistence,
it's easy. Trust me.
>> Which athletes in modern history do you
look at as great examples that maybe
have inspired you in terms of the way
they take care of themselves?
>> Inspiring me.
>> Inspiring you. Yeah. I'm sparring
>> by myself.
>> No. Who have you looked at? What you think?
think?
>> A good I saw good examples in other
sports as well. For example,
>> I don't know,
basketball. LeBron James. I think we are
the same age.
>> I met him the other day. Very nice guy.
>> I have more hair than him.
>> He's You do. And he's learning golf, but
he's not very good. Now's a good time to
play him at golf. But I think it's it's
good because he's still he still play football,
football, >> basketball
>> basketball
>> and he's in a good shape.
>> Other ones Modric
Modric
>> still looking good.
>> Yeah. What's he 41 now? Modric.
>> No, he's my age. I think 39 40s.
>> Uh Jookovic.
>> Well, I was going to say so Novak is
here. He was playing in this in the six
kings thing and he said yesterday you're
one of his role models. he named you for
wanting to continue playing into his 40s
because they all thought saying look now
that S and Alarez are kind of the new
top guys will you retire he's like
actually I want to keep going I want to
keep proving to myself I can keep going
and he named you as the example so
you're inspiring him
>> feels good right to inspire the greatest
tennis player in history
>> I think it's uh it's good when you have
u others other other sports other people
they speak good about your name.
>> It means a lot and Novak is a great
example of of greatness in the sport. So
it's good. I'm I'm glad from his his words.
words.
>> Do you feel now obviously you're
probably not as quick as you were so you
know the initial you were a winger, a
flying winger and so on, you changed
your position, the way you play football
and so on. But do you think as an actual
goal scorer because your record for
Portugal recently has been insane.
You've obviously been scoring enormous
number of goals here in Saudi Arabia and
your record since 30 has got better than
it was in the previous uh period of your
career, but do you think you're a better
natural finisher now than you've ever been?
been?
>> I think I'm always been a good a top
finisher. I think probably more I'm
focused more on that because
as you mentioned
by the age you start to lost some things
and you have to improve other things and
some things that you always can improve
is mentally
>> and this is what I'm focused to be
mentally good
>> fresh because the the brain don't go
faster you not get older faster than the
brain brain
>> more you feel more physically
uh I mean professional players
>> and I am I'm adapt
you know
>> and this is but finisher finisher of
course with the the first three four
five years I'm not wasn't very very very
good I was good but not top but after 25
I think I was very similar if you ask my
teammates if you ask my friends they to
say the same probably more now I'm more
focused on that >> right
>> right
>> because I'm play I'm not I'm not
winginger anymore and I played the last
>> well I watched you score the other day
and and it's just your movement because
I think in the penalty area look I I'm
not going to tell you how to score goals
but in the penalty area a lot of it is
lastm minute movement I think by the top
strikers it's their ability to get away
from a defender very quickly in the box
should be fresh mentally right And I I
watched the way you took them and they
look they look relatively easy, right?
They don't look like that goal you just
showed me. But the movement and the
awareness and then the finish, that's
not easy. If it was, everyone would do it.
it.
>> Of course.
>> So it that's an instinctive thing, isn't it?
it?
>> I think so. Yes. Instinctive things you
learn by the time, you learn by the experience.
experience.
Uh and one thing that I think make the
difference is you can improve all the
time. Even with my hitch, you have some
points that you can improve. And this is
the bigger mistakes of the players. They
think they know everything and they
don't learn more. Uh if you see an in of
the football, the players after when
they get 30s,
>> they slow down. And I'm I'm opposite. I
scored more goals after 30s. And you can
say whatever they want
>> because most of the times the people
speak about football, they don't know
nothing. Wayne Rooney, your old
colleague, said last week that he
doesn't hate you. People have said that
he did. He loves you. He called you a
genius. He said you're much closer than
people realize. [snorts]
But he still said Messi is better.
No problem.
No problem. That's a very diplomatic
answer, Christian.
>> No, but serious. I'm not mad with that.
For me, it's okay. You can you can
choose whatever you want.
>> Do you get on well with Wayne? Do you
have a friendship with him or not
really? When we used to play we are no
good relationship
not friends like mean that kind of
friends that the relationship that I
have with these guys they they coming
one time per week or two to have a
dinner with me or lunch but we have good
relationship in the football I don't
have a friends
>> that they come in my house for a lunch
or a dinner when I mean friends I have
good relationship but friends friends
for me it's a different word
>> for mem Mhm.
>> But [snorts] the relationship was good
like Ferdinand was a friend. Yes. I
