You wouldn't be blamed if you thought that the press only printed bad things about Cristiano Ronaldo but he has done something fantastic for one teenager.
Ronaldo has rescued a young goalkeepers career by paying his medical bills.
Joao Santos is an 18-year-old goalie with Amora in Portugal and he suffered a cruciate ligament injury. Santos knew Ronaldo when Ronaldo was a youngster at Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo gave Santos the boots from his debut with Lisbon.
Santos was going to sell those boots in an auction, when Ronaldo heard about this, he offered to pay the bills.
So far Ronaldo has paid a £4,000 bill for the operation, he is also paying out £200 a week for Santos’ rehabilitation sessions.
A pal of Santos said: “Joao knew Cristiano when he was a very junior player at Sporting and was given the first pair of boots that Ronaldo wore on his debut.
“Joao was going to sell the boots to raise the money but Cristiano wouldn’t let him.
“Ronaldo’s action makes the nation feel very proud of him.”
It is really nice to see Ronaldo in the papers for a good thing.
