Chapter 145
After the game, Cristiano returned to the player tunnel with his teammates.
Before they even walked in, some photographers and reporters who were crowded on the sidelines surrounded Cristiano and his group tightly.
Microphones were poked in front of Cristiano with great joy.
"Ronaldo, you have got a ticket to the Champions League quarter-finals, congratulations! The free kick was very exciting, whose idea was it?"
"One goal and one shot, two goals, congratulations Cristiano! Is this your first double in the Champions League knockout round this season? We all know that you bet on goal statistics with Sir Alex Ferguson, so maybe you can reveal what your bet is this season?"
——The reporters surrounding Cristiano all laughed in tacit understanding when they heard this. Last season, Sir Alex Ferguson broke his bet in public, but no one dared to use this as news openly.
"Ronaldo, you made an unusual celebration pose when you scored a goal. Does it have any special meaning?"
"Is that an action imitating a baby sucking on a bottle? Does it mean you are pregnant?"
"Who is the child's mother? Ronaldo, please answer the question!"
As soon as a reporter started talking, the reporters who had been reluctant to start by asking game-related questions rushed in like sharks smelling blood.
Cristiano had anticipated such a reaction from the media after the game, and he gestured for the reporters to come one by one.
"Originally I wanted to announce this news after the game when I had more time, but since everyone is so impatient here, I will announce the good news here first—" Cristiano looked at the flashing spotlights in front of him and the rows of reporters holding microphones. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he didn't care that he had dropped a heavy bomb—
"Yes, I have a child," he said, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved.
When talking about Junior, Cristiano couldn't help but look like a proud dad. He smiled brightly: "He is still very young, but he is like a little angel. I love him."
The reporters in front of him were like a big pot of boiling water. As Cristiano finished speaking, they exploded with hissing and screaming almost at the same time!
Ferguson quickly asked the accompanying club staff to come forward and separate Cristiano from the excited reporters.
We are still on the field, and there is not even a formal post-match interview yet - there are not even a few staff members who can control the field, and the security has to maintain order for the spectators to leave the field, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions among the reporters and media.
Cristiano had no intention of accepting the interview here. He planned to leave after he finished speaking to avoid making the scene chaotic.
——Even though he had already dropped a bombshell, the scene had turned into another kind of carnival.
Ferguson was afraid that the media reporters would eat his boy alive.
Seeing this, Keane and Ferdinand, who were walking beside Cristiano, immediately sandwiched Cristiano on the left and right, and quickly pulled him away from the place where the commotion occurred.
"What's going on over there?" Guti looked towards the player tunnel. They had just finished their game - even though the fans booed them loudly - and before they even got close to the player tunnel, they heard a scream that seemed to blow the roof off the other end.
Van Nistelrooy looked over there, there were crowds of people, he couldn't see anything clearly, he only knew that Beckham left first, and then the Manchester United players. Most likely the only ones who could cause such a big commotion were Manchester United's two number sevens.
"It's either David or Ronnie," he said.
Others didn't react much. They were still digesting the nightmare of being blocked in the round of 16 of the Champions League again, and didn't pay much attention to the noise on the sidelines.
It was not until they reached the player tunnel that the main players of Real Madrid heard what the crowd that had not yet dispersed were discussing.
"I said the child was Ronaldo's, but I didn't expect he would have a child so early?"
"Oh my God, who is the mother of this child? Who are the rumored partners now?"
"I remember there was a series of reports on the list of ambiguous objects? Were there any follow-up reports later?"
"Yes... The ranking has changed recently. First is my cohabiting partner Ferdinand, second is the former captain of the national team Figo, and third..."
"etc??"
"Oh yes, that's right. Most of the people he's been rumored to have dated are even of the same sex."
“…”
Ramos and his companions couldn't help but slow down their pace, prick up their ears, and listen to the gossip curiously.
That was gossip about Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just scored two goals in their goal!
Ramos listened and winked at Guti - it turns out there is a player who has more homosexual scandals than Guti. Listen, there is actually a scandal ranking list? What is that? Those English people are really creative.
Guti looked at Ramos's grimace and could guess what the other party wanted to say with his toes. He waved his fist at Ramos and told him to stop provoking him. He had just lost the knockout round and was worried about having no place to vent his anger.
After Cristiano returned to the locker room, he took a shower, then tidied his clothes and hair, applied sweet lip balm, sprinkled a little men's perfume, and made sure he looked good enough before walking away from the locker room mirror with satisfaction.
"If you don't know, you would think you are going to participate in the post-match interview after winning the Champions League final." Giggs couldn't help but complain when he saw Cristiano's exquisite dress.
Cristiano didn't care about Giggs's ridicule. He snorted and raised his mouth: "This is different. This is the first time I announced Junior's existence to the media. This is an important moment."
Junior might see the announcement video on the Internet in the future, and he didn't want Junior to see him looking disheveled while announcing this news so casually.
He has Junior, which is a great thing and deserves his serious treatment.
Besides, this was not the first time he had encountered this. In his previous life, he would be frightened by those blood-sucking reporters and didn't know how to best protect his children. He was as clumsy as any new father, but no new father would encounter the same troubles as he did.
But now everything is different.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you have a lot of questions now. No matter what you plan to ask about the children, I will only give one answer, so please remain quiet and patient and listen carefully to what I am going to say next." Cristiano sat behind a long table in the post-match interview area, with Ferguson sitting next to him.
The Scottish coach sat quietly next to Cristiano, like a reliable mountain, calming down the reporters who were eager to interview.
"As everyone guessed, the first goal of this game is a gift for my children." Cristiano pulled the microphone over and put it to his lips. His words immediately made the reporters in the audience who already knew the news couldn't help but get excited again.
Cristiano continued, looking at Ferdinand: "I am very grateful to Leo for providing accommodation and convenience for me and the child during this period, but the imaginative speculation of some journalist friends also caused a lot of trouble for my friend. Now that the child has grown up a little, I think this is an opportunity to announce this good news to all the fans who love me."
"Yes, I have a child. I will not tell you who the biological mother is because this is the privacy of me and my child. I also urge you not to over-explore or disturb my child's daily life. Otherwise, I will reserve my civil rights and file a legal warning against individual media that overly intrudes on my privacy."
"I know these words are not nice to hear, but this is what I will do. I will not say anything nice, but I will tell you what I will do, and we may be able to coexist peacefully and maintain some balance, which is good for everyone."
Mendes sat in the audience, looking at Cristiano who was speaking seriously behind the long table with a smile on his face, but the villain in his heart was screaming and jumping around wildly.
Is this a threat from Cristiano? ? He threatened at least twenty or thirty media outlets here! !
Mendes dares to say that the next day's sports newspapers will contain news that Cristiano has confirmed the labels of "bastard", "arrogant" and "bad-tempered" given to him by reporters and the media.
But Cristiano obviously doesn't care about that anymore.
The villa area where Cristiano publicly announced Ferdinand was surrounded by paparazzi. Even though Cristiano had warned in advance, these warnings were like small feathers and had no effect on the ubiquitous English paparazzi. They did not believe that Cristiano would really do anything.
However, Cristiano is an unexpected guy. He does what he says. In just one week, he sent out seven or eight copies of Mendes' lawyer's letters.
Such high efficiency quickly quieted down the paparazzi, and peace finally returned to Ferdinand's home.
But it may also be because these media paparazzi have a new target -
AC Milan's star player and Brazil's new generation captain Kaka also celebrated a goal with the same action in a Serie A match just a few days after Cristiano announced that he had a child.
"I am very happy to share this joy with everyone." Kaka smiled, "This child was born with the blessings of all those who love him. He is healthy, which is more important than anything else."
! ! !
——"Kaka! This child is yours?!"
——"When was the child born? Who is the child's mother?"
——"Excuse me, is this an unmarried child? Does this go against your religious beliefs?"
——“Kaka!”
Kaka had planned to announce Junior's existence long before Cristiano discussed with him. Junior and Luca are their children, and he can't always let Cristiano bear all the troubles alone.
He knew that soon enough, the reporters would forget about bothering Chris.
"I'm sure you must be very happy right now." Cafu squinted his eyes and looked at his national team teammates. "I think you are deliberately imitating Ronaldo. There are so many ways to announce it, but you chose the same one as him."
"Young couples should be open and honest," Shevchenko joked.
"You're right, Shevchenko. I saw some tabloids speculating some time ago that Cristiano's child was adopted by him and Ferdinand, and it was said that the two were a couple. If Kaka hadn't scored a goal before, he would have been eager to announce it immediately, right?" Inzaghi touched his chin and looked at Kaka with ill intent with a grin.
Kaka paused slightly. He had indeed seen the gossip, but it was Cristiano who shared it with him. His lover laughed so hard on the phone that she almost choked, and finally hummed and mumbled into the microphone, saying that her abdominal muscles hurt.
Kaka smiled helplessly and shook his head, ignoring the jokes of his teammates.
The paparazzi and media in Italy are much gentler than those in England. Even though the Kaka incident was so shocking, the content in sports newspapers was mostly mild. Occasionally there were a few sharp ones, but overall it was much better than Cristiano's.
The only troublesome thing is on the club's side. The club's top management is extremely childish about Kaka's appearance, which is totally detrimental to the image they have created! Damn Kaka, damn kid, they have never seen such a willful player!
Mendes was in charge of the dispute with the club. Although the issue was resolved, he was still very angry: "I dare say this club is in big trouble. They are almost throwing the word "financial deficit" on the negotiation table! Kaka, I think they are planning to put you on the transfer market for a good price while your 'commercial value' is still there."
He spoke in a sarcastic tone, made some hand gestures and rolled his eyes, which were obviously the signals given by the other party during the negotiation. The perceptive agent immediately heard the problem.
Kaka was silent for a few seconds, then told Mendes: "Then do what you should do, Jorge."
Mendes raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He had talked to Kaka about the transfer before, but he could see that the other party had deep feelings for AC Milan, so he rarely mentioned it again. He didn't expect the other party to give in.
"What club are you interested in? I will negotiate a good cooperation for you," said Mendes.
"Real Madrid. Only this, Jorge," Kaka replied, looking at the other party.
Mendes was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's a good choice. Although its performance in recent years has been suppressed by Barcelona, it has a long history and is rich."
Although he was reluctant to comment on the agent of the other club in this way, in his eyes, that person was like a sucker.
Rich and very generous.
——means that they are at least willing to offer a good transfer fee for Kaka.
What's more, Real Madrid is also seeking new changes, so perhaps they will hit it off.
Mendes nodded slightly: "I understand."
