Jose dinis aveiro biography of rory van

Portuguese soccer superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has had such an incredible career that many include him in the list of the best in history. However, all his achievements and success have been accompanied by sadness, while his childhood was not so good due to his alcoholic father, who did not experience the great successes of CR7. His father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, died in of liver disease when Ronaldo was 20, two years after joining Manchester United.

While in an interview he gave a few days ago for Piers Morgan's show, The year-old burst into tears when he was shown a video of his late father talking proudly about him. Jose Dinis Aveiro had been forced into military service and had taken part in a war to prevent Angola from becoming independent from Portugal. It was a war that was lost, while he and his comrades had experienced very difficult times.

Living conditions were very harsh, with soldiers starving when supplies arrived rotten. Worse yet, infectious diseases were rampant in the camp, so many soldiers were bedridden with malaria, chills, fevers — which had left them immobile for weeks. Since the water from the nearby river was not potable, they had lived on Angolan beer because it was so hot that the thirst was unbearable.

All this greatly affected the physical and mental condition of Aveiro, who returned home devastated after serving his country. After spending 13 months in Africa, where he had also fought in Mozambique, Aveiro returned to a changed Portugal. As the country had spent a lot of money on the war, it had suffered a major economic downturn.

There was no work in Madeira, while Ronaldo's father was poor, while his friends bought him beer in cafes, as they respected him for having been in the war. Undoubtedly, when I see Ronaldo, I remember his father. Friends bought him drinks.
