Cristiano Jr Shines For Portugal U16

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. has already left his mark in the global arena as he scored his first goal in the U16 national team of Portugal in a 3-0 win over Wales. The 14-year-old striker, the son of the world-renowned football star Cristiano Ronaldo, proceeds to make his own steps but still follows in the foot steps of his father.

Junior was first played in the starting line up on the left wing position. He scored, coolly, during the 42 nd minute, after a perfect pass by Brazilian-born player Carlos Moita, who is a youth player at Braga, putting Portugal on top. He played until the 62nd minute when he was replaced, and Rafael Cabral scored two more goals to make the victory a decisive one.

This look follows shortly after the U16S debut of Junior this week, where he got on briefly as a substitute. He was a former U15s player who had scored two goals in four matches in the national team of Portugal. International media and national scouts have already taken interest in his rapid development and it is already a good sign of a promising future of the young talent.

Now, Cristiano Junior takes part in the youth Al Nassr team of Saudi Arabia in the training set up of his father. Before joining Al Nassr, he trained his talent in the youth academies of Juventus and Manchester United, the exact career footsteps taken by Cristiano Ronaldo in his European tour.

Junior is set to have a bright future as his performances have shown that he has the potential to achieve success in the global sphere and his fame is on the rise. The fans and football lovers are already eager to see whether or not the young forward would be able to make it to the heights of one of the greatest footballers of all time. In the meantime, his first goal gives us a clue of the potential, calmness and hard work which may shape the future of the Portuguese football.
