The touching story behind Cristiano Ronaldo's new haircut

If you saw the game between Portugal and USA last night, you would have noticed World best footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo’s new funky haircut. He might not have tossed the net yet but the Real Madrid talisman is making headlines at the moment.

The haircut initially attracted a lot of negative comments from fans who claimed he should focus on registering his name in the World Cup score-sheet rather than enriching barbers but in actual fact it was a tribute to a cancer patient.

According to reports, the zig-zag shaved into the Portuguese’s hair is to match the scar of a young fan, Erik Ortiz Cruz who recently had his brain tumor removed. Ronaldo actually paid £50,000 for his surgery. He might be a little selfish on pitch, but he is one thing off pitch, Selfless. And that’s not the first time he’ll be footing patients’ hospital bills. You’ve got to respect him for that seeming little act.

Cristiano Ronaldo hits back at Wayne Rooney, "One player is not a team."

Don’t get it wrong. This has nothing to do with Portugal’s defeat yesterday. It all started during an interview with Manchester United star, Wayne Rooney on his preparations for the World Cup. He stated that unlike his former team mate Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s not driven by personal glory, rather he is after team success.

”I’m not a player who needs a legacy like Cristiano, he has to have that. I’m more about winning as a team. You can see how he is. He wants his moments. It’s more important for me to win trophies as a team. I’ve won PFA Player of the Year, which is nowhere near as good as winning a trophy with Manchester United. I’ve not won anything this year, so hopefully I can do that now.”

Responding to his comments, the Portugal player said he’s has nothing to show anyone. “Look at my statistics and my CV – I have nothing to prove. My career has been great so far and I just want that to continue. But I believe that one player is not a team. I am here to help the team. I am an additional player and I can make a difference, but I can’t carry the team on my back.” He added.

"I don't want him to face Ghana". Meet the Ghanaian witch doctor who claims he's responsible for C Ronaldo's knee injury.

I laughed for minutes when I saw this story. Like seriously? But then, you can’t under-estimate the power of charms. Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a prominent Ghanaian witch doctor has claimed responsiblity for Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury. He actually predicted in February that the former Manchester United player would not participate in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Nana whose name means “Devil of Wednesday” said the idea is to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo from facing the black stars when they meet Portugal in their final match of Group G in Brasilia on 26 June. Meanwhile the Portuguese might be ruled out of the forthcoming World Cup tournament after he was diagnosed with tendonitis in his left kneecap and a muscle problem in his left thigh. Could this be real or a coincidence?

Nana told presenters at Angel FM, Kumasi that he got leaves and some concoctions and placed it around the image and caricature of the former World best footballer.

“I know what Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury is about, I’m working on him. I said it four months ago, that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him out of the World Cup, or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana, and the best thing I can do is to keep him out through injury. I am very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called ‘Kahwiri Kapam. This injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the injury, because it is spiritual. Today, it is his knee, tomorrow it is his thigh, next day, and it is something else.”
