7 facts about Cristiano Ronaldo that you didn't know

#5 It was Ronaldo\'s mother who called him a cry-baby first

Often accused of being a play-actor on the pitch, Ronaldo's history with bad name-calling is quite a common norm these days. Rival fans taunt him in several ways; 'Cry-baby' being one of them.

But, surprisingly, it was the player's own mother who nicknamed him 'Cry-baby'. Not the supporters.

His mother, Dolores Aveiro revealed: “He was nicknamed 'Cry-baby'. He cried and got angry very easily if a teammate didn't pass him the ball, if he or someone else missed a goal or a pass, or if the team wasn't playing how he wanted.”
