Ronaldo's reaction when his son sat on the bench

Ronaldo was on the bench for his Portugal U15 debut.

"Congratulations son on your debut for the Portugal U15 team. I'm so proud of you," Cristiano Ronaldo shared on his personal page.

Even though his son had to sit on the bench, Ronaldo still expressed his pride because this was an important milestone in Ronaldo Jr.'s career. Before becoming a superstar, Ronaldo also started his career with the Portuguese U15 team in 2001. After just over 2 years, he made great strides and was called up to the national team at the age of 18.

Despite having a father who is a football superstar, a living legend of Portuguese football, Ronaldo Jr. was not favored when joining the youth team. In the friendly match against Japan on May 13, the eldest son of Ronaldo had to sit on the bench and only played for about 20 minutes.

When entering the field, Ronaldo JR was not allowed to play in his preferred position as an attacking midfielder or striker. The 14-year-old talent was arranged to play as a left winger. Ronaldo Jr often had to retreat deep to defend and did not have many opportunities to attack.

During his time on the pitch, Cristiano's son did not have a shot. However, he completed the task of blocking the right wing attacks of Japan U15.
