The Brazilian striker of Sheriff Tiraspol Pernambuco, known in Ukraine for playing for Lviv, told how he managed to get the shirt of the English Manchester United star striker Cristiano Ronaldo after the match in the Europa League, which took place last Thursday in Chisinau.
“I have Ronaldo's T-shirt and it's priceless. And at the same time, it has an autograph of Cristiano! I remember how after the draw that took us to the Manchester United group, we in the team almost fought in an argument about who could get the Cristiano shirt.
After the final whistle of the match in Chisinau, I approached Ronaldo, congratulated him on the game and asked: "Cristiano, can I have your T-shirt?" He said: "Be calm, I'll give it to you in the locker room." He said this calmly confidently, but I was nervous because I saw how the rest of the players of our team also approached Ronaldo with a similar request. I could not stand it, and approached Ronaldo again: “Cristiano, your shirt is mine, right?”, to which he repeated so that I would not worry.
And Cristiano, in the end, kept his promise. We met near our dressing room, he gave me his T-shirt and even signed it. It was a very important day for me! Then I couldn’t even fall asleep, I was so excited by Ronaldo’s attitude towards me. It was super. I even talked to him!” Globo quoted Pernambuco as saying.
