London local time on September 6, 2005, Ronaldo's father, Dinis Abello, died at the age of 51 due to severe liver disease caused by long-term alcoholism. When Dinis Abello passed away, Ronaldo He is preparing with the national team in Moscow for the World Cup qualifying match against Russia for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Now 10 years have passed, and Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for the World Cup preliminaries with Portugal again. At this juncture, Cristiano Ronaldo misses his father beyond words. Ronaldo's father, Dinis Abello, was a gardener and equipmentman for Andorinha on the island of Madeira. Ronaldo's full name is actually Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, and "Ronaldo" actually comes from the "Ronald" in the name of US President Ronald Reagan, who is the idol of Ronaldo's father. Dinis Abello was a soldier who joined the army with his son Dinis Aveiro. Aveiro has a son who is famous all over the world - Cristiano Ronaldo. Martins and Aveiro grew up together. On September 4, 1974, the two of them flew to Africa and then traveled across Angola on an old-fashioned train. The train moved so slowly that they could often get off the train and smoke, then still jog to catch up with the slow-moving train. After getting off the train, Martins and Aveiro took a truck to Mosuma, the border with Zambia, where they found their new home in the sweltering African savannah. For Martins and Aveiro, two Portuguese people who grew up by the sea, black Africa gave them a very mysterious and terrifying feeling. After the war, Martins and Aveiro both returned to their native Madeira, where they have lived ever since. Aveiro occasionally does odd jobs, but he is an alcoholic. Whenever he is short of money, he can only count on the help of his friends to tide him over. After Ronaldo joined Manchester United and became famous, Aveiro even used the money from selling his son's Manchester United jersey to buy alcohol. But long before that, he had repeatedly emphasized to his friends, including Martins, that his son could realize all the dreams that he had not been able to realize: "My son will become the number one star in the world." However, Aveiro's words often brought him ridicule and blank looks from others. Martins recalled: "We all called Aveiro *** at the time, but from the beginning to the end he firmly believed that what he said could become reality." Such stories about superstars often end with the result of a loving father and a filial son. . The reason why superstars are great is often the result of comparing themselves with others. People will always deliberately elevate someone while deliberately suppressing others. This is the case in Ronaldo's latest autobiographical documentary. There is a photo of Ronaldo sitting at home having breakfast with his son. There is also a man who looks dejected. That person is Ronaldo's late father. Everyone knows that Ronaldo's father, Aveiro, once went to Africa to fight an unjust war. At that time, the Portuguese colony of Angola was undergoing a national liberation war, and Aveiro became a member of the Portuguese expedition to Africa. However, Portugal did not become the victor in that war, and the country failed to retain its last colony. Ronaldo's documentary made it clear that after returning to Portugal from Africa, Aveiro underwent a huge transformation. In fact, he continued to drink alcohol until his death and had a tense relationship with Ronaldo. The documentary also revealed that Aveiro never hit his children, but he always hit his wife, Ronaldo's mother.

When Aveiro suffered from liver failure, Ronaldo hired a private plane to take his father to the UK for treatment, but it was too late. In any case, Cristiano Ronaldo is Aveiro's best son. Generally speaking, sons are often more important than alcohol. Perhaps Ronaldo has been trying to prove something to his father, trying to prove to him how good he is. So far, the documentary that best expresses Ronaldo's feelings is still that documentary. Since then, he has rarely answered questions in this regard in interviews. Ronaldo's agent declined to answer ESPN's questions, while his family is asking for a fee to be interviewed. In that documentary, Aveiro also appeared in the penultimate scene, when he was in front of a dilapidated house, watching Ronaldo play football as a child; and the last scene cut back to reality, with the full glory of the scene During this period, Ronaldo had a meticulous hairstyle and a signature smile. It seemed that he still hoped that his father could see his current glory. According to the documentary, Ronaldo never really understood his father, but there were other veterans in his hometown of Madeira who understood Aveiro. Whenever Cristiano Ronaldo appears on the TV screen, these old friends will think of Aveiro, they are both proud and sad. They watched Portugal's first match of the European Cup group stage against Iceland and answered many questions that Ronaldo had never been asked. In fact, when Cristiano Ronaldo's father Aveiro took a boat to Africa, the war was already over. This was the most important reason why he was able to survive in the end. While Aveiro was still receiving military training as a new recruit, some young Portuguese officers did not want to participate in a war with no chance of winning. They chose to openly oppose the military dictatorship and eventually established a democratic regime. Therefore, after the collapse of the Portuguese Army on April 25, 1974, the war in Angola had basically come to an end. When the 4910th Battalion landed in Africa and began its five-month sweltering experience, it was clear to everyone that Portugal had lost the war. The soldiers recruited from the Madeira Islands were among the last Portuguese troops to arrive in Africa. They successfully handed over the former Portuguese colonies to the local opposition forces. Aveiro, together with other soldiers from Madeira, first arrived in Luso by train and then took trucks to the frontline headquarters. During this journey, they had to pass through the forward positions of multiple forces, experience fighting between different opposition forces, and at the same time escort food and supplies along mine-ridden roads. However, these stories about Aveiro's mental shock are not accurate. There is another version of the story that among the more than 500 people in that army, the general only died three people, and none of them were due to fighting. Died: Among these three people, one died of illness, one died of an accident, and the other died of a fight with a local gang. Aveiro's friend Martins recalled: "It was not really a war, and we were not mentally prepared to go to the battlefield. Frankly speaking, in the unit I was in, I don't think anyone was "I shot at the enemy." For most of Martins' comrades, the harsh living environment is their biggest difficulty. Many of them suffer from malaria, and many suffer from chills, trembling or fever. Being bedridden, the army did not even make any progress for three weeks. What was even worse was that the food carried by the army began to rot and deteriorate. As a comrade of Martins and Aveiro at the time, soldier José Manuel Coelho of the 2nd Company recalled: "We were in a famine. Many times, each of us could only get a little bit of bread." Fortunately, traveling with that unit was a gasoline-fueled refrigerated truck carrying a large amount of cold beer, which almost became the only source of food for Aveiro, Martins, Coelho and their comrades. enjoy. Coelho recalled: “The weather in Africa was so hot that the water there was lukewarm and did not quench our thirst at all. At that time, beer was our best friend, and we had Angola’s Cuca beer. Before, we At one point, river water was diverted into the cistern, but it turned out that those efforts were in vain because we didn't drink the water at all and everyone quenched their thirst with beer. And, as others told us at the time. They said you would get sick if you drank the water there. We only used the water in the reservoir to bathe, cook, and wash clothes. To this day, whenever I drink beer, I still think of Angola.

"At that time, almost everyone believed that Aveiro's 3rd Company was in the worst situation because they received almost no logistical supplies. But the fact is that there are still 3rd Company soldiers who miss their life back then. The barracks of the 3rd Company are all It was a metal roof, and the nearby village was located on the bank of a large river. If they wanted to, the 3rd Company could be stationed there for a long time. Martins recalled: "Actually, we were in a good situation at the time because we had everything. There is enough food without cooking. If we want to eat meat, we can also go hunting. No one ever bothered us. At that time we could even cook steaks and sometimes give them to the locals. There we played football, poker, singing and smoking. I even gained weight during those days because we didn’t have to do anything but eat and sleep. Martins even kept a photo of himself and Aveiro, in which they were both leaning on a car as they waited to be deported home in an African town. Martins was wearing a t-shirt He wears a collared shirt and has long hair and beard, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s father, Aveiro, wears a camouflage shirt and looks a bit serious and awkward. Friends are reluctant to talk about Aveiro’s family affairs and sometimes seek for him to abuse violence at home. Some excuses. At that time, Aveiro still held the wedding even though he knew that he would go to Angola. Later, he was tortured in Africa because in Africa, Portuguese soldiers could only receive messages from their hometown once a month. Whenever they heard the sound of the helicopter's propeller, they expected to receive a letter from home. Once, the car driven by Aveiro and several soldiers got stuck in the swamp, and three of them stayed in the car. , Others went out to seek help. In the dark night in Africa, the soldiers felt unprecedentedly lonely. They gathered together to smoke until sunrise. For Aveiro, that was the time when he was serving in Africa. His most unforgettable experience was on October 8, 1975, 13 months after leaving home, when Aveiro and Martins arrived on the beach of Madeira on the ship Niassa. At that time, there were even excited soldiers jumping. Swimming into the sea towards his home, Aveiro returned to a declining country. For the past 10 years, Portugal's arsenals had been working day and night to make ends meet. According to Martins, what hit Aveiro was definitely not the suffering he experienced in Africa, but the terrible current situation in his country, because after returning home, he needed to reshape his own life. For a while, Aveiro even made it clear to Martins that he missed his time in Africa because everything there was so simple: eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired. , Aveiro had to find a job, Coelho recalled: “There were no decent jobs. We are all outcasts from society, because the soldiers who retired after the war had neither money nor jobs. Of course, every time I see Cristiano Ronaldo, I think of his father, Aveiro. Aveiro's life at the time was extremely difficult. He was often hungry because he would drink whenever possible. Friends occasionally bought him drinks, but he himself was penniless and always had little to eat. "At that time, Aveiro often went to a local football club, where he did some odd jobs, sorted out his game clothes, and then drank in a nearby small bar. At that time, it seemed impossible for Aveiro to become a superstar. In fact, when Ronaldo was a child, he was already aware of people's views on his father. Ronaldo's career started at the football club where his father often went. At the age of 12, he went to Sporting Lisbon for training alone, where he began his path to glory. Now, whenever Ronaldo talks about Aveiro, he admits that his father is domestically violent and alcoholic. He insists that the reason why his father failed so much is because the war brought a shadow to his life. Of course, Aveiro's life experience must be determined by certain factors within himself; and Ronaldo can gain. Such brilliant professional achievements also came from some inner temperament. Later, Aveiro lost contact with many of his old comrades.

When Aveiro was serving in Africa, Antonio Luis was a comrade in the 1st company of his battalion. He recalled: "I had not seen Aveiro for a long time, when his son became famous in England. After that, I met him once in the city center. We talked a lot about football in the coffee shop and he was extremely proud of what Ronaldo had achieved.” Two years later, on September 6, 2005, Aveiro passed away. Aveiro died in London at the age of 52. Cristiano Ronaldo took care of him when he was dying. At that time, Ronaldo did everything he could, but he still failed to save his father's life. Aveiro's death once became the focus of British media attention. At that time, Manchester United fans and football experts believed that Ronaldo might miss a game because of this. Martins did not attend Aveiro's funeral. Although Aveiro's funeral was large-scale, including government officials and Manchester United club representatives, Martins did not go there. In his opinion, it did not belong there for a veteran like him. In fact, many people who attended the funeral did not come to see off Aveiro, the sick veteran, but came for Ronaldo. As the saying goes, "Love the house and the bird", this is the truth. About a week and a half ago, Madeira celebrated its annual Veterans Club Day, a day when the veterans gathered around the table for lunch and got themselves drunk. The club is housed in a centuries-old building that houses a church, monuments and a small bar. From the outside, the red-roofed building is located on a grassy hill, with the rippling blue sea below. It is a building that the people of Madeira are quite proud of. But there, foreign tourists wanted to know who Ronaldo's father was, which made retired Bernardino Lauliano very angry. Because in his view, all the soldiers who went to war for Portugal, all the soldiers who returned home from Africa, and those who spent decades helping the country rebuild its economy, should be helped and recognized. Lauliano hopes to convey this message to Ronaldo: As a wealthy football superstar, perhaps Ronaldo should help those who have experienced similar experiences to his father. He can also save the lives of many people. Lauliano said: "The door is always open for Ronaldo, as long as he wants. Ronaldo can get in touch with us, and if that is the case, it will be our honor and pride. Here, Ronaldo can find many of his father's Acquaintances or friends, because we have known his father’s name for many years, and we will never forget him. In fact, we will not forget all the people who have suffered for this country.”
