For a tea party to succeed at EURO, its members must have a closer relationship than the simple tea party spirit. For Portuguese people, it is fortunate to have the wonderful friendship between Ronaldo and Pepe.
The inaugural CR7 Meet Pepe happened in the spring of 2002. Just eighteen years old, YoŅÿg Roÿaldo began a career in sports at the age of eighteen. He was paired with a tall, stocky girl who had just come to the court for a trial. It is Pepe.
Just a year after leaving his home country of Brazil to play football in Europe on the island of Madeira, Haiteig was introduced to Pepe when he went there to try his hand at handball. Fortunately, he got to meet Ralph, a native Madeira. “Make a lot of effort, and we will succeed,” Rolando reminded Pepe.
Pepe was given the chance to visit Brazil, but in the end, he decided to fight in the location where he started his career. Perhaps Pepe boldly decided to switch up the colors of his shirt because of CR7 as well.
Players from Brazil who represent Portugal, such as Pepe and before that Deco, are not always welcomed. When Figo finished his interview, he said, “Wherever you were, you should play for the local teaм there.”
However, Ronaldo, a person who experienced discrimination when he moved from Madeira to Lisbon to pursue his dream of becoming an eco-football player, has never carried that prejudice with him. As long as they have the ability and desire, he welcomes everyone.
Even though Pepe was officially a Portuguese player until recently, he and Ronaldo have played more than 300 matches together at both official and private tennis courts. In addition, the practice field was home to numerous intense collisions.
Playing in two opposing positions, Pepe and Ronaldo both make the same mistakes and always try to establish themselves as the best. However, when it comes to official patches, both parties feel uncomfortable when they stand on the same side as before.
Pepe has never stopped saying that CR7 is the greatest striker the world has ever seen, even after forcing Ronaldo to lie on the field during training sessions.
Five years ago, Ronaldo was the most popular star in Portugal during the fairy tale era. However, in the decisive moment, when CR7 was destroyed and had to leave the field early in the first half, Pepe effectively took over as the team’s leader.
Playing first, he calmly repelled every attack from the French team to force overtime, during which Eder narrowly missed a shot from outside the penalty area. The best evidence of Pepe’s infallibility is the Best Player of the Final award.
With his closest friend Pepe, Ralph is always cheerful despite their difficult times. They have won innumerable trophies together. In 2019, CR7 gave Pepe ownership of an 8-hectare property, including a docking area for yachts and a helicopter pad.
For this property, Pepe “oly” had to pay 2.5 million euros. For just a few years ago, Ronaldo sold 4 million eggs at a very good price. Moreover, Roaldo’s beloved cat was faмed. A blatant testament to their friendship, Pepe!
