The famous saying states that history repeats itself. For Sporting Lisbon, that repetition has already started in their youth categories, precisely the U14 team.Namely, a couple of 12-year-olds playing for the Lions’ U14 crew have recently drawn a lot of attention due to their names – Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Quaresma! While the first one is only CR7’s namesake, the latter is the son of a famous Portuguese international. Hence, the boy hasn’t only a promising name but also genes.Há um Cristiano Ronaldo e um Ricardo Quaresma nas camadas jovens do Sporting. O Quaresma é filho do ex-internacional português 😅 pic.twitter.com/UdVmvECDFb— Sporting CP Adeptos 🏆 (@Sporting_CPAdep) November 13, 2024 The older Cristiano and Quaresma Sr. have been teammates since youth categories and, considering that they both grew up at Sporting, the resemblance with today’s young duo is obvious. Moreover, CR7 and Ricardo “the dad” both debuted for the national team in 2003, only a month apart and are still very good friends.There’s just one thing about footballers Cristiano Ronaldo can’t understand after all these years…Therefore, Sporting Lisbon – and possibly Portugal – have a bright future, based on the kids’ names. However, time will tell whether Quaresma’s boy inherited his father’s immense talent and whether the young Cristiano will be able to cope with the quite heavy burden of carrying such a popular football name. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8494777##
