During his teenage days with Sporting Lisbon, young Cristiano used to brag a lot

Just when you thought you'd heard them all, new stories about Cristiano Ronaldo and his rather unique personality arise on the shore. And this one is quite laughable, indeed.

Manchester United winger's former teammate back from the Sporting Lisbon days, Vitali Kutuzov, shared his memories of then-teenager Cristiano. According to Kutuzov, CR7 did like to brag and was proud of his earnings at the time, but not in some negative manner. Who could blame him...

"On many occasions, we shared a room. I remember when he got his first car, a Mercedes that he didn't even know how to drive. But his satisfaction of arriving in the field with a car he bought was incredible."

Kutuzov believes that the Portuguese star has changed his way of playing:

"Now he is a different player: at that time, he was more of a dribbler, and today Cristiano is complete and contributes in every way, " concluded he.
