Since "Big Whistle" Ronaldo started his soccer career with lettuce, who would have thought that now as a team owner, he would still be able to "
score twice in a row
"! This is a reference to his Coats Road team, which locked up promotion seven rounds ahead of schedule after beating Wasco 3-0 in the Barclays Premier League (BPL) on Thursday (22nd). This follows the promotion of his Juaradulet to the
La Liga
After that, another team was promoted to the local top flight, a real double whammy.
Ronaldo, who has been the owner of Valladolid for a long time, announced last year that he had invested R$400 million (about HK$548 million) to acquire 90% of the shares of Coquille, officially becoming the helmsman of the Brazilian club that he had played for in the past. After the acquisition was completed earlier this year, Coats Road has been in great form, with 20 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses in 31 rounds of the Brazilian Bundesliga, leading the way with 68 points and a 23-point gap to the fifth-placed team, which managed to get promoted with only seven rounds remaining.
Ronaldo himself joined in the celebrations, saying: "The fans are the real heroes, who for three years have lived in the shadow of the team's demise. When I bought Coats Road, I received great support from the fans. Even when I had to make some tough decisions, they understood and supported me. For the fans, this success is both a reward and a relief."
