I was already halfway through and then they caught me, so I screamed as loud as I could 'Ronaldwow', and he turned around and saw me, and told them to leave me. I asked him to come, and he came. I was in the market and I started crying, I told him 'I can The shirt? Please, I'm your fan's, and he just said - 'Are you okay?' ... When my dad saw him take off the shirt and give it to me, he was shocked. I said to myself, 'This is a dream come true, it's finally come true "This is probably the last time I will see him play."
