In these moments, friends become fundamental. Near and far. And Merih Demiral has one with whom she shares every day. Workouts and lunches, trips and matches. But not just anyone: in these first months in black and white the turkish defender has created a particular relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. True and sincere friendship. “Come back stronger” wrote Cristiano on a story Instagram after yesterday’s bad injury suffered by the Turkish defender (HERE the details).
THE BACKGROUND – A story with a sentence and a hug that represents the friendship between the two. Born almost by chance. So: “Oh, a Turk who speaks Portuguese” and down laughter. CR7 was surprised when he heard Demiral speak his own language with Cancelo before the full-back went to Manchester City. All true. And Portuguese has become the official language between the two. Jokes but also advice, to improve near the strongest player in the world. And as Demiral shouted when in the home victory against Cagliari the speaker announced Cristiano: “RO-NAL-DO” screamed Merih. He wanted to do it again today after the results of the medical tests. Scream in anger at that damned crusader. The second part of the season will be uphill for the Turkish defender, but with a friend like Ronaldo close it’s all easier.
