Antonio Jesus García González, also known as simply Toñito, has been one of Cristiano Ronaldo's closest friends and teammates, when the Portuguese was still giving his first steps as a professional football player, in Sporting CP. Now being 34-years old and having hung up the boots 2 seasons ago, Toñito talked with the Spanish newspaper "As" and remembered some of the moments he lived with Cristiano Ronaldo. Besides comparing Cristiano Ronaldo to Michael Jordan, the Spanish midfielder also showed he preserves his caracteristic good sense of humor when he recapped Cristiano Ronaldo's 1st goal as a professional football player. We will dig into that below...
Toñito started his professional career in 1995, on his hometown, Tenerife. Two years later, he would come to Portugal where he has played in several clubs, incluing Sporting CP between 1999-2001 and 2002-2004. It has been precisely in the 2002/03 season that Toñito met Cristiano Ronaldo and back then, the two players were often seen together both in and off the pitches. With 34-years and already retired from football, Toñito is now a football coordinator in Tenerife, but he surely doesn't forget those great memories he has from the moments he spent with Ronaldo.
