Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo showed his brand new look during Portugal's 1-0 victory against Croatia in a friendly match played in Geneva, Switzerland. The only goal of the game was made by the star of Real Madrid.
Before the match, the Portuguese star used his Twitter account to unveil his new style. He published a photo on the social media network where he appeared with his partner, Hugo Almeida.
Ronaldo's new look is a haircut that includes blond locks, plus thick-framed "hipster" glasses. Some people said the new hairdo is curiously similar to the one that characterizes the talented Brazilian striker Neymar.
The Real Madrid star likes to follow fashion and the latest trend is hipster style, so the player knew what he had to do. It's more than likely that clothing companies start taking note of this change and begin to promote this new look.
It's important to remember that the Portuguese is not only a talented football player, but also a model for the world's biggest brands. His new look caused all kinds of reactions among his female fans, but most approved the new hairstyle.
Curiously enough, the change was announced just days after Lionel Messi, arch rival of the Real Madrid striker, also presented a new image. The Argentinean star published a photo in his social networks on which he appeared with a new haircut.
For now, the new look seems to bring more luck to the Portuguese star, who led his team to two consecutive victories in a few days—first against Russia, in the qualifying for the 2014 World Cup Brazil, and then in a friendly match against Croatia.
These past victories will make him forget some of the controversy over his uncertain future at Real Madrid. The Spanish club is going through a strong confrontation between the coach Mourinho and the highest figures of the team.
Some British media, including newspaper The Sun, ensure that Manchester United would be willing to pay 75 million euros in order to assure the return of the player, considering the rumors of Ronaldo not extending his contract with the Spanish.
However, the number doesn't reach the expectations of the 'merengue' team, as Real Madrid paid 96 million euros for the Portuguese four seasons ago, precisely to Manchester United. And at this time, Ronaldo has significantly increased his talent, both on and off the field.
