A reporter asked Cristiano Ronaldo: Cristiano why does your mother still live with you? Why not build her a house? Cristiano Ronaldo: "My mother raised me by sacrificing her life for me. She

 Cristiano Ronaldo, leaning back in his chair, a slight smirk playing on his lips, replied with a twinkle in his eye: "My mother raised me by sacrificing her life for me. She worked tirelessly, cleaned houses, did laundry, ironed clothes, and even went without food just so I could eat. She endured everything for me. So, why would I build her a house? She is the house! She runs the house! If I built her a house, who would make my breakfast? Who would iron my training kit? Who would tell me I need to clean my room, even though I'm a multi-millionaire global superstar?"

The reporter, who had expected a heartwarming tale of filial devotion, blinked in surprise. "So… she still tells you to clean your room?" he stammered, clearly picturing the legendary footballer, post-Champions League final, being told to pick up his socks.

"Absolutely!" Ronaldo declared, nodding emphatically. "Just last week, after I scored that hat-trick, she told me I'd left my muddy boots in the hallway. Said if I wanted to play for Portugal, I needed to learn some discipline at home first!"

He then leaned in conspiratorially, lowering his voice. "And don't even get me started on her pre-match superstitions. If I don't wear the exact socks she laid out, or if I don't eat her special chicken soup two hours before kickoff, she's convinced I'll have a bad game. Once, I tried to sneak in a pizza, and she confiscated my PlayStation for a week! Said it was 'distracting my focus from proper nutrition and tidiness.'"

The reporter scribbled furiously, a wide grin spreading across his face. This was far better than any generic 'my mother is my hero' quote.

"So, in short," Ronaldo concluded, spreading his hands wide, "building her a separate house would be logistical madness. Plus," he added, a mischievous glint in his eye, "who else is going to keep me humble? My agent certainly won't, and my fans only tell me I'm the greatest. My mother? She'll just tell me I forgot to take out the rubbish." He then winked, leaving the reporter to imagine the football icon being scolded for household chores, a truly priceless image.
