"For example, I can give you a small impression. My oldest child is going to be 12 years old soon and he asks me every time, 'Daddy, can I have a phone, can I have a phone, can I have a phone.'"
"I say to him, 'Cristiano, you have time.' I know as well that this young generation are one step ahead of their age so I agree that we have to take advantage of that but not to be obsessed about technology.
"Give them but with a period of time, not give them all the time. I think that’s the main point here.
"I ask him to wait for the future. One day, Junior asked me for an iPhone to call me but I told him no.
"If he wants to call me he should through his grandmother. I want to transmit to my son the idea that it's not easy getting anything he wants. Education is the best thing I could give him."
