All of the 3 Portuguese stars are wearing a number 7 shirt. Figo for both Portugal and Inter Milan, Quaresma for Porto and Ronaldo for Manchester United.

Besides that, Quaresma’s Portugal shirt number is often 27, while Ronaldo basically made the number 17 jersey his own.

Cristiano Ronaldo won a £400 bet last season with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson when he netted 17 times, beating his 15-goal target.

According to The Sun, the Portuguese winger will make a cheeky bet with Fergie for the new season… he will bet on his hair that he could score 20 Premier League goals.

“I’ll shave my hair off if I don’t score 20 Premier League goals — you shave your hair off if I do.” A Reds source revealed: “Ronaldo has been joking with pals he will be able to give the gaffer serious hairdryer treatment.

“Ronny is really confident. He spends a lot of time on his hair so wouldn’t put it at risk lightly.”

Doubt that it will happen though.

Cristiano Ronaldo claims he is not showing off when he utilises his array of trickery, merely satisfying his own lifelong addiction to football.

Before befuddling opponents with his sorcery, as he invariably does, the 21-year-old winger puts on a bewitching pre-match show as he runs through his repertoire of tricks and flicks.

“I cannot help caressing the ball or enjoying juggling.

“I used to do it when I played in the street, I kept on doing it all throughout my training and I still do it now. And I will keep on doing it.

“This is the real Ronaldo. I believe that when people see me on the pitch playing with the ball before the beginning of the warm-up, they may be tempted to think that this is nothing but a charm offensive or showing off.

“If this is what you think then you are wrong, because I do it naturally. Before matches, both for the club and when I play for Portugal, I always have the same routine.”
