On the evening of July 9, Real Madrid's board of directors unanimously appointed Ronaldo as the club's third captain. This position previously belonged to Pepe, but since the Portuguese centre-back moved to Besiktas, this position has been left open.
Thus, Ronaldo will now have the same position as Marcelo (considered as the vice-captain) and under captain Sergio Ramos. Having the vice-captain position will help Ronaldo have more say in meetings of the first team and the club's board of directors, such as bonuses, personnel and proposal of ideas and aspirations.
Before Ronaldo was made the 3rd captain, he held the position of 4th captain. With this new arrangement, the person taking on the position of the 4th captain for Ronaldo is Karim Benzema. Becoming the third captain will help Ronaldo gradually move towards becoming captain every time Ramos is absent, and this is in line with the wish of an ambitious person like Ronaldo.
After the tax evasion suspectation was somewhat eased by the intervention of President Perez, good news continuously came to Ronaldo when he had 2 more twin children and was " promotional and elevated" at the club. This move by "father" Perez is considered timely because before the storm of tax evasion, Ronaldo had received a "hiding" of no less than 100 million pounds from both PSG and M.U.
In terms of achievements and brand, Ronaldo is still the most successful player in the world, and Perez and Real Madrid understand that if he is lost, the club will suffer a huge loss.
