Luis Castro, the coach of the Saudi team Al Nassr, told the press about his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Nassr coach Luis Castro admitted that he really enjoyed working with Cristiano Ronaldo.
“With Ronaldo, there’s no need to ask”
Castro took the reins of Al-Nassr at the start of the season following the departure of Rudi Garcia. He expected to hang out with a diva in the locker room, but it’s quite the opposite. To those who ask him about CR7, he assures that he is a model protégé for a coach.
“He is the world’s greatest example of success in terms of hard work, hard work and discipline,” Castro said of the former Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid striker.
“Do you think he needs me to ask him something?” No. You don’t need to demand anything from Cristiano, he does it himself. He gives us rigor, discipline, the highest standards. He always wants to win, he wants to shine in front of the whole world.”
Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League with eleven goals scored, including an exceptional free kick against Damac last Saturday. “I am very happy to be the coach of a player who, despite his age, loves football, training and his teammates,” Castro added.
The 62-year-old technician has no doubt that Ronaldo will still be fit enough to participate in the 2026 World Cup with Portugal even if the person has suggested that he could hang up his boots in 2024. “Cristiano is a man of conviction, a man of objectives. Everything can happen “.
