Cristiano Ronaldo is work, discipline … and sometimes stories that seem almost unreal. This is happening at Manchester United, and it was Patrice Evra who told it on RMC Sport a few years ago.
It all starts with a classic invitation: “Come and eat at home”offers CR7 to his teammate at the time. Evra already imagines a generous lunch with good dishes, a dessert and a blow to drink.
Error.
On the table: grilled chicken, salad … and that's it. No bread, no sauce, no dessert. As soon as the meal is over, Cristiano gets up, picks up the plates … and continues with an exercise session in his living room. Pumps, abs, sheathing. As if it was the logical continuation of the meal. And to follow the cadence of the Portuguese legend in terms of bodybuilding, you have to get up early …
And he plays football until evening after!
“Come on, come and train!” »» he says to Evra, who doesn't even know if he has to laugh or cry. And it's not over: CR7 then goes out in the garden to play ball … again and again, until nightfall.
No television, no nap, no break. Just the obsession to get better, again and again. A âbanalâ day for Ronaldo, who has just scored a hat -trick at 40 in Saudi Arabia … but a memory engraved for life for Evra.
We do not know if the former Mancunian has already “invited to eat” his Al-Nassr partners to inspire them …
