Christaino Ronaldo
One of football’s most experienced fitness coaches has described just how deep Cristiano Ronaldo’s obsession with fitness goes.
Giovanni Mauri, who has been a long-time sidekick to Carlo Ancelotti and worked with Ronaldo for two years at Real Madrid, said all young players would benefit from watching how he trains.
“Cristiano is a phenomenon and a elite level athlete,” Mauri, whose last job was Bayern Munich, told Tuttosport. “He always trains to the best possible level because his way of working is comprised of three things: dedication, competitiveness and a positive attitude.
“To improve football you would need to bring every young player to watch his training sessions. He does everything with a smile and not against his will unlike certain kids even in youth ranks.
“We are talking about a world class player who, when we returned home at 2a.m. from a Champions League away match would not jet off home in his car. No, he would stop at the training centre for at least an hour for various recovery exercises and cryotherapy.
“As well as living a healthy life, he has a total dedication for physical recovery.”
