■About Ronaldo

"We all know that he is a great player, but we don't know him personally. Yes, he is one of the players on my team. In the game, he was the second fastest player on the team and the third most sprinter. This physical condition is simply extraordinary. As a person, he is completely different from his image on the pitch. He is a very smart person. He does not only know how to play football, but his knowledge goes far beyond football. "

" Ronaldo knows himself and his body very well. When we do high-intensity stuff in training and he reaches his limit, he still handles himself so well that he almost never gets hurt. . He knows how to manage his life outside of football. People simply cannot imagine his influence in the world. He is a symbol of Portugal. No matter where he goes, people are reluctant to leave there, there are always hundreds of fans surrounding him. Most of his die-hard supporters are younger than 30 years old. "
