Cristiano Ronaldo is ready. The Portuguese prepares to shine when it gives the most importance to Real Madrid, and it is not a coincidence. It’s ready for that.

This has not always been the case. In the early years at the Real, the Portuguese fell more often and more frequently, due to the increase in the number of plays. In those days Ronaldo wanted everything: every race to break every possible record in every race and win the Ballon d’Or.

Often, the season was a bit boring at the beginning and Ballon d’Or reached the apogee regularly until voting was done. This was intentional; It was what he wanted more than anything.

Their priorities are still high on the list, but now a more mature Cristiano and Portugal are aware that you can not do everything. He also knows that winning team trophies are the best way to defend Ballon d’Or.

“I do not know if you played 60 or 70 games for a few years, but it does not stop,” Zidane said in a recent statement. “For him, there is a moment for the team, for everything, not to play him. It’s better this way. Of course, we talk about it for everyone’s good. ”

Ronaldo learned from these experiences. While progressing towards his 30s, his game gradually changed to more criminal boxers than explosive wings.

Although Real Madrid won the Champions League in the 2013-14 season, the season ended with physical problems and gave a break to Atletico before the final match. Despite throwing his fourth goal in the penalty area during his extended period, he could not do his best. .

Problems continued in Portugal and the World Cup, and again below normal. He trained together with ice packs on the line, his role in Brazil in 2014 diminished and he could not prevent the nation from collapsing in group stages.

They are now more positionable and allow for energy protection and short burst effects. And rarely did he leave the advocates behind, as he did with great times. However, the targets are still flying.

His fitness regime remains as intense as ever, with three to fours hours training five times a week, complemented by an ultra-strict diet and at least eight hours sleep every night in order to recover properly.

“The truth is that the fitness trainer at Antonio Pintus thinks I’m a real psychopath,” the Portuguese said last year. “I did not see anyone like me in terms of volume of work I did. I do not talk to anyone when I get into the weight room. I’m just concentrating on what I have to do. ”

However, the exhausting plan designed by Pintus is designed to help Ronaldo and the rest of the team get stronger throughout the season. And Cristiano completes his club training at home with his own sessions.
