Do you, a young footballer at the beginning of your career, a candidate to become a star according to your self-assessment and the analysis of those who watch you play, want to try to become a Cristiano Ronaldo? Not in the technical part, which is very peculiar to each person, but in the physical part? You can try.
The Portuguese, one of the best players in Breton sport, broke the 40-year barrier admirably. As? Discipline and dedication were essential. Hard training, day by day, adequate rest, day by day. One of the secrets is this balance between effort and rest.
There is another factor: diet. According to what was explained by Giorgio Barone, the chef who was responsible for the attacker’s menu, the policy followed by CR7 is strict. The Italian, in an interview with the Covers website, gave previously unknown details (at least to me) about the star’s eating routine.
For starters, no milk. This is not a prohibition, but an option, based on what is learned from zoology. Says Barone that “humans are the only animals that drink other animals’ milk. No other animal drinks milk after three months. It’s against nature.”
Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo does not consume milk or dairy products. The nutrients contained in them are absorbed via other sources, such as vegetables and fish. So, young football player, if you want to follow the CR7 style to the letter, give up the milk. And, with it, chocolate milk.
Cristiano Ronaldo does not eat sugar. Industrialized sweets and ice cream? Vetoed. Stuffed biscuit? Vetoed. Refrigerator? Vetoed. Juice box? Vetoed. Among savory foods, there are several prohibitions, which include white rice and anything containing flour (pasta, bread),: hamburgers, french fries, snacks, nuggets, hot dogs, pizza.
“He doesn’t eat junk food. Ever,” says Barone. “Sugar, not even in coffee. Sugar is poison for the body.” These determinations”, he says, are not temporary restrictions, but “habits for life”.
About to go to his sixth World Cup, the number 7 from Portugal and Al Nassr (Saudi Arabia) regularly consumes fruits (especially avocado, which contains good fats, potassium, vitamins), lean meats (chicken, fish, which are sources of protein), vegetables (lots of green leaves, to obtain carbohydrates), eggs. And coffee, without sugar and without exaggeration.
Another cut, young footballer who admires CR7, that needs to be made: retire the PlayStation – or any video game – at night. This addictive activity usually continues until the early hours of the morning. Destroys sleep.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on days when he doesn’t have a game at night, has an early dinner and goes to bed early, in order to wake up early, in a good mood, ready for another day while maintaining 7% body fat, a percentage lower than the average of 10% to 12% for football players.
Is there, young footballer, the formula for success, the path to becoming the next “human machine”?
Negative. What Cristiano Ronaldo does to preserve and enhance himself is healthy and recommended. However, not just replicating the diet and habits will make one a mirror of the five-time best player in the world.
There is one vital component to consider: genetics. Cristiano Ronaldo’s bone structure is… Cristiano Ronaldo’s. You can look like Robozão. Same, no.
