"Ice bath at 2 am and training in the shower", life with Cristiano

"I always laugh when I hear stories and rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo being a destructive presence in the Portuguese camp because that's all they are, stories." This is the introduction to a BBC Sport article by Jose Fonte who describes his several years of experience in the Portuguese national team alongside the world star.

"I spent many years with him in the national team and I never encountered any problems. What I do know is that not only is he a professional, but he tries to help everyone on the team. Just by observing him, you get ideas about what you have to do to be successful, but when you're with Cristiano, you get more than that."

Fonte continues by explaining that Ronaldo is not only an example on the field, but also off it.

"When he goes to the gym earlier than others or does physiotherapy and prepares his body and mind, he takes everyone with him. He led and we followed. I remember how we all did ice baths and saunas at 2 in the morning because of him and apart from recovering physically, the important thing is that we did it as a team together".

The article praises Ronaldo as a man capable of getting the right information from the best experts in the world and sharing it with anyone. "He talks about everything he asks because he wants you and the team to improve, he turns it into a good working environment."

Fonte writes that he has known the Portuguese star for a long time, since they were teenagers at Sporting and he played in the U-17 even though he was still 16 years old. From that time, his extraordinary talent and desire to be the best stood out.

"Besides the ability, he had a fantastic mentality. I would see him at the gym after practice trying to get stronger and faster when everyone else had gone home. He always wanted to win. He was very competitive and told us he would do more pumps in the shower than anyone, which of course he did.

That will is part of him and that's why he's still with Portugal at Euro 2024 at the age of 39. He is an animal that will keep winning and winning. Not only is he the best, but he wants to try."

According to Fonte, it is this mentality that has made him push himself to work hard because it takes colossal work to stay at his level for so many years.

"This is Cristiano. Mentally, it is unbeatable. It is the reason why he has won and done so much and of everything that makes him the player and the man he is, this is his greatest strength", he concludes.

Fonte emphasizes that the contribution and values ​​of Cristiano Ronaldo should be passed down to the younger ones, so that not only this tournament, but also the one to come, will preserve the spirit of the team.
