Former Manchester United player Quinton Fortune have revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo training method helped him become who he is now.
Speaking to Yahoo Sports, Fortune said:
"Cristiano was skinny and needed to work on his physique when he came to England. In training he wanted to have fun and embarrass his teammates by going past them again and again. We’d never seen anything like the kid. He was obsessed with step overs and showing his skills. Not tricks, skills. We didn’t tell him that he was wrong just because he was different; we could see that he was hugely talented.
He wanted to do everything better than ever other player, to learn do tricks all the time. He was always the best at step overs, but he started doing them with weights strapped to his ankles so that it would be easier in a real game. He would practice a trick slowly by himself. Then he’d try it in training games. Finally, he’d do it in a real game. If he saw someone do a new trick he would ask them how they did it. Then he’d teach himself until he was the best."
