Cristiano Ronaldo is a feared figure among Al-Nassr players, as revealed by Alex Telles, who revealed a tense atmosphere in the Saudi club’s canteen around desserts.
Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down, even at 39, and the credit goes to his discipline and commitment to maintaining his fitness. His unwavering dedication to nutrition has made him a formidable role model for his teammates in Saudi Arabia.
In a candid conversation, Telles revealed that Ronaldo has a tailor-made diet based on his physical needs. Not only does he hardly deviate from his basic meal “salmon, quinoa and avocado”, but he also pays attention to what his teammates eat.
Ronaldo gets involved in everyone’s diet
In an interview with Globo Esporte, Telles, who also played with Ronaldo at Manchester United, revealed: “He has his own meal. The food is different, the nutritionist comes with the plate already served. What does he eat? Natural things, salmon, quinoa, avocado… Then he keeps an eye on the other players’ plates.”
“At first the boys were afraid to go for dessert, we know how fit he is, how much he likes to take care of himself, and everyone likes to follow his good example. “He eats a protein after lunch, after 15 days there were about 20 proteins on the table, everyone asked the nutritionist for them, to see if there was any magic in that…”
As Ronaldo continues to push his Al-Nassr teammates to higher standards, Telles has parted ways with the Saudi club. Earlier this month, Telles had his contract terminated and has since returned to his native Brazil, where he now plays for Botafogo. Meanwhile, Ronaldo missed Al-Nassr’s Asian Champions League match against Al Shorta in Baghdad due to a viral infection, but could make his return against Al-Ettifaq in the Pro League on Friday.
