Cristiano Ronaldo displayed his wonderful abilities at this Thursday’s Juventus training session.
He’s about to turn 36, has won almost every single title and prize a footballer can get, but he’s still at the top of his game. How does Cristiano Ronaldo stay so focused and determined after all these years?
Well, one of the reasons that explain the star’s success is that he has never stopped having fun on the pitch. Being a professional footballer can’t be all work and no play, and it looks like Ronaldo has achieved the perfect balance between the two.
At the start of this career, Ronaldo was a goofy teenager who loved to play around with the ball. However, that naturally upset some of his older teammates. After an incident at Manchester United featuring Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo’s focus began to change.
The Portugal captain’s mentality evolved and Cristiano had only one goal in mind: becoming the best player in the world. Naturally, that didn’t leave much time for fooling around on and off the pitch. However, Ronaldo’s teammates have always assured he is one of the nicest guys in the locker room. Moreover, the Juventus star is sometimes caught having a laugh in training sessions.
This Thursday morning, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen doing what he does best: entertain his teammates and his fans. The player showed off his skills with a number of touches and tricks and left Bernardeschi looking starstruck on the training pitch.
