Ronaldo's incredible stories: Boasting Festivals, Overweight Hurts

Ronaldo Nazario is one of the best football players in history, but his legend status is not focused solely on the playing field. Brazil also left its mark at night, with wild parties still remembered. For his transfers, damage and football, he has issued statements over the years in which he has told many stories, worth gathering and remembering in these days the quarantine of football and all humanity from “Cronavirus”.

1. His Extinction Festivals

Ronaldo is one of the great stones in football history, but also one of them, who has done a lot to talk about his life outside the playing field.

His wild parties were well known and widely remembered over the years: my “Fests were very good. Some remember more than my goals, writes teleport.

People imagine them, but they have no idea how good they were. Florentino made me very angry with them. The best incident was one day when he called me and said,

Why don't you stay home? Look... I answered: If I had a wife that Figo, I'd be alone... Arrigo Sacchi criticized me before the team and fined me. As he approached me, I said, either fine or ridicule, not both. My priority was football, so I don't regret it. Football players are young... they want to get out, they want to see girls. Normal things for young people, especially when you have pre-”.

2. Harms and Overweights

Ronaldo's career, popular by all, has always left behind an unknown sigh of what could have been, if the injuries hadn't stopped. Being overweight affected the last part of his career:

I've suffered two very serious injuries that ruined my career for about three years, which left me with consequences and forced me to predict the end of my career.

It was a real test, a very difficult time. My family, mourning, and my doctors encouraged me to continue, and it was worth it. Also, I had become a father for the first time in those days and this was a very important incentive for me.

I never felt discouraged, thinking about the end of my career in soccer, even though the injuries were serious. I've never had any doubts about the return. And I never doubted, for a second, that the long suffering, rehabilitation and pain would not be worth it.

Zidane came to see me at the hospital, right where I was, in France. He was in Italy with Juventu and got into trouble. He came to the clinic to see me, to find out how I was. That's where our friendship arose. In 1999, in the U.S. Cup, I was on vacation, seeing me with weight, Coach Luxembourg gave me Xenical, a drug to lose several pounds.

After I drank it, every 10 minutes I went to the bathroom, how I could be trained. He decided to train with a diaper, something similar for protection. I was just making a sacrice just to enjoy the record. I left football because of an injury, it's true. A very strong vest and perhaps the worst pain I've ever had in my life. But at 35 years of age, I did not want to undergo surgery again. I felt as if I had lost that force.

3. Leaving Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter

Ronaldo fell in love with everyone, no matter what fans he wears. However, he could not leave his teams well. The goodbyes with Barcelona, Inter and Real Madrid were not adequate and left a bitter taste in his memories:

I went against my will, because I wanted to have a lot of trouble with Coach Fabio Capello. If I were 100 grams more than my weight, it would take me off the team. I think he conditioned me as his hostage. If I played badly, the coach came only from overweight. Our relationship was cool, there should be separation. And the moment the coach is stronger, the club has to choose.

Inter? Cúper has been worse because Capello at least has a story behind him. But Cúper, what did he finish? It was the only time I talked to Morati and said: President, I can't go on with this coach. Either get him out of Inter or I'll go. He chose Cúper before me.

Barcelona? I had signed the contract for renovation at the end of the season and went on a trip to Brazil. After five days I was called up to say that I could not continue with the renovation. This was never in my hands. I wish I could continue there. If the club did not value me properly, this decision was not in my hands. I'd like to stay”

4. 1998 World Cup final

The 1998 World Cup final was Ronaldo's excellent opportunity for the blind “” football world, but a series of medical intrigues, concessions and mourning problems of “armed the attacker in the nal duel against France. Several panic hours in the collection of “Selecao”, where “Fenomen” lost consciousness:

I decided to rest soon after lunch and the last thing I remember is that I was going to bed. I went to bed, then I had a concession and I lost consciousness. When I was mentioned, I saw that I was surrounded by other players and by Dr. Lidio Toledo.

Medical examinations showed nothing abnormal. We went to the stadium, I approached Zagallo and I said: I'm fine, I got nothing, I wanna play. The coach had no choice but to accept my decision. Maybe I've had an impact all over the team, because the concession I had was one of the scary ones, it's not something you see every day. But I've had a maximum commitment to my country and I've never wanted to disappoint anyone.

I had my pride and felt like I could play. The 2002 final was at the same time as that of Paris. After lunch, everyone went to sleep and I thought: I don't want to. I found Dida awake and I said: No, you stay with me! I did not sleep that day, fearing that it would happen again”.

5. His football

Although Ronaldo was most explosive and brilliant in Barcelona and Inter, his time in Madrid is remembered by the Brazilian as the happiest period. Even after “hung his shoes on the nail”, he's the team, with which he identical himself more:

I played with Zidane, a man I admire. He's the best I've ever played with. Zidane is a colleague who had more eyes. The privilege of being with her was fantastic. There was a lot of expectations for the galaxy back then, and we finally gave a lot of spectacles. It was a toy generation that changed the way it did business inside football”.

6. Life Outside Football

Ronaldo, besides football, left a few <x0... trace”, about how he lives his life. Some phrases about his smiling character even away from the ball field: “There are stigmatizations about many things. If you're black, if you're gay... I don't remember anybody protecting me when they called me obese. I don't care. I had a vaszektom, but I froze enough sperm to form a football team, if my partner wanted”
