They reveal what Cristiano's diet is to be in shape at 36

His rigor with training and nutrition are two of the keys that have allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to remain in force and continue to break records both at the club and national team level. And although almost everything has already been said about the discipline of Portuguese, the testimonies of people who are close to him do not cease to amaze, such as Daouda Peeters.

The Belgian midfielder shares a dressing room with the Portuguese at Juventus and has revealed some secrets of the footballer's life, such as diet. “Always eat the same. Broccoli, chicken and rice. With liters of water, certainly without Coca-Cola ", laughs Peeters, in an interview for the 'HLN' publication. The 22-year-old footballer, who will face Cristiano on Sunday when Portugal and Belgium clash for the Euro Cup, has also highlighted how hard 'CR7' works in the gym, very different from his teammates in the 'Vecchia Signora' .

“He doesn't do those abdominal exercises out of vanity, but because he sees his body as a working instrument. It is not the case that Cristiano stands in front of the mirror during the hours. Anyway, he wouldn't have time for that. When he's at the club, it's mainly for training. He really lives for his job, ”he says. And he reveals an anecdote in the gym. “I went for a while and, of course, there was also Cristiano. I was impressed. Cristiano has the perfect body for a footballer. And even though I'm quite muscular myself, that day I thought, 'There's still work to be done.' But hey, he has also been doing it maniacally for so many years. "

Daouda Peeters also emphasized the winning spirit of the Portuguese forward. “Cristiano wants to win always and everywhere. It makes young players grow. It really involves you. I think it's a very good feature ”. And he believes that just as it is in the Italian box, it is also with his national team. “Cristiano is a very nice guy, not at all arrogant, but at the same time he takes football very seriously. On the bus he talks about almost nothing else. And yes, he does mention Belgian players sometimes. Believe me, Cristiano has a lot of respect for Lukaku. He will be very motivated to beat Belgium. As always".
