It was the trainer who worked to fund her body in the Manchester United · Ensures that will be among the elite until 2023
Walter di Salvo is the coach who best knows the body of Cristiano Ronaldo, the man who in 2007 began to hone their muscles in the gym at Carrington, Sports City Manchester United's young Portuguese footballer when he signed, with only 17 years, Ferguson's team.
After three years working with him in England, continue without losing touch with CR7. Di Salvo trainer of Qatar today, not surprised at what he has achieved this season, those 41 league goals. Reveals its secrets.
The first question that needs to resolve this elite coach is the diet that is Cristiano Ronaldo to keep his statuesque figure: "Many people talk about his physique, his explosiveness, his strength and the key is in your head. It's football more ambitious than I known. Has a different mentality to that of other cracks. Some of the best players in the world have a good season and then not been able to maintain this regularity or continued growth. A Ronaldo know him well, I've seen him train, and not just think about how you should improve. He is a maverick, a lover of work. Not just watch your diet, but it gives great importance to the rest. Measure everything you eat, what you drink and the hours needed rest. "
Di Salvo put his training to the letter were classified as avant-garde: "He falls and crushes all that knows he can improve. It is very disciplined. We've never seen a drop of alcohol testing, hates fat foods, measures much the amount of calories and everything based on a Mediterranean diet. Do not give a treat. I love pasta, for example. In an equal basis with other athletes beyond them for their desire to progress, to be number one. This mindset allows you to continue to grow each season. "
In Manchester he scored in the 2007-08 season, a total of 42 goals in all competitions, being the top scorer in the Premiership. A figure that has become a pop at Real Madrid, making 41 league goals. "I'm sure you can overcome this record. I do not wonder. There have been a coincidence. I know him well and for his humility, I take as a personal challenge more to overcome. It is difficult to say where his roof because he himself is formed. Play up to 38 years in the elite. As Giggs. Is a professional and an example for all his companions, who when they see him coach feel they have to do the same. I think that Madrid made a cheap signing because it will take many years to a high standard and will give a lot to Real Madrid. "
To give an example of mental strength, it refers to the last season he had in England in 2007-08, when after the World Cup in Germany in the quarter-final with Portugal met England, CR7 caused the expulsion of Rooney. There was forgiven and in all fields was received in the most hostile, with the press putting him public enemy number one. "I never went down. He held all kinds of insults, of nasty receptions. It was silent and played a very high level, scoring lots of goals and becoming the critical praise. Demonstrated the strong character that is, their maturity, which helps to keep growing, "said Di Salvo.
