Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo, a little more than a month after turning 41, published on his social networks an image showing his spectacular physical shape, which he achieved through training routines and a strict diet.
But not all … This is Cristiano Ronaldo. Nor do they need to be to succeed in the elite. Very few players match the Portuguese’s exploits, but someone who can come close, at least for his successes at Real Madrid, is Marcelo.
The Brazilian, now retired, He was never characterized by a privileged physique. Something he had no problem recognizing in a podcast presented by Iker Casillas.
Marcelo’s confession about his physique
The former goalkeeper directly asked Marcelo how he reacted to criticism regarding his physical condition. It should be remembered that, despite maintaining a very high level practically throughout his career in Madrid, in the latter part he accumulated a series of muscle injuries associated with possible excess weight.
Marcelo takes it with humor. “Even yesterday I was watching videos of me homeschooling my kids and Liam (her grandson) was asking me ‘were you fat there?'”
“My structure was like this“I always had my belly, I never had Cristiano’s six packs,” he admits. “I was never an athlete. I have always enjoyed my life very much“I never went to the gym, I never followed a strict diet,” he continues.
Of course, the Brazilian doesn’t give much importance to the criticism he received. “My body has always been like that and I’ve always played the same way, but of course when something bad happened I was overweight, the other thing… it’s normal,” he says alongside Casillas.
