Real Madrid stars following the ‘Cristiano Ronaldo method’ for all-round improvement

Journalist Carlos Anangono has shared in AS that Real Madrid players are currently adhering to what is called the ‘Cristiano Method.’

This approach involves adopting the former striker’s philosophy of continuous self-improvement, maintaining professionalism in training, and being mindful of nutrition.

Interestingly, these practices are still very much alive at Valdebebas today.

It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy at Real Madrid extends from the starting players to the substitutes at the club. His mentality of always being there for the team and never giving up, regardless of playing time, is a guiding principle.

Ronaldo remains the biggest influence at the club, even today, inspiring both the current stars and the emerging talents.

Cristiano’s ethics are valued at Real Madrid

Although over six years have passed since Ronaldo departed from Real Madrid, his presence is still deeply felt at the club.

However, not everyone knows about his work ethic and lifestyle, which continue to resonate in the Real Madrid dressing room. Since his arrival in 2009, Ronaldo’s presence initiated a cultural shift within the club, extending beyond the sporting aspect.

Today, players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Arda Guler grew up watching the Portuguese star excel in a Real Madrid jersey. And now, as they step into similar roles, they embody Ronaldo’s legacy in their professional lives.

During their holidays, they particularly follow the ‘Cristiano Method’ to maintain their physical fitness for the upcoming preseason.

Even Mbappe imitated Ronaldo

From a professional viewpoint, Cristiano’s footballing impact in Madrid is unparalleled. He has indeed been accused of his individualistic nature and the lack of team’s collective spirit, but his success, along with that of the team, is historic.

Therefore, Ronaldo’s time at Madrid serves as a benchmark for the current generation of footballers who are now making their mark.

Interestingly, his influence extends beyond Real Madrid. For instance, Kylian Mbappe replicated Ronaldo’s iconic presentation at Real Madrid.

During the press conference, Mbappe also highlighted the significant role Ronaldo has played in his career.

Ronaldo’s approach to football goes beyond just scoring goals and winning titles. His dedication to daily improvement, rigorous training routines, and strict nutritional habits have set a new standard at Real Madrid.

These principles have been embraced by players throughout the squad, regardless of their status on the team.
