Ben Foster: Cristiano Ronaldo always arrived early for training at Manchester United. He was definitely the teacher s favorite

A few days ago, former Manchester United player Ben Foster talked about his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

During his time at Manchester United, Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 appearances, won 3 Premier League championships, 1 Champions League championship, 2 League Cup championships and 1 FA Cup championship, and won the Ballon d'Or for the first time.

Ben Foster said in an interview with talkSPORT breakfast show: "Cristiano Ronaldo is always in the state. Really, always in the state. 'First to arrive, last to go', I know it sounds so cliche, you will hear everyone saying, 'Oh God, he is so professional'. But he really is like that, really That's the kind of person."

"Cristiano Ronaldo always arrives at the training base early. When you arrive, even I arrive very early, but he is already there. He has already done physiotherapy, massage, warming up in the gym, doing activation training, and doing various preventive and recovery training."

When asked if Ronaldo would go out with the Manchester United team. When asked, Ben Foster replied: "No, not interested at all, really. He's not the kind of person who drinks. Ronaldo has no intention of getting involved. He knows exactly what that means. He knows that someone will always try to expose him, take photos of him, or put him in an embarrassing situation. So that's not what he's interested in at all."

"But once it comes to football. , When it comes to taking it seriously and training hard, he is there and he will go all out. He may not want to be involved in the little things off the court, but in terms of football responsibility, hard training, and professional attitude, he will always be the top one."

Ben Foster was asked whether Ferguson gave him special treatment due to Ronaldo's close relationship with Ferguson.

Ben Foster replied: "In the media, Ferguson always praises Ronaldo, but it's really easy because that's who he is. Obviously, he is definitely the teacher's favorite. Definitely the teacher's favorite. But it's not special treatment, because Because he is so good, far ahead of others. You don't need to give him any extra treatment, he is just better than others."

Ben Foster then talked about Ronaldo's long life on the court. He is still breaking various records at the age of 40.

Ben Foster said: "I remember it was Mahrez. Someone asked him if he would participate in the next World Cup four years later. He smiled and said: 'I am not Ronaldo, please.' Ronaldo is really a monster, but this is really amazing."

"This also illustrates the point, for all the young players who are watching or listening, if you really put your heart and soul into it, if you really go all out and try your best to pursue something, you can also have such a long career on the court like him."
