Ronaldo says his body fat is now 11.8%
When Ronaldo joined the Corinthians his body fat was measured at 15.5%. Over the last couple of weeks Ronaldo has been criticised for looking rather big but everyone forgets that Ronaldo was not able to play or train after injurying his knee in February last year.
Ronaldo has now revealed that his body fat has dropped considerably since joining the Corinthians two months ago.
“I arrived here in Corinthians with 15.5% of body fat and now I’m with 11.8%.” Ronaldo told Globoespote.com over a phone interview.
Ronaldo added that the loss is due to his ongoing hardwork and his strict regime given to him by his coach.
Corinthians coach not happy with Ronaldo’s nightlife
Ronaldo has been criticised by the media after being pictured leaving a club in the early hours of Friday morning. In a previous post, Corinthians technical director Antonio Carlos Zago stated that the club does not have any problems with Ronaldo having a bit of fun but this is not the case with coach Menezes.
The coach has lashed out at Ronaldo during a TV interview admitting that he was not happy with Ronaldo and believes his behaviour can harm his image in the eyes of the fans.
“I have some concerns, while respecting the condition of each professional staff. I can not follow each player as Sao Paulo is big and I will not find them. Each player is responsible for their own lives but the important thing is to not let it affect their training or performance on the field.”
“Ronnie knows that everyone is watching him and this could ruin his image. If he makes mistakes then people will blame his behaviour as it will affect his work rate,” the coach added.
Despite the warning from the coach, Menezes did praise Ronaldo for his efforts in traning and his desire to get back on the pitch and believes that once Ronaldo scores, all will be forgotten.
Media skepticises over Ronaldo’s night out in Sao Paulo
The media skepticised Ronaldo after being pictured out in Sao Paulo early Friday night. A nighclub goer took the picture of Ronaldo with his friends in Itaim Bibi in Sao Paulo.
Ronaldo has a reputation of being out until the early hours and this was highly publicised while he was at Real. Ronaldo has not reached match fitness preventing him from being available for the club. The picture where Ronaldo is in a white shirt clearly shows that the player is still overweight.
Contrary to the pictures, technical director of the Corinthians Football Club, Antonio Carlos Zago stated that Ronaldo has lost close to 5-6 kilos since joining the club. The announcement came after trying to avoid any skepticism after Ronaldo went out with his friends on Thursday to enjoy a night on the Sao Paulo town. Zago claims that there are no problems what soever with the player having a little fun.
He continued to state that Ronaldo has been working extremely hard to gain back his fitness and his weight is under close scrutinity from the club.
Maybe the T-Shirt that Ronaldo was wearing was an XXXL…who knows.
