Ronaldo was a guest on Arena SporTV this afternoon, which will be aired later on this week. During the interview, Ronaldo spoke about his desire to join the Brazilian squad in South Africa next year.
“It depends on the first half. I have to show my best performance. I’ll make a effort, perhaps the biggest in my career. I will work hard,” said Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was asked what he thought about sex before a game?
“Scientifically, it has never been proven (that sex hinders performance). This is a legend. Today, players concentrate the day before and the club puts guards in the corridors so noone can get in or out. What a shame. I’ve talked with the Mano Menezes, who likes a lot of concentration. I told him in Barcelona and the Netherlands, in home games, we did not focus. In those two years, my average (goals) was always high (laughs),” said Ronaldo.
Before Ronaldo was a big star he recalls the diffcult times as a kid trying to play for Flamengo.
“My family made a tremendous effort because we had no money. Former goalkeeper of Flamengo, Cantarelli helped co-ordinate the tryout for Flamengo. I passed the first and then came back and passed the second as well. However, my mum said that giving me food to travel to Flamengo meant missing out on food so I went to St Kitts which was closer. With the money I saved I brought a snack,” explained Ronaldo.
Ronaldo also praised Belgians Luc Nilis, whom was his first strike partner at PSV. According to the Phenomenon, the player provided him with the most assists in his career.
“In the beginning, we understood only by mime. After a year and a half, learned Dutch but then I went away and never met a Dutch to practice (laughs),” said Ronaldo.
