Former Manchester United official, Patrice Evra especially rubbed shoulders with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. On site, the Portuguese striker would have had an unpleasant surprise for him… by simply inviting him to spend some time at his place.
Having played for several prestigious clubs in his illustrious career, he also wore the jersey of the French team for over 10 years, and was even the captain. Suffice it to say that Patrice Evra played with many great players, including his memorable time at Manchester United. One of them will undoubtedly tell you something, because he is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Patrice Evra shocked by the sight of Cristiano Ronaldo in private
Recruited by United in 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo welcomed Evra to Manchester three years later. The French then got all the talent of the youngster… but not only that. It is actually remembered for the British channel ITV that, despite his relative age, he showed a good competitive spirit at the time. Featuring Red Devils locker room officials like Rio Ferdinand:
Patrice Evra: Rio beat him at table tennis so we all called him out. This really upset Cristiano. After that, he sent his cousin to buy a board, trained at his house for two weeks and ended up beating Rio in front of everyone. That’s it, Cristiano Ronaldo. His drive to win it all doesn’t surprise me.
The final contender, CR7 is also positioning himself as a true workhorse.
Evra was able to see this to his cost after a seemingly banned invitation to eat at his former team’s house:
Patrice Evra: If I had to give you advice, it would be to refuse if Cristiano invites you to lunch instead. One day he said to me, “Patrick, come home after practice. »
In the end, on the table, there was only salad, dry chicken breast and water. When he finished eating, he got up and started playing with a ball and juggling. He said to me, “Let’s do a little two-touch exercise.” » I was like, “Can I finish eating first?” » But he said, “No, no, let’s do this exercise!” »
We did it and after that he wanted to go to the pool for a swim. I said to myself, “Okay, after the jacuzzi and the sauna, I’m leaving.” » But before that, I asked him, “Cristiano, why are we here?” To prepare for a game we play tomorrow or just for lunch? » That’s why I recommend to anyone he invites to his home not to go. This man is a machine that never stops training.
While Cristiano Ronaldo thought he would have a rest period around good food, Patrice Evra eventually had to settle for mediocre food and hidden training. News that gives a good summary of the personality of Portugal.

Thank you for the input. Here’s an interview with two guests about Patrice Evra’s experiences with Cristiano Ronaldo:
Guest 1: Alex Ross, a sports journalist with over a decade of experience in reporting on football.
Guest 2: James Smith, a football coach and analyst who has worked with several top clubs in Europe.
Moderator: Welcome to the World Today News interview section. Today, we will be discussing Patrice Evra’s recent revelations about his experience with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Let’s begin with you, Alex. What are your thoughts on Evra’s comments about Cristiano’s work ethic and drive to win?
Alex Ross: I’ve always known Cristiano Ronaldo as a highly competitive and driven athlete, but it’s interesting to hear such a personal account from Patrice Evra. It really shows how far Ronaldo would go to improve his skills to become the best player he could be.
Moderator: James, as a football coach, what’s your take on Cristiano’s unconventional training methods, especially inviting teammates for impromptu training sessions?
James Smith: It’s not unusual for top athletes to train outside of scheduled times, but it is unusual for them to involve teammates so closely. I think it shows Cristiano’s determination to be better than everyone else, and he must have pushed his teammates to perform at their best too. However, it also suggests that he might have been overbearing at times.
Moderator: Speaking of which, Patrice mentioned that Cristiano was always focused on winning and training, even during supposed downtime like lunch. Alex, do you think this obsessive nature has helped Cristiano become as successful as he is today?
Alex Ross: Absolutely. Successful athletes are often defined by their dedication and commitment to their craft. Ronaldo’s obsession with winning and training has undoubtedly contributed to his incredible achievements, both individually and with his teams.
Moderator: James, what impact do you think this kind of behavior can have on the team dynamic?
James Smith: It can certainly be challenging for teammates who may not share the same level
