With each visit to a club, Cristiano Ronaldo leaves an indelible mark. And this is already the case in Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The striker hasn’t spent two months at Al Nassr yet and the differences are already quite visible.
On the pitch, in advertising or in the media, Cristiano Ronaldo is everywhere. There is a before and an after Cristiano Ronaldo. Even in his diet. This is revealed by José Blesa, a Spanish nutritionist who, since December, has been supervising the diet of the players of the Saudi club.
“He is one of the best players in history. He creates a school around him. The rest of the players do what he does because everything he does is wonderful for improving performance. Since he arrived here, all the players have been training harder and following a stricter diet. I’ve never seen a club like this where the players improve almost 90% of their body composition every time I see them: they have less fat, more muscle and do all the exercises at their fingertips. It’s a luxury to work there.” says José Blesa, in comments relayed by A Bola.

The accredited nutritionist, who also deals with individualized diets for elite athletes, mainly footballers, continues to work in Spain, but once a month he travels to Saudi Arabia. The conversations with Ronaldo follow one another and with each of them, his admiration for the 38-year-old Portuguese striker grows:
“Every conversation with him is a learning experience. We talk about his diet and how important it is, along with rest, to his performance. He is the first to arrive at training and the last to leave. I have never met a more professional footballer than him. It’s wonderful to deal with him.” he says, on the professionalism of the highest paid footballer in the world.
