The Cristiano Ronaldo Legacy Lives On at Real Madrid
It’s been six years since Cristiano Ronaldo bid farewell to the Bernabeu, but his influence on Real Madrid remains as strong as ever. The Portuguese superstar’s impact on the club extends far beyond his impressive statistics – 438 goals in 450 games, anyone? – and continues to shape the culture and mentality of the current squad.
The ‘Cristiano Method’ Takes Hold
According to Spanish publication AS, the current crop of players at Real Madrid are adopting the ‘Cristiano Method’, a holistic approach to training and nutrition that prioritizes professionalism and dedication. Players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, and Endrick have all been inspired by Ronaldo’s work ethic and are applying the same principles to their own training regimens.
A Legacy That Transcends the Sporting Aspect
The report suggests that Ronaldo’s influence has created a cultural shift at the club that goes beyond the pitch. Carlo Ancelotti’s less regular players, for example, have adopted a mentality of always being available and ready to contribute when called upon. This is a testament to the lasting impact of Ronaldo’s professionalism and dedication.
Endrick’s Tribute to Ronaldo
New signing Endrick recently spoke about the influence of Ronaldo on his decision to join Real Madrid. "I hadn’t planned it, but I’ve loved Real Madrid since I was a kid," he said. "I saw Cristiano Ronaldo and because of him I wanted to know a bit more about Real Madrid." When asked about Ronaldo’s influence, Endrick had nothing but praise for the Portuguese legend. "He’s my biggest idol, a player who broke all records by being an exemplary, dedicated player… He is a reference for any player who wants to go further in their career."
Conclusion
The Cristiano Ronaldo legacy lives on at Real Madrid, and it’s clear that his influence will continue to shape the club for years to come. Whether it’s the current crop of players adopting the ‘Cristiano Method’ or new signings like Endrick being inspired by Ronaldo’s dedication, the Portuguese superstar’s impact on the club is undeniable.
