Ruud van Nistelrooy on Ronaldo

Ruud van Nistelrooy still can't get over what he saw in training with Ronaldo, El Fenómeno. Sure, everyone knows about the knee injuries and the weight struggles that plagued his time at Real Madrid. But when they hit the pitch for 4 against 4 or 6 against 6 drills, the Brazilian was on another level. Van Nistelrooy says it was the best skill he has ever witnessed in his entire life. He remembers thinking that if Ronaldo was that good while dealing with physical issues, his peak must have been unimaginable. The former striker believes a more professional lifestyle and better luck with health would have changed history. In his view, Ronaldo would have secured the Ballon d'Or about 7 or 8 times. It is a staggering what-if scenario based on those intense practice sessions.
