Discipline and hard work are among the factors that help Ronaldo maintain his peak form longer than most of his other colleagues.
During the training session of Al Nassr Club on November 26, journalist Ali Alabdallh filmed Ronaldo appearing on the training ground before his teammates showed up and approaching coach Luis Castro to talk. According to CristianoExtra, Ronaldo was the first to arrive on the team. It was just a moment but it somehow showed Ronaldo’s diligence that few of his colleagues could match.
In fact, Ronaldo has maintained the habit of “arriving early and leaving late” for many years. In the teams he has played for, the 38-year-old superstar has become a role model for young players to follow.

“Ronaldo trains very hard. He is the first player to arrive on the pitch and the last to leave. He brings enthusiasm to his teammates. You can also see that when Ronaldo plays,” coach Andrea Pirlo revealed when he was still coaching Ronaldo at Juventus.
In the early morning of November 28, Al Nassr will face Persepolis in the Asian Cup 1. Although the Portuguese superstar is not injured, he may be given a rest to avoid being overloaded. At this time, Al Nassr has definitely passed the group stage of this year’s Asian Cup 1 after 4 wins and the next match is almost just a formality.
Ronaldo, who will turn 39 in February next year, is still showing incredible stamina. This season, Ronaldo has scored a total of 48 goals, the second highest scorer in 2023.
Besides, Ronaldo is also leading the rankings of Top Scorer and Top Assist in the Saudi Arabian national championship.
