Vinicius Junior Copies Cristiano Ronaldo’s Method at Real Madrid

DBasia.news – Vinicius Junior admires Cristiano Ronaldo is not a secret. The Real Madrid player once revealed that on his social media account. That admiration was not only a lip service. This can be seen in his current work.

Undergoing independent training due to the Corona Virus pandemic, Vinicius Junior showed great effort. Specifically, he imitated the method used by Cristiano Ronaldo. The two main things are about diet and the pattern of body muscle training.

As reported by Marca, Vinicius hired a nutritionist and personal trainer. Nutritionists are assigned a dietary pattern that must be performed by the player. Meanwhile, the personal trainer is of course to direct the training pattern to the right target.

The figure of a personal trainer that Vinicius hired was not haphazard. He is Thiago Lobo who never handled the Real Madrid winger at Santos. Lobo is also known as a figure who helps the formation of the body muscles of the Flamengo striker, Gabriel Barbosa aka Gabigol.

The results began to appear, the body shape of Vinicius Junior is now beginning to approach Cristiano Ronaldo. His body which initially seemed thin, muscular now. In fact, his stomach muscles now look eight pack.

The hard work by copying Cristiano Ronaldo’s methods was done by Vinicius not without reason. He wants to return to the Real Madrid squad in very good condition and better than his colleagues. “For the sake of returning stronger and superior to others,” he said as quoted from his Instagram account.

Vinicius Junior seems less satisfied with his performance throughout the season. Understandably, he lacked the trust of coach Zinedine Zidane. Of the 28 appearances in all competitions, only 13 times he dropped as a starter. In fact, he is often touted as the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at Real Madrid.
