He’s so unbelievably selfish – Rafael van der Vaart opens up on Ronaldo

Former Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart has opened up on Cristiano Ronaldo’s “selfish” mindset and the Portugal national team captain’s dedicated training regimen.

Ronaldo, a former Manchester United star, played 21 games alongside Van der Vaart at Real Madrid.

Talking about their time together at the Santiago Bernabeu, Van der Vaart told talkSPORT.

“He never left his house! I always say as a joke, Ronaldo is the only player that I never saw his willy! He was the first one on the training [pitch]!

“And the last one who went. First of all his body, wow! A machine.

“Ronaldo was so unbelievably selfish, if we won 6-0 and he did not score, he was not happy. When we lose but he scored twice, it’d be alright!. No, no! It was just that he needs to score.”
