He would say to everyone, ‘I will do more push-ups than you in the shower after training’. And he would,” Fonte told the Daily Telegraph.
“He would do more than everyone. It showed how competitive he is. He was so far ahead of everyone.
“I love [Lionel] Messi but Ronaldo is Ronaldo. He was only young and I saw him millions of times in the gym, after training, when everyone else had gone home trying to get stronger, trying to be quicker.

“His work ethic and desire to be the best is unmatchable.”
Fonte praised Ronaldo for handling the fame, and describe him as inspiration for everyone, while opposing the notion that this arrogant and too proud.
“You can’t go anywhere – everyone knows him. He is recognised worldwide and attracts so many millions of people. Everyone wants a piece of him.
“He went through the different stages of fame. Friends who knew him before this, know what a good person he is. We know what he had to do to get to where he has and it’s great to see how well he has done in life.
“It’s not an easy situation to be in. People think sometimes it’s great to be Cristiano. Obviously it has its ups but also the downs.
“He deals with it in a great manner. It is a privilege to be sharing the dressing-room with him. He has been an inspiration to me.”
