Did Cristiano Ronaldo Develop Speed At Sporting Lisbon?
Ronaldo is known for his incredible speed on the field. He has also proven is speed through a scientific test once. It seems that Ronaldo’s youth team, Sporting Lisbon, can be credited for this skill of his. But, how did Cristiano Ronaldo develop speed at Sporting Lisbon, to become a nightmare for defences?

Defenders in La Liga were most likely left lamenting Bolt for further helping Ronaldo. Indeed, even at 31 years old, the winger is still fast. EA Sports’ FIFA computer game probably isn’t a genuine indicator of a player’s capacity. However, his pace rating in FIFA 17 remains the same as it was in FIFA 10, i.e. 92. Ronaldo’s method may have required some work to improve. However, he now has a speed that most footballers long for. What’s more, it was through a thorough administration that Ronaldo picked up his speed. Miguel Paixão, who used to share a room with CR7 during his tenure at Sporting Lisbon, has clarified how the Real Madrid star would utilize weights to enhance his speed.

“We moved to a flat, and during the night he had two weights and a ball and we liked to walk to Marques do Pombal, a nice garden,” Paixão said in a documentary about Ronaldo. “He used to strap the weights in his legs to improve his speed… He used to say that without the weights, he felt faster. So much faster, and this is funny… when we were on our way back home he gave me the ball and the weights to compete against the cars at the traffic lights… When the lights went green, he ran very fast to beat the cars. After this, he celebrated: ‘I’m faster!’ He always wanted to improve, in every aspect. And he achieved that.”
It’s yet more confirmation that Ronaldo has worked diligently to become the best player he could be.
