Ronaldo: The Workhorse with a Smile…

Once upon a time in the magical land of Old Trafford, a young Ben Foster sat next to a somewhat familiar Portuguese wizard known as Cristiano Ronaldo. Fast forward to today, and Foster is spilling the beans—though not the magical ones—about Ronaldo’s real-life antics on the Fozcast podcast.

Decorated in glittering trophies, Ronaldo wasn’t just a serial winner on the pitch; he was also a workhorse off it. According to Ben, Ronaldo was “good as gold”—perhaps even better, given the market—charming the socks off his teammates with his penchant for hard work. So while Foster watched Ronaldo’s career skyrocket, he claims, “The lad was never idle; you’d never find him gossiping over tea!”

Ronaldo’s saga at United is a bit like a two-season TV drama. The first: idyllic with hugs all around. The sequel? Well, things got spicy with fireworks between him and the scriptwriter—or manager, Erik ten Hag. Despite a few behind-the-scenes squabbles, Foster swears Ronaldo was never the drama king the tabloids made him out to be. He just trotted away to Al-Nassr, scoring goals like it’s going out of style.
