Danny Drinkwater’s Ronaldo-Inspired Fitness Frenzy…

Danny Drinkwater, the former Leicester City aficionado, reveals how Cristiano Ronaldo turned his belly fat into abs of steel. A Man United academy kid since he was nine, Drinkwater admits he joined the gym cult after witnessing Ronaldo’s extraordinary muscle metamorphosis.

Long before basking in Premier League glory with Leicester, Drinkwater shared the training turf with Ronaldo at Man United. Chatting on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, ‘Rio Ferdinand Presents’, he reminisced about Ronaldo. “He wasn’t as bulky at first, more like a lean featherweight,” Drinkwater jests. But after one dramatic pre-season transformation, Ronaldo returned looking like he’d bench-pressed a year’s supply of weights!

Danny-boy wasn’t the only Ronaldo-admirer. Raphael Varane, who teamed up with Ronaldo at Madrid and United, waxed poetic about Ronaldo’s insane gym sessions. “He’s got the body of a Greek god,” Varane quips, impressed by Ronaldo’s never-ending quest to become the fittest soccer cyborg.

After leaving Man United, Drinkwater struck gold with Leicester and later retired, having relived his Ronaldo-inspired fitness dreams at Chelsea, Aston Villa, and beyond. Let’s face it, Danny, if Ronaldo at the gym doesn’t inspire you, nothing will.
