West Ham United defender, Patrice Evra in a podcast said that anyone offered lunch by former Manchester United teammate Ronaldo should not accept based on his personal experience at the Portugal striker’s house.
In his ITV’s World Cup podcast interview, he recounted his experience: “I would give advice to anybody, when Cristiano invites you for lunch at his house, just say no.
“So he said, ‘Patrice, come over after training.’ I went, you know I was really tired, [and] at the table there was only salad and plain white chicken so I was like, okay, and water, not any juice and we started eating and I was thinking some big meat would be coming after that but there was nothing.
“He just finished and he stood up and he started playing with a ball, doing some skills and he said, ‘Let’s do some two-touch.’
“I was like, can I just finish eating? ‘No, no let’s play two- touch,’ we start playing two touch. After that he said let’s go
to the pool to swim, I was like okay… And after going in the jacuzzi, the sauna, I’m done.
“I say, ‘Cristiano why have we come here, have we come here because we have a game tomorrow, or just for lunch?’
“So that’s why I would recommend to anyone when Cristiano invite you to his house, don’t go – just say no because this guy, he’s a machine, he doesn’t want to stop training.”
