ITALY midfielder Arthur revealed that CR7 criticized his teammates for choosing bad food while playing for Juventus.
“I remember when I was playing for Juventus, in the dining room, Ronaldo always looked at our plates and joked about what we were eating,” Arthur said in a conversation with Mundo Deportivo newspaper on July 4 . “He’s very professional. I’ve never seen anyone like that.”
According to the Spanish newspaper, Ronaldo often chooses different dishes from his teammates. He prioritizes fish and vegetables, limiting fat and sweets. The 38-year-old striker always adheres to a strict exercise and diet regimen to keep his body strong.

This summer, Arthur must return to Juventus. When asked about his future, he said: “The transfer window is very long and we don’t know what will happen. Something interesting could happen for me and Juventus. I have a contract and I respect it, but we’ll see.”
