Former coach of Real Madrid Fabio Capello called the Brazilian Ronaldo the most "difficult" player with whom he had to work.

A well-known Italian specialist recalled the times of his stay in Real, separately focusing on the person of the Brazilian Ronaldo.

"Many believe that the most" difficult "player in my career was Antonio Cassano. He was young, remarkably acted on the field, but behaved absolutely crazy way out of it, "- began Capello.

"Nevertheless, it was most difficult for me to work with Ronaldo Phenomenon".

"I will tell you why. In the summer, I headed Real Madrid, and in the fall he returned after injury to continue playing for the team. He weighed 96 kg - this is the weight of a boxer! ".

"I asked Ronaldo what his weight was when he won the World Cup. He said 84 kg.

Then I asked him to lose weight at least up to 88 kg ".

"Unfortunately, he did not want to exert the slightest effort, and the best thing he did was 94 kg. He played three games at the base in a pair with Ruud van Nistelrooy, and all three fights we lost, "- concluded the Italian.

Capello has never been able to find a common language with Ronaldo, which is why in 2007, the Zubacic moved to Milan.

In the same year, Fabio was dismissed from the post of head coach of Real.
