Fatso Ronaldo flops in Corinthians fitness test
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
Ronaldo’s return to the world of football is proving to be a long and hard slog, with the Brazilian failing to seem capable of shifting any of his excess weight which he piled on during his 10-month absence from the game due to injury.
At the weekend his new side Corinthians put the real-Ronaldo through his paces at training, but those who wanted to see some speed were left bitterly disappointed.
The signs were less than encouraging, as the Brazilian struggled to keep up with the pace, appearing sluggish and tired, while reportedly coming last out of the 28 squad members during resistance and speed work exercises.
Trying to put a positive spin on Ronaldo’s fitness, Corinthians’ fitness coach Flavio de Oliveira told reporters “We always knew Ronaldo wouldn’t fare as good as the other players, however he will get better with time and we are sure of this. He just needs plenty of training to recover from his injury.”
Footage of Ronaldo’s latest training session can be seen here.

I feel that Ronaldo needs a little more respect.. How many players would have even tried to play football after that last injury? Give him some more time. It seems that you have forgotten what Ronaldo has given us (fans of football) in al those years that he was the best player of the world.

Ronaldo is the greatest ever player in the world and I know this coming back for him will be his best. He is the Mike Tyson of the boxing, the Michael Jordan of the Basketball, the Pete Sampras of the Tenis, he is the best.

I’ve been a fan of the phenomeno since i was a kid.I’m now 17 years old and he’s been the entertainment of my entire life. It is a great honor to see Ronaldo back to work again. As his comebacks have always been the inspiring,we expect a full ride of thrill from the greatest striker of all time as he continues his marvelous career with the Corinthians.
