‘He’s a genius’ – Training Cristiano Ronaldo

Available for over a year

As Cristiano Ronaldo turns 40, what has enabled him to keep on playing at the highest level and still score goals? Fitness expert Mick Clegg, who worked closely with Ronaldo when he was "power development coach" at Manchester United, tells Sport Today's John Bennett about why Ronaldo is a “genius” and can be compared to the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. He recalls their first session together, what Ronaldo said to him about becoming the “best in the world” and why he thinks Ronaldo will become a “great manager”.
