Cristiano Ronaldo marked 2014 Ballon d’Or with champagne, then requested extra training | OneFootball

"When he won the Ballon d’Or in 2014, Cristiano toasted with a glass of champagne to celebrate. In the first training session, he asked to do an extra session to burn off the calories," said Davide Ancelotti.

He was speaking to the Tripletta podcast by Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Is that the secret of champions? I think so, although sometimes it's exaggerated," he said. "I remember two players, whose names I will not mention, playing badminton at four in the morning on the way back from an away game because of a bet."

"[Toni] Kroos. But also [Luka] Modric, about whom I have a great story," Davide noted. "He always played with some socks under his Real Madrid ones."

"Now comes the World Cup alongside my father, then I hope to find a club that appeals to me. I already have some offers on the table and I want to decide before the tournament, but we'll see."

"Everyone wants to win, and when you see the green and yellow jersey you can't help but feel a great sense of responsibility."
