Even during his playing days, Ronaldo de Lima was not renowned for
his attention to fitness. Having retired and freed himself of the rigorous
physical exercises demanded of a top flight player, he has really let
himself go and piled on the pounds. His ex-Madrid teammate, Michael
Owen took to twitter to joke about his weight but the Brazilian didn’t
take too kindly to it. The three-time FIFA World Player of the Year said:
Quote
“I am shocked as to how much importance my weight garners in the
world we live in. I don’t know why it is so important, to be honest.”
Ronaldo also revealed that he did not speak to Owen after his gag,
while Roberto Carlos – another former Real great – hit out at the ex-
England star.
“I don’t like these type of jokes. Ronaldo is a very good friend of mine
and we have to be careful. The thing about Ronaldo is not about his
body, it’s his heart, he has a very big heart,”
he added.
Twitter users have come out in fierce defence of Ronaldo while
reprimanding Owen for the jibe.
