Ancelotti: "Too much water kills the plant"

The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about Al-Nasr striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

"One of the most professional players I've ever worked with. He once told me: 'Too much water kills a plant.' Football requires enormous physical effort, but recovery is important. Many injuries are caused by excessive wear and tear," Ancelotti was quoted as saying by Cadena Ser.

Ancelotti coached Real Madrid when Cristiano Ronaldo played for the club. The forward has made 24 appearances in all competitions for Al-Nasr this season, scoring 21 goals and providing three assists.
