arguably one of if not the greatest player to have ever graced the game of football Cristiano Ronaldo has continuously stood at the very top along with Leonel Messi for over a decade these two living legends are clearly in a league of their own and it's not even close trying to debate who's better between the two has been the sports most heated argument however this isn't a video talking about who's better that's a whole nother video in itself instead we're gonna question just exactly what makes Ronaldo such a specimen as we examine some insane evidence that
might prove that he definitely is not normal what's going on guys it see a boy Raymar back again for another video and today we're gonna see if Cristiano Ronaldo is really human ever since Cristiano Ronaldo was a child he was never normal even from a young age he was always different from the other kids Ronaldo never had what you could call your typical childhood as early as he can remember he was already focused on football instead of playing for fun as a kid he would already take it to a whole nother level while most of
us at a young age were probably just kicking around for fun Cristiano Ronaldo took it extremely seriously so much so that he would actually cry when he would pass the ball at teammates for potential assists and they miss not only in football but in everything he did he wanted to win and be the best as young as he was this inhumane competitive obsession to strive for greatness and improve himself and everyone around him made him a man among boys but at the age of 15 Cristiano Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart arrhythmia at rest
his heart would be beating like a normal person's heart would beat while they were running Ronaldo was already an amazingly athletic player for his age and this heart arrhythmia might have allowed him to exceed normal physical limits however his club at the time Sporting CP did not want to risk anything so Ronaldo ended up getting heart surgery and amazingly just after a couple of days Ronaldo would be back to training on the pitch Ronaldo would continue to amaze in Portugal until he was finally noticed by the great Sir Alex Ferguson as being a potential generational
talent that he had never seen before and we know he's seen a lot Ferguson knew immediately that he wanted Cristiano Ronaldo in Old Trafford from his very first game it was clear to the entire world that Cristiano Ronaldo was different he would continue to improve and get even better amazing even more people and was quickly becoming recognized as one of the world's best at the age of 20 but he was still human it wasn't until a few years later when all of a sudden he would evolve English legend Gary Neville explains coming back from the
2006 World Cup was the world norm but I remember him just completely changing but just seemed to mature overnight his body completely changed and in that instance I thought that's where this what a big change was for me in 2006 after such a narrow loss against his future coach zinedine zidane in the World Cup semi-final Cristiano Ronaldo dedicated that entire summer to transforming himself he got much stronger faster and quicker which would elevate him to become the world's most dominant player Cristiano Ronaldo has the most unbelievable discipline and work ethic of any footballer in existence
the amount of dedication he has into putting hard work is unparalleled and inhumane almost Rio Ferdinand recalls when Ronaldo first joined the team he would put on awaits just to practice his step overs which he had never seen any other player doing before United legend - pulse goals even remembers how a young Ronaldo would always compete to be and always was successfully the first person to arrive at the training camp and being the last one to leave usually working on his weak foot or on his free-kick techniques which shows you the unreal level of dedication
to improving himself even further and competing against his teammates before he even left his teenage years additionally Ronaldo is so abnormally competitive that according to former teammate patrice evra after losing to Real Vernon in a game of table tennis he was so upset that he told his cousin to buy a table for him at home where he trained two weeks just so he could come back and beat Rio Ferdinand in front of everyone which is something very similar to what Michael Jordan has once done when he also lost a match of table tennis and trained
until he could beat all his teammates another strange thing about Ronaldo is that a lot of people say he seems to be very lucky the ball always seems to find him or he's always conveniently in the right place at the right time however the truth is that Cristiano Ronaldo has almost superhuman spatial intelligence his awareness of his surroundings his perfect timing and the way he moves off the ball and positions himself almost makes it look like he can see a few seconds into the future that's why he's always there for that pivotal tap-in or right
there perfectly waiting for the ball to come to his feet whether it's in a big pivotal game or your simple league match somehow someway Ronaldo always just seems to be in the right place at the right time it's no coincidence or maybe the football gods have just bossed him with some insane luck Ronaldo is without a doubt the most athletic player to ever play football and no one comes close like I mentioned before he's always been a physical specimen but his relentless hard work has transformed him into a superhuman Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the
fastest footballers in history with a recorded speed of 33.6 km/h also amazingly Cristiano Ronaldo's vertical jump is an astounding 78 centimeters or 31 inches which is 7 centimeters or 3 inches higher than the average NBA player which is absolutely ridiculous Gary Neville's reaction to Ronaldo's goal against Chester United in the Champions League back in 2013 says it all when you add that amazing speed and insane jumping ability event combine it with the incredible spatial intelligence to just know where the ball is gonna be and have perfect timing and positioning you get the formula for the
most dominant aerial player in football history at the making of this video Ronaldo has scored 105 goals off of headers alone and nobody comes close some strikers don't even have over a hundred shots on target in their careers Ronaldo is impossible to stop in the air and many teams especially Atletico Madrid have learned you can never let your guard down from a cross or a corner when he is around when all those aerial abilities are not the only superhuman thing about him although he's not a naturally ambidextrous player like davon via for example Ronaldo has
trained his left foot to strike just as powerfully accurately and reliably as his dominant right foot Ronaldo has scored a hundred and six goals from his left foot alone which is more than some star strikers have in their careers with their dominant foot ever since winning his first bell on door and leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid Cristiano would go through another transformation but it was different from the one Gary Neville talked about in 2006 this time Cristiano Ronaldo would evolve from a superhuman to cyborg as his unmatched work ethic and inhumane competitive Drive would
continue to push him forward until where I believe in 2015 at the age of 30 he finally completed the evolution from man into machine at the age of 30 you had superstars like cacao and Ronaldinho already declining but like fine wine Ronaldo has gotten better with age at the age of 30 Ronaldo had the best goal scoring season of his career with 61 goals across all competitions having the most consecutive 50 plus gold seasons in a top five league for a record six years in a row he's even managed to win an additional two Bell
on doors and three consecutive Champions League titles between the ages of 30 and 33 the vist just shows you the machine-like durability and longevity of Cristiano Ronaldo to still be at his peak level of performance at such an age where you have other superstars heading into China or the MLS to end their careers in fact in the 2018 World Cup in Russia Cristiano Ronaldo had clocked an ace burning speed of 40 kilometers or twenty-one point 11 miles per hour which was 6.4 kilometers or 1 point 11 miles per hour faster than his top speed recorded
back in 2017 he also became the oldest player to ever score a hat-trick in the World Cup when he did it against Spain which me witnessing live on TV was incredibly unbelievable to see how he was still continuing to break records at his age believe it or not according to Cristiano Ronaldo's the Aventis medical report his body is the biological equivalent of a 20 year old professional player he has just 7% body fat while your average footballer has 10 to 11 percent and he has a muscular mass of 50 percent which is 4 percent more
than your average football professional the sheer amount of dedication focus and hard work it takes for him to sustain himself at such a high level for 12 to 13 years and Counting is just insane and totally surpasses human capabilities no normal human can achieve the amount of success he has but still work every day like he's yet to achieve anything almost machine-like even now at 34 years old and you ventas he continues to amaze and is still playing at a world-class level Ronaldo has spent millions to take care of his body and keep himself in
the best shape possible he avoids alcohol hires a personal nutritionist doctor physiologist and chef to be with him at home and wherever he travels he also invested into installing a cryogenic therapy chamber at home to help him recover from any fatigue and be at the best form possible although he's three goals behind the Serie leading goal scorer he's played five less matches and has the highest goal scoring ratio in the league with Oh point seventy three goals a game Cristiano Ronaldo is also currently two assists behind the leading assist leader but has played four less
games making Ronaldo statistically the most efficient player in Syria if Ronaldo can overcome the three goal difference he has with Fabio Quagliarella in the last month of the serious season he will become the only player in history to receive the Golden Boot in three different top five leagues after all he's already become the first player to ever win the Premier League La Liga and Serie A titles and if you want to see if Cristiano Ronaldo might actually do it then I've partnered up to bring you guys a special 7 day trial for ESPN plus where

of the description to start your free 7 day trial with ESPN Plus anyways shameless product placement aside I know Ronaldo and events are out of the Champions League which he's been so dominant in for the past 4 out of 5 years but still seeing him overcome that two to zero deficit against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 by scoring a hat-trick was amazing and again just completely blew my mind when happened also all five of events is his Champions League goals in the knockout stages this season have come solely from Ronaldo himself which is
absolutely ridiculous seeing as the man is 34 years old hopefully we see Ronaldo in perfect health and good form for as long as possible because even superhumans or machines sadly don't last forever we have to appreciate his greatness while he's still around because truly we probably will never see anyone like him ever again so make sure you do check out that ESPN Plus free 7-day trial if you want to appreciate him even more all jokes aside I think this tweet I saw from Joey cran says it best if an artist created the perfect footballer it
