The Only 14 Minutes You Need To Outwork Everyone | Cristiano Ronaldo Motivation

Go back to the gym, work, because you have more to show. You understand? Life continues. You cannot live in the past. I'm really good on that, you understand? I learned by the years that, listen, Cristiano, let's go. Because pain, you're going to have all the time, uncertainty, and constant work. Constant work, constant work. It doesn't matter what's going to happen in your life, you have to continue. This is the way I see the life, and football especially. I give you the map. You are willing to do that? Yeah. It's the main point, because everyone wants to be Cristiano, but I give you the map. You think you will do it? It's difficult. It's the discipline. The discipline is the most difficult thing, not only in the sport, but in the life. I'll mention again, the most important thing is to have a routine, consistency, not obsession. Good. Don't be like Cristiano, because Cristiano is crazy. Okay, but 20%, 25% is too much? Yeah, be more consistent. Yeah, it's a little bit. Come on, make effort in your health. It makes sense. As you say, and I will keep repeating, the consistency is the most difficult thing. Just doing it every day? Yes, every day. Do you ever wake up and you say, I don't want to do it today? I fight against my mind, yes. Sometimes it happens. We are all human beings. We are not happy every day. We are not in a good mood every day. It's normal. It's part of us. What do you do to overcome that? I fight against that. It's the big challenge. It's when you're not willing to do something, but you have to do it. I think it will be bigger than me. Let's see if he has the same anger. The anger is the most difficult. They live in a different era. I can see my kid, they are 12 years old. Their mentality is not the same. They are not suffering. What's the difference? The anger. I think they have things more easily. Everything is easy. They don't suffer. And I think they don't care. I don't mean only a few in Manchester United, but all the teams, all leagues in the world, the youngest, they are not the same as my generation. But we cannot blame them, because it's part of life, the new generation and the new technologies that distract them from other things. But they are not the same. They listen, but this is why we have two ears. You listen from one side and they go away from the other side. This is the main point. This is why I say our mind is a box of surprises and you have to challenge yourself to be consistent. I repeat, sometimes it's hard. It's what many people say. You like to go to the gym every day. Of course not. It's not true. Nobody likes to go to the gym every day. But you have to do it. Probably yes, because your mental strength is coming from that. From that moment, that in a hard moment, you know you should do it. And I do it, because after that, maybe in the beginning you feel hard to start, but after when you finish the gym or cold plunge or even the training, you will feel better. How often do you train each week? In the gym, on the pitch? I do it. I do it not every day. For example, in the gym, I cannot do it every day. If you go to the gym every day, you're going to be tired in the game. So you have to do the balance. You know, in life, it's all about the balance. And with the age, you start to understand that the most important thing is you know 100% your body and training smart. You have to be yourself. It doesn't matter if people like it or not. You think I'm going to change now? Our Christian self is always... I'm going to change now. You think with nearly 40 years old, I'm going to change? Of course not. Oh, you like me or you don't like me? It's part of the life. For me, it's not a problem. In the national team, it was like that. People say, ah, he's done, he's 39, he's getting old. You know why? Because they didn't score the goal. And the rest, and the past... In qualifiers, you scored like 10 goals. 10 goals? And before the Euros, I scored two goals against Ireland. But this is part. It's real. Even if I will score in Euros, not we will change what Cristiano are. You understand? People try to hide stuff and speak bad. Listen, I don't score. No problem. Tomorrow, I will play against the national team and I will try to score. If I don't score, next game, I will try to score. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Year by year, year by year, I score more. Even in a bad year, I score 25 goals. If I play in Premier League now, in a top team, I will score the same. Or the last season you played. Last full season. Easy, easy. If I have a good team with 14 years old, I will score the same. Your last season in the Premier League, full season, you got 18 Premier League goals. One below Harry Kane or the same as Harry Kane and six Champions League goals. Any team would take a strike. I don't need to speak because they can say whatever they want. But the numbers don't lie. They can say Saudi League. They've never been here. They've never played here. They don't know what to run with 40 degrees. They don't know. And I still continue. I've never looked shy. Never. And you know me, since young, I'm not shy away. I'm not that scared. I have cramp. Which is this, I understand. Some people, they don't want to shoot penalty because they don't feel confident. It's okay. I respect that. But Cristiano, never will do that. Never. Even if I miss, one time, I will shoot the second time. If I lose the second time, I will shoot the third time. I'm not afraid. Are you the best footballer in the world right now? I think so, yes. In my mind, I'm always the best. I don't care what the people thinking, what they say. In my mind, not just this year, but always. I'm always the best. I'm always going to say that. Because I think we have, the thinking, we are the best in our area. So, in my area, I think I'm the best. I think, and tell me what you think, that the consistency and the discipline is what takes someone who's high talent and makes them truly great. What do you think? Any sport. Yeah. Any job. I think it's part of the life. It's like that. Who told you the opposite? They are not part of this world, in my opinion. If you want to achieve successful, it's the only way. You've probably seen a lot of footballers, athletes. I see everything. Everything. Not only sports. Any job. Is the same way. The same. If you are not consistent more than other ones, if you don't do it, add something more than other ones, you're never going to be number one like me. How much has Lionel Messi pushed you to become a better player? And the second part of that question, would you say that you two are the best players of all time? Better than Pelé, Maradona? I'm pushing myself. I don't need other players to push myself. I just work since I was in sporting, so I push myself all the time to be the best. As I say many times, in my opinion, I'm the best because I think we have to think like that. Not just in my job, but you have to think in your job if you are the best reporter. And I'm thinking like that. If I'm not thinking like that, I'm not going to be stronger than I think I am. To be in my shoes is not easy, but I'm not complaining. I just want to say that I feel happy. All this happened because of a reason. The reason is I'm unbelievable inside the pitch. This is why the people have so much interest in me. Maybe someone doesn't like me, but because maybe I'm too good. I don't know why. If you start today, you're going to have benefits in the future. It doesn't matter the time. What is important is what you want to achieve. Yeah. What you want. You want to live a good life? Yes. I like to drink. I like to eat a burger. Okay. You're going to pay the bill in the future. The most important thing is the consistency. If you have consistency, you're going to be good in the future or you're going to be better than other ones in the future. For example, you arrive home, you had a lunch, you do a quick nap, and you wake up, you play with your kids, and I have to go to the gym at least 30-40 minutes, but this will make the difference in the end of the day. You understand? If you don't do that work, you miss one. The next day, it's two sessions that you lost. And I know in the end of the day, in the end, they're going to make a huge difference. This is why I'm 34 and I look 28. Why we don't believe that we can do it better? We have to believe. We have to be positive to try to change things, you know, to play as Manchester United fans want and the history of the club. This is why we have to, we're not going to give up. You know, the only give up is the guys who is weak mentally. This is why I mentioned in the beginning, you're here, you have to implant that in your mind that we are capable to change things. Now, I don't know the specific way because I'm a player, I'm not a coach, I'm not the president. I know the way, but as you know, I'm not going to mention here because I think it's not ethic from my part to say that. What I can say and what something that we are in our control let's, we can do it better. All of us. And if that is a collective, what could you... individual, everyone. And what could you achieve then if you get that? Big things, that Manchester belong in important things. So, we have to change that. I don't want to be here in the club to fight to be in the 6th place or 7th place or 5th place or, you know, I'm here to try to win, to compete. Cristiano Ronaldo, Joshua, would like to know what's the biggest key to your personal success? It's hard. Of course, talent without work is nothing. Perfect. I'm going to just leave that like that. It's part of me, but if you don't work the talent, you're never going to achieve that things that I'm achieve. So, I try to do my things to improve myself in the training, specifically in the games, because this is the most important thing. I always try to improve something season by season. Since when I was young, I always learned if you give, God is going to give you the double. So this is what's happening in my life. Since I started to do that, everything in my life become better and better, so I will still carry on to do that because I think it's important and I feel good when I do that. What is your key bit of advice to the next generation in terms of making it to the top and staying there? Believe. I think you should believe in everything. And of course, the rest is the dedication, the hard work, listen to people who know more than you, who have more experience than you and believe in your talents. I think it's the main point. When I was 18, 19, 20, some old players speak with me but I put that as Cristiano, you have to improve. They know more than you, they have more experience than you, they passed through many bad moments but the other people, they don't accept that. If you criticise, I don't say this generation, our players, but in general, I have kids, I know. Sometimes when you be a little bit harder, they do the opposite. You have to find the right balance to speak with them but in my opinion, the main point is they should come from inside you. You should be proud of yourself and look in the mirror and say, listen, I give everything and I think all of us, we should do that because new year, we change the page, we have many things to win. We have to believe on that, if not, it will be a nightmare.
