Legendary Italian coach Fabio Capello remembered his time at Real Madrid.

The strategist returned to Spain in the 2006-2007 season and then he shared advice with players like David Beckham and Ronaldo.

It was precisely about Ronaldo that he spoke in his latest interview.

"At that time, Ronaldo weighed 94 kilograms - 10 more than when he won the World Cup.

I told him to stick to a diet, but the striker managed to lose just one and a half kilograms.

Brazil constantly visited nightclubs and other players followed his example. Rudd Van Nistelrooy had told me that alcohol was even flowing in our locker room.

"Milan" president Silvio Berlusconi always dreamed of signing a contract with Ronaldo, but I advised him not to do it.

I said that the striker enjoys parties and is always surrounded by women. Nevertheless, the next morning I woke up reading headlines that Ronaldo would go to Milan," F. Capello said.
