Ronaldo, the iconic Brazilian forward, made a memorable appearance at San Siro during the Champions League play-off match between Inter Milan and Bodo/Glimt, but he was unprepared for the question posed to him by his former coach, Fabio Capello. The atmosphere was electrically charged, especially with Inter’s urgent need to overturn a 3-1 defeat from the first leg. This event was not just a football match; it was a celebration of the club’s history, with legends like Ronaldo and Christian Vieri being honored with commemorative shirts.
Ronaldo, who has always been a special figure for Inter fans, could not hide his emotion at being back at San Siro. “It’s wonderful to be here, to feel the excitement of these fans, who are so important to me,” he declared to Sky Sport Italia. He emphasized the influence that the crowd could have on the team’s performance: “These fans can also do their part and help Inter win tonight.”
However, it was Capello’s question that truly captured everyone’s attention. The coach, who managed Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid, asked a seemingly simple question, but one loaded with history: “How much do you weigh now?” Ronaldo’s response, filled with humor and a touch of irony, was clear: “Still with the weight? Not anymore!” The laughter that followed was contagious, not only among the panelists but also among the fans watching.
Capello, who did not hide his affection for Ronaldo, reminisced about the past, revealing that he weighed the player daily during the 2006-07 season in an attempt to keep him fit. “Ronaldo was the most talented player I ever worked with, but in terms of lifestyle, he left much to be desired,” said Capello, bringing to light a more personal and relaxed side of their relationship.
While Inter seeks its redemption on the field, Ronaldo’s presence and his light interaction with Capello only add to the narrative of a night that promises to be memorable. Fans are hoping for an exciting turnaround, and with such iconic figures present, the hope is that the magic of football can shine once again at San Siro.
