Cristiano Ronaldo has small rituals that would happen for nothing in the world.
From the height of his 40th anniversary in 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to impress the world of sport by his physical capacities and his aura always so strong. Always engaged with his club in Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese selection, he even aims for a final participation in the World Cup in 2026.
But who says big champion, necessarily says small specific habits and rituals. We all know and all the little habits of Rafael Nadal on a tennis court, we may know a little less those of Cristiano Ronaldo on outside the lawn. And yet, some are very amazing.
When traveling by bus or train, the Portuguese, for example, has habits that should not be disturbed. On the bus, the former Real Madrid legend systematically takes the places at the bottom, all, without exception, you should not have fun sitting next to him because he will make you understand. To have these places, the Portuguese still enters first and releases the blow systematically last. It’s his rule.
Cristiano Ronaldo has another superstition in the same genre, but this time on the plane. He also takes the counter foot of the bus since he always wants to go out in the first position of the plane. He also takes the first places on the aircraft, unlike the bus.
And it doesn’t stop there. Portuguese also has small rituals before meetings. He notably leaves his crampons for about twenty minutes in hot water before each match. He also returns to the lawn for warm -up by making a small sprint just to get into legs, then uncheck a huge strike from the entrance to the surface.
You can make fun, but know that the rituals are very important and not only for Cristiano Ronaldo. In general, having rituals is a way of reassuring, as sociologists explain. Also a way of rationalizing our daily life. “We all need to create routines because they freed us from having permanently making small decisions”recently explained Salvador Juan, a sociologist, for Radio France.
