According to physical trainer Moraci Sant’Anna, Ronaldo weights 90.5 kg, only 500 grams above the ideal weight for a 1.83m-tall man. “He was up to 95kgs but now he is close to his ideal weight”, the doctor told Globo News TV.
“When Ronaldo joined the team he was 5kg above the perfect weight for a player with his complexion and height”, explained Sant’Anna. In the 2002 World Cup, Ronaldo’s weight was 86 kg and in 1994 it was 75 kg.
The problem of Ronaldo’s weight had recently reached a new level when Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva enquired about the state of the player’s fitness just before the World Cup started.
The physical trainer blamed the different injuries Ronaldo suffered with the Real Madrid for his weight problems.
