Ronaldo writes 3-word comment on a video showing an amazing transformation in Ozil’s body
Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his support for his former Real Madrid teammate Mesut Ozil after the German shared a video of himself doing a rigorous workout in the gym.
The former Arsenal midfielder, who announced his retirement from professional football a year ago today, posted a clip on Instagram of himself using a set of ropes before pushing a heavy sled up and down the length of a gym in February.
The 35-year-old, who played at Real Madrid with Ronaldo between 2010 and 2013, commented on the video: “Always stay ready, then you don’t need to prepare.”
He also added a “sand timer” and a “100” emoji to the caption, sparking some speculation among fans that he might consider a return to football.
Despite this, it looked like a grueling exercise, with Ronaldo taking to Instagram to praise the former Germany international for his efforts.
On Thursday, the Al-Nasr striker wrote: “My brother is not bad” with a “winking face” emoji. The timing of Ronaldo’s post is also curious, considering Ozil originally posted the clip on February 13.
During their time at Real Madrid, Ozil and Ronaldo played together in 149 matches and scored an impressive 39 goals.
