Clegg: 'Before C.Ronaldo, Giggs was the best athlete'.
Previous Red Devils manager Mick Clegg claims Ryan Giggs was the best sportsman before Cristiano Ronaldo: 'CR7 can play until he is 41.'
Clegg filled in as
Manchester United's quality and wellness mentor during the
Sir Alex Ferguson
period.
“Before Ronaldo, the best athlete in terms of work on his body was
Ryan Giggs
,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“He was the strongest, the most attentive to details. If Giggs played at United until he was 40, Ronaldo can play till he is 41.
“Cristiano was the only one able to go beyond the high standards of Giggs,” he added.
With a goal against Andorra on Wednesday, The Juventus and Portugal superstar turned into the
fourth-best scorer
of all time and now he is just 59 goals short to reach the untouched best scorer Josef Bican.
“He will score more goals than Becan,” Clegg said.
“
Ronaldowill change his way of playing, maybe his role too, as it happened with Giggs. He’s going to stay close to the top because he’s obsessed with being the best ever.
“He trains a lot, he takes care of recovery and sleep, he has a cook, he knows how to avoid stress.
“He is attentive to details, this is the secret even if an injury can always arrive, it is not 100% predictable."
