Ex-Inter Milan midfielder Dalmat: Ronaldo hated being weighed

Former Inter Milan midfielder Stephane Dalmat says Ronaldo was worried about his weight during his playing days.

Dalmat admits Ronaldo always tried to avoid being weighed on orders from coach Hector Cuper.

"We had to weigh ourselves with Cuper every Tuesday and and Ronaldo never wanted to get on the scales," Dalmat told RMC Sport.

“It was a psychological issue. He didn't want to see his weight because it was something that bothered him.

“There was tension and it often ended badly. Cuper was very strict about it, but Ronaldo didn't want to know and never did."
