Ronaldo Nazário spoke for the first time about the legendary private parties he organized during his career. The former striker of Cruzeiro, PSV, Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid, Milan, and Corinthians revealed anecdotes from his life that he had kept secret until now.
"I was at all of them. I would go to train on Mondays at 10:00 in the morning after the party. I played on Saturday, then traveled to Paris, spent Sunday there, and at night organized the party. At seven in the morning on Monday, I took a plane to Madrid, arrived at 9:00, and went straight to training. I did it many times," confessed the Brazilian, 48, on the Brazilian streaming Charla Podcast.
Ronaldo explained the theory he applied during his professional career: "In the city where you play, either you throw a party at your house or you sign your death. So I diversified and traveled. I was always into organizing events, setting up high-level things. I made sure everyone had a good time," he recounted.
The time a teammate drank a 10,000-euro bottle of wine he had bought
Il Fenómeno recalled an episode with Vampeta, his teammate at Inter Milan. "He stayed at my house, and I had a cellar with 100 bottles. I went to Brazil, and when I returned, he had drunk everything. In two weeks, he finished all the wine bottles and kept looking for more. Until he found a very special one," he began to tell.
"It was a 1976 bottle, my birth year, which I had bought at a restaurant in Paris for 10,000 euros. It was an expensive wine that I intended to keep for its symbolic value. He and his friends, in my apartment, opened the bottle and served the wine in plastic cups. He said it was warm and put ice in it," he recounted.
