Cristiano Ronaldo Isn't Slow at Running

Hey, haters. Ronaldo can probably beat you in a footrace.

Cristiano Ronaldo is like a deer. He's lithe and toned and is generally seen as a nuisance to the natural world. But he is also quick like the deer. Like, absurdly quick.

In Tim Howard's book, Howard, a former teammate at Manchester United, extolls the virtues of Ronaldo's obsessive practice habits, and it shows. As a teammate, if there's only one way to tolerate the most annoying player in the history of the game, it's by recognizing that he is, in fact really fricken good.

I mean, his teammates are snapping at the neck throughout the entire training exercise just to catch Dude sprint. Dude's got a better first gear than a Lamborghini Aventador.
