lose weight

because football is a complex game with a lot more to it than just "run and kick a ball"

unlike, say, American football, actual football requires players to be well rounded in as many areas as possible, to both attack and defend. But you already know this, you're just trying to troll, but I'm super bored so I don't mind

win wars

He’s not that muscular just has low bf% and good abs

desu you need a strong upperbody to keep your balance in the air, it helps for headers, also abs help a lot at keeping your upper body forward during a kick, if you have your upperbody backward when you kick the ball the ball will go straight to the moon

Getting past someone you need upper body streangth too, duels etc
Lots of pushing going around

Abdominal and lower back strenght are important for running and kicking, cristiano Also is a brand on himself so even it he dosent need it looking good helps with brand sponsorship deals

Even pure track runners train upper bodies.

whiter than you

>muscular upper body
Unironically lose weight, hit the gym, count calories and have sex.

Like I said...You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body, it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower body... No, you don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't have much as a problem. Yeah.

they literally fought against the world twice and it was close.

post body

That's not muscular, that's just low body fat %.

To hold the women down

to get more match on grindr

Based and janoypilled

He's not that muscular on the top. Save for his lats, his legs are more developed than anything on his upper body.
He's just really really lean.

what a dumb comment. so if I just lose a bunch of weight I'll look like that?

If you played sports growing up and have a good level of muscle sure, except your abs won’t be as good.

I have to respect Cristiano for not being embarassed of his body when his chest and abs genetics are that bad.

You'd look like a t-rex if you ignored your upper body. He's also not that muscular, the only thing big on him are his lats. Being strong all-around helps in any sport.

lose weight inbese

>American
>Not knowing how running works
It checks out.

>and have a good level of muscle

that's my point dumbass. it's not just low bf.

show body, fren

Yeah but it’s not a huge amount, just a bit more than average except his abs. Maybe you’d need to do weights for like 4 months or something but to get that body would be basically losing fat + shit load of an exercises.

To have consensual forced anal sex

Ab*

the real question is why does he keep taking these photos when 90% of his ig followers are arab men

this

>arab men
you mean the same culture that wraps women up in bed sheets?

tbf, specialization brought us into the modern age

The only women most Arab men are exposed to growing up are female family members. They're therefore mostly gay or incestuous. Ronaldo's clearly appealing to the prior demographic.

i disagree. soccer is something european women invented to pass the the time while the men did all the cooking.

American football is played by real men and you're jealous you werent born american

more than your lower body is required in moving fast

They would if it was ever a fair fight. Every time they get an upper hand, our mates jump in.

> wanting women to not dress like prostitutes makes you gay
have some self-respect

You run with your upper body too, retard. Look at short distance runners like Bolt. All jacked.

Why is he so creepy?

In hindsight, we should have let them win WWII.

Fuck off Nazi bootlicker. Your grandfather would be ashamed of you

No, my great-grandfather, would agree with me. The Germans had no desire to push in the Americas. They didn't even want war. Fuck off ZOG bootlicker. Everyone is ashamed of you.

Literally on the wrong side of history. Fuck off

>wrong side of history.
you are 5'4

he just has a strong core, something that is important for all athletes
his arms, chest and shoulders are nothing special, you can get that in a couple months of lifting

I could be 3 foot and still be more man than you

This. His core and legs are well developed and that’s it really. Pecs are slightly developed, delts are developed, but arms are small, traps small, and his lats just have a nice insertion that makes them look big(they looked big before he started putting on muscle)

Wrong

Core strength is very important for body control while running, changing directions, and jumping.

Sprinters are pure fast twitch. Soccer players can’t carry that much muscle and last 90 min.
