Ronaldo Training Six Hours A Day For Comeback

By -
Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo has been following an intense recovery program to ensure that he is ready to play against Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese attacker has reportedly been training for six hours every day, in a specific fitness regime in order to recover from the injury problems that have plagued him for the majority of 2014.

"I’ll be ready for the derby,” Ronaldo told AS, when asked about his fitness.

Ronaldo suffered a knock to his back in the Spanish Supercup and has been out of action ever since. He is now in the process of preparing himself for the tough season ahead at Real Madrid by exercising in the swimming pool, doing weight training in the gym, combined with physiotherapy work and by spending time on the pitch.

However, his training program seems to closely resemble that of a player that is doing pre-season training, which Ronaldo missed out on due to the injuries he picked up when playing injured for Portugal in the World Cup.

The idea behind this regime is both to prepare the star for the derby match on Sunday and also to avoid playing the Portuguese on an intermittent basis, which happened last season after he played several games while still carrying knocks.

Ronaldo will be hopeful of returning to full training by tomorrow or Wednesday. Real Madrid will face Atletico on September 14 in the Santiago Bernabeau at 20:00

Although tribal marks are becoming extinct because of the extant laws that forbid parents or anyone from marking a child’s face, tribal marks in the olden days were interesting features used to adorn the faces.

Gerald Mellin left a note with his funeral wishes, the inquest heard A depressed businessman going through a divorce decapitated himself by tying a rope to a tree and driving away in his open-top car, an inquest has heard. Gerald Mellin, 54, of Neath, showed the rope to his 33-year-old wife two weeks earlier when he had asked her to quit their business and their farmhouse. He cancelled his life insurance and ran up debts because he wanted to leave her "with nothing," the hearing was told. Swansea coroner Phillip Rogers recorded a verdict of suicide. Mr Mellin's widow Mirrielle told the hearing she had won a court order the day before her husband's suicide for an extra £100 a week from him to help with the running of the house.
