ANCELOTTI HAILS RONALDO'S RESTRAINT

Carlo Ancelotti has praised Cristiano Ronaldo's professionalism, using a curious example to demonstrate the Real Madrid star's dedication to his football. The Portugal international spent two years under Ancelotti's wing at the Santiago Bernabeu, and lifted the Champions League together in May 2014 before the coach was removed from his post 12 months later. And Ancelotti was struck with his charge's attitude to training - although Ronaldo might not be too happy with the anecdote chosen.  The newspaper reveals that the star would stay at the Real Madrid training base until 3 am taking an ice bath: "Even though he had [model and former partner] Irina Shayk waiting for him at home," Ancelotti laughed.  "He does not care about money, he just wants to be the first." Girlfriend-ignoring forwards aside, Ancelotti added that not all players shared Ronaldo's fanatical attention to detail.
