"Eric was very similar but Cristiano was still on another level from that. Eric did go out and practice but he wasn’t so much a gym person.

"I’ve never seen a more professional person.
"He was out there all day long, practicing those free kicks, his speed, he was sprinting up hills, he had weights on his ankles.''
