“And then he went into the dressing like to the, to the gym's side. And he's like, ‘he's working out, so just come sit with me’. So I sat down with Buffon, and we were just talking.
“It was almost 30 minutes, he [Ronaldo]was not out yet. I was waiting, but it was a home game for me, so I can stay 5 hours there, I don't mind. If I finish, I'm going straight to my house.
“I was there for 1 hour. After he came out, he was sweating, and then Buffon told him, I said, Yeah, Victor, come, and he told me to come.
I went. We went to sit on the massage table. Look at this guy's lap. Look at the veins like a 25 year old. As at that time, it's what massaging was doing.
“I was standing like this.He said, yeah, come, come, come. So he told one of the physio to Take a picture.
“I took the picture. He told me, is the picture enough? I said, I want to take more. So I took a selfie with him. And I said I said, yeah, I'm good I'm good, yeah, great game.
“Just keep on going. That was what he said to me. He spoke English very fluently. And he said, just, just keep going. And I shook his hand.”
