His off-the-pitch habit forced Florentino Perez to recruit special security to help curb his partying ways.

Speaking on the Spanish TV show Universo Valdano, quoted by Tribuna, Ronaldo said:

"Florentino would put those of his own security at the door and you would haggle them all the same. "Some of the security employees were partying with me.

"It was a wonderful time at Real Madrid and the city of Madrid is the best combination of club and city that you can find.

"There is a legend about it all, more than what it really was. Sometimes I maybe partied too much, but it wasn't really like that.

"I've always been very responsible and I've always tried not to hurt my body. Yes, after winning matches I did like to celebrate... and since we always won that was a problem. But there is much more to the legend than the reality."

Meanwhile, three times world footballer of the year, Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, says his former teammate at Brazil, Romario, will take him out at late nights and return in the morning so he takes his place in the starting line up.

Ronaldo and Romario were teammates in the early nineties and was a member of the Brazil team that won the 1994 World Cup as an 18-year-old, although not a starter.
