Cristiano Ronaldo is a superstar who makes headlines even with his toenails.

British Sports Bible said on the 17th (Korea time) that Ronaldo's photo posted on his personal SNS is becoming a hot topic because of Ronaldo's claws. Ronaldo posted a photo of him taking off his top and showing off his muscles on his personal SNS two days ago.

It was Ronaldo's claws that made headlines here. This is because Ronaldo's toenails were painted with black nail polish. Sports Bible says that the reason Ronaldo applies black nail polish to his toenails is a genius. Many fans were puzzled to see Ronaldo wearing black nail polish on his toenails in a photo of him standing barefoot. Some even speculated that this style was a fashion trend that followed rock music.

But even manicuring his toenails was to get better at soccer. The reason soccer players put black nail polish on their toenails was to protect their feet from germs and bacteria. Players train in sneakers and soccer shoes every day, so their feet are bound to sweat a lot. When you sweat and get moisture in your shoes, germs become a good environment for reproduction.

Ronaldo also applied nail polish to protect his feet, which is the most important thing for a soccer player. If you have a problem with your toenails, you can have a problem when shooting, which naturally leads to poor performance. This method was a favorite foot protection method not only for soccer players but also for track and field, boxing, and MMA players.

Sportsbible explained that `Mike Tyson, a former world heavyweight champion, was also known to wear black nail polish during his heyday, and Yisrael Adesanya, a UFC middleweight champion, is said to use the same method.'

Ronaldo's self-management skills are regarded as the best in the history of soccer. Ronaldo has come down a lot from his heyday now, but Ronaldo is still Ronaldo. He is still showing outstanding competitiveness this year when he turned 40. He proved that he is still not at the level of retirement by leading Portugal to the UEFA Nations League title.

Ronaldo's slow aging is thanks to thorough self-management. Sportsbible is still showing the best skills 23 years after his professional debut, Ronaldo is considered to have lengthened his career thanks to his thorough self-management and healthy lifestyle. He maintains a high-protein, sugar-free diet, and his favorite food is brass, a traditional Portuguese dish, consisting of salted cod, onions, potatoes, and eggs. He also sheds light on Ronaldo's self-management ability.
