The World Cup play-off
draw has thrown Portugal and Sweden together, meaning next summer's
tournament will be without either Cristiano Ronaldo or The Mighty Zlatan
Ibrahimovic.
In the race for a World
Cup place, C-Ron appears to have the advantage: not only is he surrounded by a
better team, but he will be chilling out in his very own Cryotherapy chamber up
until the November play-offs.
According to Spanish
paper EI Mundo, the Real Madrid star has been enjoying bi-weekly
Cryotherapy sessions at a luxury gym near his home in the La Finca suburb of
Madrid. The chamber, which is roughly the size of a shower cubicle, exposes the
body to temperatures that come close to -200°C (-328°F) for two to three
minutes, with the intention of stimulating muscle regeneration to aid
post-match recovery. Essentially, it's a very fancy ice bath.
El Mundo note that the chamber
can make a person feel calmness, pleasure or even euphoria thanks to the
endorphins that are released by the extreme cold. Some compare the sensation to
sex, which may be why the Portuguese star has become "hooked" on the
sessions and has decided to install his own private chamber.
Ronaldo's giant sex
machine will cost him €45,000 ($61,500) plus regular visits from the liquid
nitrogen delivery man. He may also receive regular visits from Franck Ribery,
as the Bayern Munich star is also a fan of "releasing his
endorphins"...
