Football fans have noticed that the famous Portuguese national team striker Cristiano Ronaldo does not like to drink water during matches.

The veteran of the "Al Nassr" team simply moistens his mouth during the match and spits out the liquid.

According to the English press, the Portuguese does this after listening to specialists' advice.

It is claimed that C. Ronaldo consumes a special fluid with carbohydrates that activates the mouth receptors and thus deceives the brain, reducing fatigue and providing energy.

Drinking fluids can cause discomfort in the player's stomach and body heaviness. That is why it is recommended to consume fluids abundantly only before the match or during halftime.
