Cristiano Ronaldo shares his love for Soccer AM segment

Cristiano Ronaldo recently expressed his admiration for a specific segment of Soccer AM during an interview with former teammate Rio Ferdinand. The segment, known as Showboat, highlighted impressive skills and plays from the week’s football action. Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, fondly recalled his experiences with the segment, which he enjoyed watching while developing his own style of play. He acknowledged that his approach to the game evolved over time, prioritizing goals over flashy tricks. The conversation took place in the context of Soccer AM being canceled after 29 years on air, a decision that disappointed many fans, including Ronaldo. The show had transitioned over the years, originally airing from 9 am to 12 pm, and later from 10:30 am, before being replaced by Saturday Social, aimed at a younger audience. This change reflects a broader shift in sports broadcasting, as networks seek to engage new viewers through different formats and content creators.
