Why does Cristiano Ronaldo always wear long sleeves when playing?

Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) is having top matches with his teammates at Euro 2024. The male player has turned 39 years old, so Euro 2024 is likely to be the last major world tournament he participates in.

The Portuguese star is expected to continue leading his teammates to glory this season.

In addition to his versatile attacking style on the pitch, Ronaldo is also noticed by fans for always wearing long-sleeved shirts when playing. According to talkSPORT , this clothing trend has been applied by the superstar for many years when leading the clubs Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.

As a fashion enthusiast with a stylish taste in clothes, CR7 feels that long-sleeved shirts help him stand out more on the field, creating a distinctive look for himself.

Appropriate and comfortable competition attire is also an important factor for Ronaldo to choose long-sleeved shirts. The long sleeve design, hugging his arms, helps him limit injuries.

Goal news site said that the long-sleeved Nike jersey that Ronaldo wears has the effect of compressing the muscles in his arms, increasing blood flow to help him recover and protect his arms from impacts as well as scratches and bruises when hitting the ground after "collisions".

Occasionally, soccer stars choose short-sleeved shirts when playing in countries with extremely hot weather.

However, in tournaments where Ronaldo wore short sleeves, he did not achieve high results. Even at the end of Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 , Ronaldo's image only remained in the hearts of the audience with tears of regret.

At Euro 2021 , wearing short-sleeved shirts, Ronaldo and his teammates could not overcome their opponents Belgium to win a place in the semi-finals. However, CR7 continued to advance thanks to his amazing achievements on the field.
