But can you guess who it is?

It is, of course, ex-midfielder Ze Roberto who enjoyed a stellar career as a player.

However, he never looked this buff and has clearly been working out religiously since retiring from the game in 2017.

He has since stunned fans on social media, showing off his hench body transformation akin to a bodybuilder.

The Samba star uploaded an Instagram video of himself during a training session in the park during the coronavirus lockdown.

Now a personal trainer, he gave an insight into how he was able to outlast so many of his former team-mates.

He told local media in the past: “I have no vices. I don’t drink alcoholic beverages, I don’t smoke, I eat very well, I sleep well.

“I have my family, which is my greatest security.

“I think those are important factors to reach the age I reached and still continue playing at a high level.”

And back in 2020 he even claimed he has a better physique than the ripped Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo.

He told TyC Sports: “Today I would say that I have a better physique, because I played until I was 43-years-old.

“If he does [play until then], I will say it is him.”

Although with Ronaldo revealing he plans to keep playing into his 40s Ze Roberto may well be forced into making the admission.
