“I can say now that there are many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, Australia, the USA and even Portugal, but I gave my word to this club,” the Portugal international said at a press conference.
Ronaldo’s contract is unique
The agreement between Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr was announced in the middle of the World Cup, which the Portuguese admitted at a press conference. “I can say now that there are many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, Australia, the USA and even Portugal, but I gave my word to this club,” the Portugal international said at a press conference. “My deal is unique because I am a unique player.” In 2009, the striker was able to gather 80,000 fans at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. On January 3, 2023, it was 30,000, but it could be 300,000 fans who would have been on the side of Cristiano Ronaldo at Mrsool Park stadium as a new Al-Nassr player.
If Al-Nassr boss gives Ronaldo a chance, he’s ready to perform even tomorrow
He arrived in Saudi Arabia to become the face of football and the country. “My work in Europe is done; I am proud of the new challenge,” he said. He was hailed as a hero and brought to Saudi Arabia to help raise the image of the country and the football league. Half an hour of music, a light show and pyrotechnics were introduced during the presentation of Cristiano Ronaldo. “The football world is very advanced, the Saudi league is very competitive, and I’m happy to be here. I’m looking forward to the game, even tomorrow, if the head coach gives me a chance,” Ronaldo confessed.
Cristiano doesn’t care what people say
After finishing all the relevant medical examinations and before putting on the jersey, the Portuguese player went to the press room. “I don’t care what people say. I came here to keep scoring goals and winning. Football has changed a lot in Arabia over the past 15 years. Much better now. Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, the World Cup champions, which shows their improvement. I want to break all records in Saudi Arabia. I came here to perform and win titles, I love the Arab culture, and I come here to bring it to the whole world,” he said. He closes the door upon returning to the old continent. “In Europe, my work is done; I have already won and played in the best clubs there, and now I want a new challenge in Asia, and Al-Nassr gave me an opportunity.”
The Portuguese also defended himself against those who doubted his ambitions: “It’s good to come here. I’ve broken all the records in Europe, and I want to do it here too.”
