Cristiano Ronaldo has not been kind to La Liga and spoke on Tuesday about the impact of his arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo obviously likes Saudi Arabia. Tuesday evening, despite the friendly defeat of his Al-Nassr team against Celta Vigo (0-5), the Portuguese international took stock of his situation and spoke of his influence on the choice of several important players of the European championships, to join the Saudi Pro League. Having fun seeing the reversal of some jackets, the former Real Madrid was not kind to La Liga either. Notably.
” They criticized me when I joined the Saudi League. And now what happens? I paved the way… and now all players come here. Cristiano Ronaldo has set himself up as a precursor to the new trend which has seen players such as Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté in turn commit to the Saudi league while playing for big European teams.
UEFA contradicted
For the Portuguese, quoted by AS“ it’s not like UEFA says, it’s not just the veterans who come. This year, high quality players like Jota and Ruben Neves have arrived. And the fivefold Ballon d’Or to evoke the level of the different championships. Stating that for him, ” the door to Europe is closed“, he judged that ” La Liga has lost in quality » and that « the only championship which is at an ever higher level is the Premier League ».
As for the Saudi Pro League, CR7 is confident for its progress in terms of quality of play. For him, it is obvious that in a year, it will be possible to compare it ” at the Turkish and Dutch championships“.
