“The Saudi Pro League better than Ligue 1? Yes, easy. What if I stand by my words? Of course. I didn’t say that because I play there, I don’t care what people say, they should come and play and see. Try sprinting at 38, 39 or 40 degrees and you’ll see. They don’t have to take my word for it, come and see. France only has PSG. The others are finished. This is my opinion, I don’t care what people say. »
It was with these ungratifying terms that Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the level of Ligue 1 last week. An outing which has not gone unnoticed in the French football landscape, including among newcomers. Winter recruit of theMarseille Olympicthe Italian-Brazilian Luiz Felipe reframed CR7 in his own way.
OM: Luiz Felipe pays Cristiano Ronaldo!
During his official presentation, the defender who played in the Saudi Pro League was categorical. “I think today all the championships are difficult. There are no more easy matches. I came to play here against Nice and Marseille, they were always difficult matches with very physical players. It’s a very physical championshipnoted the neo-Marseillais.
I think that (the fact that the Saudi championship is superior to the French) is Cristiano Ronaldo’s opinion but it is not mine. »
“I really think that here we see a championship which is developing, with a high level of attackers who are very physical. I say it as a defender, these are players who take the depth and I will have to be ready for the duels. But I really think the championship here is very strong,”
concluded Luiz Felipe. New proof, if necessary, that the OM reinforcement does not lack character.
