The Portuguese footballer and main star of Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian League, Cristiano Ronaldo, wanted to send a message of encouragement to his teammates despite not having won the championship title and stressed that there is a high level within the Middle East tournament; The Portuguese assured that this competition could become one of the best five in the world if they manage to improve some aspects that continue to present flaws.
Ronaldo stressed that if the teams manage to include new players of a higher international level and improve the infrastructure that the championship has, they could easily compete with some European leagues and even displace them in terms of sporting level.
“The league is very good, but I think we have many, many opportunities to continue growing. The league is competitive. We have very good teams, very good Arab players. But they need to improve the infrastructure a bit more. Even the referees, the VAR system… should be a bit faster. I think there are other little things that they need to improve. But I’m happy here, I want to stay here, I’ll stay here. And in my opinion, if they continue to do the job that they want to do here for the next five years, I think the Saudi league can be one of the top five leagues in the world,” he told the Saudi Pro League..
“If big players and big names come, young players, veteran players…they’re very welcome because if that happens, the league will get a little bit better,” he said.
Ronaldo also took the opportunity to express his desire to continue to be part of Al-Nassr and the Saudi Arabian League for the next season despite not having fulfilled the team’s goal of winning the championship with his signing. ; He maintained that he will work on improving his ability to fulfill the dream of the board and especially that of the fans.
“Well, my expectation was a bit different, to be honest, I expected to win something this year, but it’s not always how we think or how we want, sometimes we need passion, perseverance and persistence to achieve the best. I still believe that next year we will improve a lot, let’s say that in the last 5 or 6 months the team has improved a lot. Even in the league itself all the teams have improved ”, he added.
“Sometimes it takes time, but if you believe and believe in your goal, I believe that anything is possible. I expected to win something this year, but we didn’t… but next year I am very positive and confident that things will change, that we will go better. So, let’s create that and work on that”, concluded CR7.
