Exiled in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo further fueled the debates this week.
Still as decisive at the age of 38, Cristiano Ronaldo has lost none of his outspokenness. The Portuguese striker, who stacks goals like pearls with his club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, did not hesitate to declare that the Saudi championship was in his eyes superior to Ligue 1.
“ The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1. The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after a year there” launched CR7. “We are already better than the French Championship now. (…) They can say what they want, I know what I’m saying. It’s my opinion “.
Ronaldo invited to come to Ligue 1!
Comments which obviously generated strong reactions, particularly in France, where the players in Ligue 1 felt offended. Coach of a Brest team considered to be the little sensation of this first part of the season, Eric Roy directly invited the five-time Ballon d’Or to play in the French championship to have a more informed opinion.
“ I invite him to come to the field. I don’t know if he would have appreciated it, thundered the Brest coach. It’s not that I don’t agree, but Cristiano Ronaldo has never played in Ligue 1. How can he give himself a standard? You must have played it. It’s his opinion, we respect it, but then there’s not much to say about it.“, concluded a very annoyed Eric Roy.
