The former coach of Olympique de Marseille does not at all share Cristiano Ronaldo’s point of view regarding the French championship.
“The Saudi League is no worse than the League 1. The Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue 1, I can say that after a year there. We are already better than the French championship now. They can say whatever they want, I know what I’m saying. It’s my opinion. ».
This outing by Cristiano Ronaldo last week caused Ligue 1 players to jump. Coaches, consultants and players did not hesitate to criticize the five-time Ballon d’Or winner after this clear-cut opinion. And if the current coaches of the French championship do not hide their annoyance, other renowned technicians who have worked in the French elite have contradicted CR7, like Jorge Sampaoli.
“High level players”
For the Argentinian, Ligue 1 has nothing to envy of the Spanish Liga. “ They are two different championships but Ligue 1 seems more exciting to me today, explained Sampaoli in an interview with L’Equipe. When I was there, there was Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé at PSG, Lucas Paqueta at Lyon, very high level players and great teams, like Rennes or Lens. When I arrived in Seville in 2017, we took French players like Wissam Ben Yedder, Clément Lenglet, because they have the talent, the quality. The French can impose themselves everywhere. »
