Ronaldo sings odes to the Saudi Pro League! Step by step, he will reach the highest level. It will definitely be one of the top three leagues in the world, he said

Cristiano Ronaldo has had a year in Saudi Arabia. He has been performing well and scoring goal after goal. At the Globe Soccer Awards, he once again praised the local league and talked about how he is happy to be doubted by some fans.

The Saudi Pro League is not currently being played. Saudi Arabia’s top football competition will not return for action until mid-February. Cristiano Ronaldo has had a phenomenal year and will be looking to build on it. However, his Al-Nassr is second in the table.

He is seven points behind first-placed Al-Hilal, despite having other elite footballers in his squad besides the star Portuguese. Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles and Aymeric Laporte are worth mentioning.

Although some names have opted to return to Europe, we can find a large number of stars in the squad, which supports some of Ronaldo’s statements. The latter pioneered the Saudi Arabian route and his contract includes promotion to the local league.

That is why we constantly see his odes to the competition. At the Globe Soccer Awards, he once again got carried away and made some statements that are quite controversial in football society.

“The Saudi league is not worse than Ligue 1. In the year I’ve spent here, I can say it’s more competitive,” Ronaldo said. He says he has a lot of confidence in the league for the future.

“I feel really happy in Al Nassr. The Saudi league is in the process and it will take a long time, but step by step it will get to the highest level. It will definitely be one of the top three leagues in the world,” he added.

Although Ronaldo is in his advanced football age, he is still scoring goal after goal. He is pleased to have been able to shut up some doubters who have written him off for good.

“I was the top scorer this year. I beat young guns like Haaland and others. I’m proud of myself, and I’ll be 39 years old. I like people to doubt me again. It makes me successful. I will not be influenced by criticism,” he concluded.
