Cristiano Ronaldo praises Saudi league and guarantees: “I will not return to Europe”

Shortly after debuting in the pre-season of the Al-Nassr taking a big hit, Cristiano Ronaldo gave an interview in the mixed zone and spoke about the strength of the Arab league and its plans for the future. On the occasion, the Portuguese compared where he plays with the MLS (North American league) and guaranteed that he will not return to European football.

“I’m not going back to European football, the door is completely closed. I’m 38 years old, and European football has lost a lot of quality… the only valid league is the Premier League, it’s way ahead of all the other leagues“, said the player putting an end to speculation that he could leave his current team.

In addition, Cristiano also made a point of exalting the quality of the league he plays in, once again. The striker recalled that he opened his doors at the beginning of the year for professional teammates to travel to the country, which has worked, and guaranteed that Saudi Arabian football is better than that of the United States.

“Saudi League is better than MLS. I paved the way for the Saudi League, and now all the players are coming here“, completed the athlete who saw his team thrashed 5-0 by Celta de Vigo, from Spain. It is important to note that the result began to be built only after he left the match.

Now the Al-Nassr team continues its pre-season, where it will still play with Benficain Portugal, before going to Japan to face Paris Saint-Germain and the Inter Milan, current Champions League runners-up. In addition to Ronaldo, other well-known Brazilian footballers are on the team, such as Talisca and the technician Luis Castro.
