It may be approaching the 39 years oldbut the Cristiano Ronaldo he continues to do what he knows best, which is to score!
The Portuguese star was found in “Globe Soccer Awards”football awards handed out in a glittering ceremony at Dubaiand even won it “maradona award”which concerns him top scorer of 2023as he put 54 goals within the year.
During his speech, ‘CR7’ made his famous… not-so-modest statements while talking about the great growth of the league of Saudi Arabiawhich he described as better than French!
In detail what he said:
On the fact that he was the top scorer of the year: “I was the top scorer this season, imagine beating young players like Haaland… I’m proud. And soon I will be 39! I love it when people doubt me again and then I’m successful. Criticism doesn’t affect me.”
On his course in Saudi Arabia: “I feel so happy at Al Nasr, it’s a great move. Saudi Arabia is in a process, it will take a long time… but step by step they will go to the top level. I believe the Saudi Pro League will be among the top three leagues in the world. People in Saudi Arabia will be proud.”
For where the country’s league ranks: “The Saudi league is no worse than the French league. Saudi Pro League is more competitive than Ligue1, I can say that after spending a year there. We are better than the French league already now.”
For the Champions League favourite: “Manchester City is favorite for the Champions League with Real and Bayern. City have many chances, they deserved the trophy last year as they did two years ago. They play nice football, I like to see her.”
For when it is intended to stop: “I don’t know yet to be honest, but it will definitely be soon. By soon I mean in 10 years (s.s. laughs jokingly)”.
