Cristiano Ronaldo hits back at those criticizing his big-money move to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Nassr

Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a swipe at critics of his lucrative move to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo, who has a deal with the Saudi club which will make him the highest-paid player in the history of the sport, said those criticizing him know nothing about football.

He said;

“Many people speak and give their opinions but they really do not know nothing about football. As you know football now, probably the last 10-15 years it is different, all the teams are more prepared, more ready. So for me it’s not the end of my career to come to [Saudi Arabia], that’s what I want to change. So I really don’t worry about what the people say.”

Also addressing reporters at his unveiling ceremony yesterday, January 3, Ronaldo stated that he received plenty of other offers from clubs around the world before deciding that Al-Nassr was the best place for him to continue his career.
