Could it be the failure of his transfer to PSG a few years ago? Cristiano Ronaldo's resentment towards Ligue 1 seems surprising, even disproportionate. Already interesting last year at the level of L1, the Portuguese had destroyed the French championship.
This time, during the ceremony of Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), CR7 has hammered the point home. According to him, L1 is not at the level of the Saudi Pro League… A finding that is difficult to believe when you see the level of some of the players in this championship. There are stars from Europe or South America. And the others.
« All there is in France is PSG. The others are finished. » Before continuing on the subject of climatic conditions: « Players should come and play there. Try sprinting in 38, 39, 40 degree heat, sweating… Come and play here and you will see.«
Everything is explained when we know the ambassador contract that Cristiano Ronaldo signed when he arrived at Al-Nassr. Once his contract is over, that is to say next summer, we can't wait to see if a backpedaling is possible...
Ligue 1, via his Spanish account on X, did not remain without reacting.
A post showing a photo of Leo Messi, the eternal and legendary rival of the Portuguese, with the trophy of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has caused a sensation. Especially since the comment is in good taste: " Messi when he plays in 38 degree heat". The reference is validated. The wink, just as much.
