January 04, Ronaldo attended the press conference for joining Riyadh Victory and accepted
interviewed.
The host asked Ronaldo: "We want to hear the truth, Saudi Arabia’s performance in the World Cup, and whether the players in the Saudi League really persuaded you to join Saudi football? Many people have expressed their thoughts, but we want to hear
Your words."
In this regard, Ronaldo said: "As you said, today’s football may be different from the past ten or fifteen years. All teams are more prepared. Look at the World Cup, Saudi Arabia is the only
Teams that beat the championship. Don’t forget the surprises of those years, like those African teams, Costa Rica, they did a great job. It’s not easy to win anything in football these days because they are all preparing and football is evolving.
So for me, coming to Saudi Arabia is not the end of my career."
