The guy is an absolute prick, I've lost all respect for him. Why can't he accept his decline and go out with dignity. He's obviously done the interview to force his way out of his contract in order to facilitate this Saudi move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had more grace about him then nobody would begrudge him the big money move to Saudi. But we've just had a 90 minute interview where he's destroyed his club his ex teammates and worst of all a manager who he barely knows. It's not like ETH didn't give him an opportunity to stake his claim to a starting role. He gave him every opportunity but if your not performing to the detriment of the team you shouldn't be expecting to play on reputation. He thinks he should play every minute of every game and that's simply not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's pathetic then, he's well off the pace in games and has a piss poor attitude towards anyone who questions his position on the field of play. Speaking as a fan of the club he's just done over with his baby like interview I can honestly say he's as finished as I've seen a pro and yet he still can't accept reduced playing time and being substituted. You can't tell me playing him in a third game in 10 days did him any long term favours during this World Cup. Why can't he accept to possibly be at his best for the knock outs he needs a rest? All he cares about is himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just leave it at that buddy, once upon a time I would have rated Ronaldo over Messi any day, but Ronaldo throws too many dummies out of his pram than Messi has ever done, SAF made Ronaldo for what he is, Ronaldo did not do it by himself.

Bandito Burrito 28 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Apparently Ronaldo might move to a little Saudi club next transfer window, I assume its just a rumor and it wont actually happen, is there any real proof to back it up atm?

Why America? He's at the end of his career. I would have thought that a smart sporting move would be to go back to Portugal and play for one of the top 3 clubs there. He would still be idolised there and he would be able to play very well in the Portuguese League. Ronaldo is not as good as he was a few years ago, but he's still a very good player. Lets not forget he was Man United's leading scorer last season, where he bagged a total of 24 goals. Instead of opting to play in Portugal though, he's decided to go and play in Saudi Arabia, where he will no doubt be earning a bomb for 2 years.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 He has almost officially signed for that Saudi club now, i.e retired. He had a great, long career though and did everything a player could want to. 37 is still a long career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
