Cristiano Ronaldo concedes he did not expect to finish the season empty-handed at Al Nassr but he says he is happy in Saudi Arabia and hopes other big-name players will follow him to the league for the next campaign.
Ronaldo signed a two-and-a-half year contract estimated by media to be worth more than 200 million euros with Al Nassr, making his debut in January. He scored 14 goals in 16 games but it was not enough to help his side win the Saudi Pro League title, with Al Nassr finishing second behind Al Ittihad. The 38-year-old, who missed the final matchday due to injury, said the league was very competitive but that there were many opportunities to grow.
” Ronaldo said he had adapted to life at the club, though there were many differences from his time at Europe where he played for elite teams such as Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid. “In Europe we train more in the morning and here we train in the afternoon, or night. When you start Ramadan, we train at 10 o’clock in the night. It was so strange,” he added.
