It Was Easier To Score In La Liga Than In Saudi Pro League – Ronaldo

Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he would be as prolific a goalscorer in the Premier League as he currently is in Saudi Arabia. The Al Nassr captain has finished as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League in the last two seasons.

According to him, playing for a top club in the EPL would guarantee him lots of goals, so people should stop saying he scores because of the league he is playing in.

Ronaldo added that it was actually easier for him to score in Spain’s LaLiga than in the Saudi Pro League.

His words, “Year by year, I score more.

Even in a bad year [when Al Nassr finished trophyless], I scored 25 goals. If I played the Premier League, now in a top team, I will score the same! If I had a good team, at 40 years old, I will score the same.

I don’t need to speak because they can say whatever they want, but the numbers, they don’t lie.

They say things about the Saudi league, but they have never been here, they never play here. They don’t know what [it is like] to run in 40 degrees [celsius]. They don’t know. And I still continue and I repeat the Saudi League, it’s much, much better than Portuguese League, of course.

French league is only PSG. Premier League is good, of course, is the number one.

Ask the other players if the league is good, don’t ask to me because it’s easy to ask me because I’m always saying that ‘Ah, Cristiano saying that because he plays in Saudi’

No, no. I’ve played everywhere. Everywhere. For me, it’s more easy to score in Spain, than to score in Saudi.

You learn with experience, with time. What makes a difference is that you can improve all the time, even at my age. This is the big mistake of the players, they think they know everything and they don’t learn anymore. Players think they know everything and after a certain age they slow down. I keep learning. I have scored more goals after 30.”

WOW.
