Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo has come out to say that he is hungry for more titles. He recently had his say on his two-year anniversary with Saudi Pro League side, Al Nassr, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he and his family are very much happy in Saudi Arabia, and since they started their new life in the beautiful country, it has been an honour to play in a league that is growing with several star players.
Ronaldo added that to have been the first football star to join the league is a massive honour.
His words, “I’m happy and my family is happy. We started a new life in this beautiful country. Life is good, football is good.
In terms of individual and collective, we are still there; we are still improving.
For me, it is an honour that the league is growing and many star players are coming to make the league even better and more competitive. To be the first one — let’s say a star — to come here is an honour, but what I’m looking forward to is the next five to 10 years of the league still improving. Not only the first teams, but also the academies.
Not just for the future of the Saudi [players] and the league, but for the country and to compete with other leagues, this is my dream. And this is what I will try to help the country and league reach and be there at that level.
People look at Cristiano as an example, not just on the pitch, but also off it.
You know, when you win titles, things come easier, and to have the privilege to win in my first year here my first trophy was amazing,” Ronaldo said. “But I want more. I will continue to push and help my team Al Nassr to win titles. I believe that this year will be a good year for Al Nassr.
It’s hard to compete with teams like Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, but we are still there, still pushing and fighting. Football is like that; you have good moments and bad moments but, for me, the most important thing is to be professional, to push hard, respect the club, respect your contract and believe that things will change — for Al Nassr to try to win more titles.
The [AFC] Champions League is something I want to win for the club, but the most important is to keep pushing and be professional.”
