• It is a personal decision that cannot be judged, and from watching him inside the green rectangle with his Saudi team, Al-Nassr, he is happy, and this is what is important now.
• For a football player, there are two important factors that must be present, which are ambition and passion. I watch Ronaldo still full of desire to win and passion for playing. He is happy for victory and angry for loss. This is evidence that he is still a player who is hungry to play and win and always wants to be number one. In the world.
• What I heard from Ronaldo is that he enjoys playing in the Saudi League, and as long as he is happy, the Portuguese fans are happy too. Because I played with Ronaldo for a long time, and I am a witness to the creativity of this great star, I am also happy to live this new phase of Ronaldo’s career.

He is hardworking, full of a spirit of challenge and ambition, and always strives to be the number one player. The hidden work he does, such as taking care of his health, fitness, and readiness, gives him the energy to play at this advanced age, and helps him achieve positive results.
• Gomez talked about the experience of the Saudi League in contracting with an elite group of the most famous players in the world. The Portuguese football legend, who played 464 matches in his career with clubs, the most important of which were Benfica and Lisbon of Portugal, Fiorentina of Italy and Blackburn Rovers of England, said: “It is an exciting experience and caught the attention of international football fans.” Saudi Arabia is expected to engage in this experience and seek the help of an elite group of the most famous football stars in the world in order to develop the local competition and bring it to the levels of the major leagues. I expect this experience to yield positive results in the future.
