Ronaldo downplays French League
“Saudi League is better than Ligue 1, of course. France only has PSG. The rest are finished. ‘Try to sprint in 38, 39, 40 degree weather and see…,” Ronaldo said at the Globe Soccer Awards.
“It is difficult to become champion in Saudi. This year Al-Hilal are better, Al-Ittihad are top of the league, but I believe that we have to push hard to be champions. I’ve been champion everywhere I have (played) and I believe I will be champion, but I’ve won this trophy for scoring so many goals and assists and maintaining my level,” he added.
Speaking about his personal ambitions, Ronaldo claimed that he has plans of becoming a club owner rather than being a manager.
“Becoming an head coach or manager? No… but maybe I could become a club owner,” Ronaldo concluded.
