The new Portuguese training squad was announced, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading B and B Fei shortlisted, and 40-year-old Pepe was also among them. From this point of view, even in the Saudi League, it does not affect Ronaldo's participation in the national team.
Portuguese fans did not buy the decision of Portugal coach Roberto Martinez, believing that Cristiano Ronaldo, who has gone to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold, should not go to the national team to "occupy the pit". Some people say that Ronaldo is old and should be replaced, but in fact, these statements are biased.
Martinez said that Ronaldo's experience can help the team a lot, and he himself wants to join the national team, as a player who has made 200 appearances for the national team, he still plays a huge role in the dressing room.
Ronaldo is a superstar, this is undoubted, the huge commercial value cannot be ignored, where he is, the ratings will increase, this is the superstar effect. Tickets, jerseys, these are all hard indicators for business. At present, Ronaldo is still the holder of the Champions League goalscorer, and many records Messi has not broken. Although Messi is now more energetic and has won 43 titles, Cristiano Ronaldo is still proud compared to players other than Messi.
Ronaldo's condition and body are going downhill, but his mental attributes will not waver, and he is like a big brother in the national team and can play a leading role. Influence, personal ability, team spirit, these all need him, others can not replace. Although he left the top five leagues, this does not mean that he has lost his place in the league. Even if he doesn't start and can't play the full 90 minutes, he can still continue his career for a few years.
There are too many fans of peerless double arrogance, and many post-80s and 90s generations have grown up watching their matches, so Ronaldo's charm is still there.
After joining the Saudi League, the Saudi outside released news that they could become the world's top five leagues. In view of this, Ronaldo specially released news on social platforms, inviting Messi, Benzema, and Modric to join, and he typed the words "very welcome".
Messi is currently Saudi Arabia's tourism ambassador and his father is also his agent in Saudi Arabia negotiations. Cristiano Ronaldo's former Real Madrid team-mates Benzema and Modric are also seen as seeking lucrative transfers at the end of their careers. In an interview with Saudi TV, Ronaldo said: "If they come, it will be very popular because if that happens, the Saudi league will improve." The league is very good, but I think we still have a lot of opportunities to continue to grow. Saudi Arabia has very good teams, very good Arab players. ”
Asked when he said at the press conference when he joined that he wanted to win the championship and break the record, but did not win a trophy this season?
Ronaldo said that it was a little different from what he expected, and to be honest, he wanted to win something, but things didn't always go the way you expected. Sometimes we need patience, perseverance, and perseverance to achieve good goals.
Subsequently, Ronaldo said that he is very happy here and will continue to stay here, if the Saudi management continues to improve the details here, improve the referees, VR system shortcomings, the next five years, the Saudi league can become the world's top five leagues.
