After declaring that the Saudi league was better than MLS and would overtake the Turkish and Dutch championships in a year, Cristiano Ronaldo was reframed on American television by an ex-MLS player.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s statements were quick to react. While the Portuguese, pioneer of the exodus of football stars to Saudi Arabia, believes in particular that “The Saudi league is better than MLS”, which his eternal rival Lionel Messi has just joined, a former player of the American championship replied to him sharply. Having become a consultant on CBS Sports, Michael Lahoud, a former Sierra Leonean international who played for Chivas and Philadelphia in MLS, judges that “Ronaldo smoked way too much shisha! It is ridiculous to think that in one year the Saudi championship will be better than these championships. And then when we hear this statement from Cristiano Ronaldo after that of Lionel Messi, who talks about bringing world football to the gates of North America during the 2026 World Cup… He is 38 and a half years old but he is always focused on what concerns Messi.”
The list of big names is growing
Ronaldo was also happy to have “paved the way for the Saudi league. And now all the players come here, he appreciates. In a year, more and more top players will come to Saudi Arabia. In a year, the Saudi championship will overtake the Turkish championship and the Dutch championship”. An ambitious prediction, even if it is true that the list of big names to join Saudi Arabia is growing day by day. Riyad Mahrez and Jordan Henderson should be the next to take the plunge, thus imitating Ronaldo and soon Seko Fofana (Al-Nassr), Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté (Al-Ittihad), Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy (Al-Ahli) or even Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal).It promises…
