Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi championship, expressed sharp criticism regarding the state of the league following a recent match. After a 2-0 victory against Al Ahli, the Portuguese superstar addressed the public, drawing attention to negative trends within the championship.
Ronaldo noted that there has been an increase in excessive complaints and sharp reactions among players and those around them recently. He believes this situation is not characteristic of football:
“Everyone is complaining, there are too many overreactions. This is football, not war. Of course, everyone wants to win, but not everything is allowed,” he said.
The experienced striker stated that he would provide more detailed thoughts on this subject at the end of the season. According to him, the situation in the league is becoming enriched with many negative instances. Some players are regularly voicing objections regarding referees, league management, and the overall project.
Ronaldo assessed such an environment as wrong and reminded that the Saudi championship is striving toward great goals. In his opinion, if the league truly wants to compete with Europe's leading championships, internal culture and relations must first be at a high level.
“If we want to be one of the best leagues in the world, we must set an example. We need to stop this situation, analyze it, and have an open dialogue with the league leadership. Because this is already going beyond ordinary football,” Ronaldo added.
In short, the Portuguese star is paying serious attention not only to the field but also to matters of order and culture within the football environment. His statement may serve as a signal for changes within the league.
