Cristiano Ronaldo has effectively answered his critics once more. At the age of 39, the football icon continues to make waves in the sports world, demonstrating that age is merely a figure.
Now part of Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese forward has responded to those skeptical about his transition to the Middle East.
Ronaldo’s Response to Critics
In a recent promotional clip for Netflix, Ronaldo confronted those who insinuated that his move was motivated solely by financial gain.
“They claim I’m done and that I’m only here for the cash,” he remarked. “But my passion remains strong. I came with the intention to win and improve the league. My goal is to leave a lasting legacy.”
Since his arrival at Al-Nassr in 2022, Ronaldo has been in phenomenal form, netting 74 goals in 85 games and exhibiting the same drive that propelled him to international stardom.
Despite skepticism surrounding his departure from Manchester United, Ronaldo remains adamant that his priority is success above all else, rather than merely financial incentives.
Contract Situation
Having already secured a title in the Arab Champions Cup, where he scored twice in the 2023 final against Al-Hilal, Ronaldo continues to seek further triumphs in Saudi Arabia.
With his contract approaching its conclusion next summer, there is much speculation about whether he will extend his stay in the Middle East.
Ronaldo’s objective is clear: to defy his critics and solidify his position as one of football’s all-time greats, with the ambition of reaching 1,000 career goals.
