It is important to note that since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi Arabian club Al Nasser, he is now the most talked about player in the world of football. Although his move to the Middle East as a professional footballer attracted some criticism, Ronaldo had his reasons for it all.
Ronaldo, who arrived at his new club on Tuesday, said his career is not over and he is a different player. Social media has taken over when Ronaldo slipped his tongue during a press conference when they congratulated him on his entry into the club and now he says he came to South Africa instead of Saudi Arabia when speaking.
“For me, coming to South Africa is not the end of my career,” Ronaldo told a news conference.
“I don’t really care what people say. I made my decision, and for me I’m very happy to be here,” he added.
Ronaldo’s second season at Manchester United ended after criticism of the club, its owners and manager Erik ten Haag. He and the club later agreed to terminate the contract.
Whoops!
