You are reading the first-ever post with Cristiano Ronaldo quotes, and we start with the quote that describes him best.
“This contract is unique because I am a unique player. It’s normal for me.”
@ Cristiano Ronaldo (1st Press Conference on Al-Nassr)
Yes, I’m against modern football, where money seems to mean everything for footballers, but I can’t really blame Cristiano Ronaldo for this move.
Why? Let’s take a look at his career before he decided to move to Al Nassr:
Ballon d’Or (5 times), FIFA World Player of the Year / The Best FIFA Men’s Player (3 times), UEFA Men’s Player of the Year (3 times), European Golden Shoe (4 times), FIFA Puskás Award (1), Premier League Player of the Season (2 times), La Liga Best Player (1), Serie A Footballer of the Year (2 times), UEFA Champions League winner (5 times), Premier League winner (3 times), La Liga winner (2 times), Serie A winner (2 times), FIFA Club World Cup winner (4 times), UEFA Super Cup winner(3 times), FA Cup winner (1), EFL Cup winner (2 times), Copa del Rey winner (2 times), Supercopa de España winner (2 times), Coppa Italia winner (1), Supercoppa Italiana (2 times), UEFA European Championship winner, UEFA Nations League winner.
Not enough? Okay.
All-time leading goalscorer in professional football history.
All-time leading goalscorer in international football.
All-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.
All-time leading goalscorer for Real Madrid.
Only player to score in five different FIFA World Cups.
By the time he left European club football for Al-Nassr, he had scored over 800 official goals for club and country.
He is not just a talent – he is also a smart player, and after his second period at Manchester United, he quickly realized that today’s top clubs are focused mainly on results. They don’t need legends; they need machines that score goals. So he decided to move to a league where legends are still valued – players who can score like machines, even if not too often.
