The Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nasr, confirmed that he did not feel any pressure when he moved to Saudi Arabia, noting that football in the kingdom has changed because of him..<\/p>\n

Ronaldo’s conversation with former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand came via his official channel on “YouTube”\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, there was no pressure during the transition, I was not under any pressure, I didn’t feel any pressure,\u201d Ronaldo said via his YouTube channel \u201cUR Cristiano\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me the pressure is people who are exposed to wars, who have no food, who deal with gunshots at night, that’s the real pressure,\u201dhe stressed.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo added: “the feeling of pressure was zero, of course you have other issues to think about like,’ Does this make sense? \u201c Will it work out on a professional level But to be honest, I felt free”\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI showed my level wherever I play, I knew that I would show my level there (in Saudi Arabia) too, I would improve the league, and I knew that the players would follow me,\u201dhe explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that the players would follow me, not only financially, which is the main point you can say, but also because of the football culture,\u201dhe added.<\/p>\n

“I knew that the Saudi football culture is beautiful because I have friends who have played there before, and there were Portuguese coaches there.<\/p>\n

“Of course, if you ask me, do you expect big stars to move there so quickly?” No, but I was expecting that football would change because of me, I believe in myself, not only in football but in other areas as well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
