Cristiano Ronaldo was officially presented at the "Al-Nassr" club on Tuesday evening. He was greeted by a crowd of thousands of fans, and there was also a special press conference.
The football icon shared memorable quotes.
"In Europe, my work is done, I have won everything. This is a new challenge," - started the Portuguese player at the press conference.
"I had offers from Brazil, Portugal, the United States, Australia. But I gave my word to the 'Al-Nassr' club."
"I am a unique player. I have broken all records, and I promise to do the same here because I am unique. It is normal for me. I received a unique contract because I am a unique player," the 37-year-old forward said.
Cristiano Ronaldo also boldly stated that he has bigger tasks in Saudi Arabia than just football: "This is not the end for me. The Saudi Arabian league is very competitive. I know people don't understand that. I am not here just for football. I want to change people's mentality and how they view football in Saudi Arabia."
'Al-Nassr' coach Rudi Garcia recently admitted that he would have preferred to see Lionel Messi in his team, but at the press conference, he spoke very positively about his new player.
"Cristiano is one of the best players in history. It is an honor to have him in our team. Cristiano is an example, everyone knows that. My goal is for Cristiano Ronaldo to be happy. I want him to enjoy playing with 'Al-Nassr' and winning with the 'Al-Nassr' team," said the experienced strategist.
