„Barcelona“ head coach Xavi does not promise an easy time for Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian league.
The 37-year-old forward, who signed an incredible contract a couple of weeks ago, has not yet made his debut for "Al Nassr", but a bright future is being predicted for him.
Nevertheless, according to Xavi, the wealthy Arabs have signed high-level footballers to their clubs, so C. Ronaldo may be unpleasantly surprised.
„He should not expect an easy career stage in Saudi Arabia - this league is very competitive“, the specialist clarified during a press conference.
By the way, Xavi is very familiar with Middle Eastern leagues as he spent several years as a player and coach in the Qatari "Al Sadd" team.
