Is Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal or Saudi Arabia.

According to a report by Portugal's Hekord on the 8th (Korean time), Ronaldo "Juan Felix was better off going to Saudi Arabia than playing in the Portuguese league. He made the right decision"Felix's trip to Saudi Arabia was the right decision. Hecord 'Felix negotiated with Benfica, but eventually signed with Al Nasr. After the Rio Ab match, Ronaldo praised his fellow international's decision.

Felix, once regarded as the second Ronaldo, made a shocking decision in the transfer market this summer. Felix, who was on the Chelsea release list, appeared to be returning to his former team Benfica. Negotiations were conducted with Benfica showing his willingness to return Felix.




As negotiations between the two sides approached a settlement, Al Nasr, armed with money, participated in the recruitment. Financially, Benfica was no match for Al-Nasr. Al-Nasr succeeded in recruiting Chelsea by persuading Felix to pay the transfer fee he wanted.

Al-Nasr said on his official website on the 30th of last month that 'We have officially signed a contract with Portuguese star Felix. Felix's contract is due 2027' the release said.

Felix has not succeeded in Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea, but he is still born in 1999. After showing an outstanding performance at Benfica again, he could have tried to re-enter the European big league. However, he has been criticized for giving up his ambition and choosing money when he chose Al Nasr this time. This is because he has skills other than standards to play on the Saudi and Asian stages.

However, Ronaldo argues that Felix's decision was correct, contrary to the general view. Even though he is his native Portugal and grew up playing in the Portuguese league as a child, he said he would rather go to Saudi Arabia than go to the Portuguese league. Even the comments came after Al-Nasr went to Portugal to play for the pre-season tour. Ronaldo is a Portuguese national hero, but this comment is expected to be controversial.




It is doubtful whether Ronaldo is the player who recently won the European Nations League as a member of the Portuguese national team and shed tears. Ronaldo's attitude to Saudi Arabia is actually very surprising. After re-signing Al Nasr "I'm not just here to play football. Playing for a change in the country and culture. Part of the change, I belong to Saudi Arabia. I'm Portuguese, but I belong to Saudi Arabia,' he said, making headlines as if Saudi Arabia were his second home.

Ronaldo even claims that the Saudi league is better than the top five European leagues. He said "Saudi is one of the top five leagues in the world. Only those who have never played in Saudi Arabia or do not know soccer denigrate Saudi Arabia." Ronaldo looks like a loyal servant of Saudi Arabia.
