“Saudi Arabia needs players like Cristiano, like me, like other footballers who came here to bring European experience. We have to show the local kids what it takes to be able to go to other clubs. The country is becoming more open. People treat each other with more respect. I really like this place,” Benzema said.
About the “cold” greeting on the field with Ronaldo: “We talked in the stands. We hugged, talked. We don’t need to do it again on the field. Why repeat it? We respect each other a lot, we’re fine. We don’t need to show anything. We learned a lot from each other. People act as if we need to play on camera. It’s not like that. We respect each other. On the field, everyone is focused on their work.”
It was previously reported that Ronaldo is claiming the title of King of the Middle East in 2025.
