Gentsu reveals everything to you.
This Friday, December 27, the Globe Soccer Awards 2024 ceremony took place. For this event,
Cristiano Ronaldo is in Dubai to attend. But before receiving a potential trophy, the football star took part in a question-and-answer game alongside Thibaut Courtois. On this occasion, the presenter reminded
CR7 the comments he made last year about L1 to find out if he had changed his mind. When she asks if the Saudi Pro League is better than L1, he replies:
Easy, of course. I'm not saying that because I play there. I don't care what people say. Players should come and play there. Try sprinting in 38, 39.40 degrees, sweating… Come play here and you'll see. You don't believe me, come on. I don't care what people think. All there is in France is PSG. The others are finished. The others are playing, ok, but PSG are stronger, they have better players. It's a fact. I don't know why people are surprised.
Cristiano Ronaldo attacks Ballon d'Or organizer
And definitely, Cristiano Ronaldo had things to say during this ceremony. Indeed, after destroying the level of Ligue 1, the Al-Nassr star attacked the choice of giving the 2024 Ballon d'Or to Rodrito the detriment of Vinicius Junior :
I like to compete against young people. It's motivation. I like to be compared to them, their speed, their shooting, even their form. They're not in better shape than me…it's a joke. Bellingham, Lamine, Vinicius… They are fantastic. Vini had to win the Ballon d'Or, it was unfair in my opinion and I say it here in front of everyone. They gave it to Rodrigo, who deserved it too, but I think Vinicius should have won. He won the Champions League and scored in the final. When someone deserves it, you have to give it to them. You know, these galas always do the same thing, that's why I love the Globe Soccer Awards, they have to keep doing this gala which is honest.
