“Neymar is the opposite of Ronaldo. Ronaldo has more passion for football and he makes it his priority.

Neymar has more passion for other things linked to his private life, which he puts first.”

:rotating_light: Cristiano Ronaldo on the Saudi Pro League: "There are many factors which apply to improve the league. As I said before, they have many things to improve.

But I think with powerful people behind to help change a little bit the culture of football, the bad habits - I think we’re going to reach a point where the people in Saudi will be proud.

The investment there is huge. So why not believe it? In Saudi, even in Dubai, things change and the world has changed, so they deserve opportunities." :saudi_arabia:
