Adil Rami Disputes Cristiano Ronaldo's Claims About Saudi League
Former French international Adil Rami challenges Cristiano Ronaldo's assertion that the Saudi Pro League surpasses France's Ligue 1, citing concerns about Saudi players' fitness levels.
In response to Cristiano Ronaldo's recent comments comparing the Saudi Pro League favorably to France's Ligue 1, former French international Adil Rami has expressed disagreement. Ronaldo, during the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, stated that the Saudi league is superior to Ligue 1, a claim that has sparked various reactions.
Rami, who has played for French clubs such as Lille and Marseille, countered Ronaldo's remarks in an interview with Actufoot. He commented, 'Cristiano Ronaldo may have had an incredible career, but that doesn't mean everything he says is true. Saudi players have weight issues; they consume fast food regularly. Bringing that level of fitness to France wouldn't be sustainable. He's unaware of the quality present in Ligue 1.'
Rami's critique highlights the ongoing debate about the comparative quality of football leagues worldwide, especially in light of high-profile players like Ronaldo joining leagues outside of Europe.
