He had no mercy, what Zlatan Ibrahimovic said about Cristiano Ronaldo

In the football field, a controversy has been generated by the increase in prominent players who prefer to go to clubs in Saudi Arabia, without caring about the lower competitive relevance they have compared to European leagues. This decision has provoked various opinions and debates. One of the most notorious cases is that of Cristiano Ronaldo, a world idol for his achievements. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a different vision of this phenomenon: a combination of honesty and respect for the stages that have marked greatness in sport.

Zlatan talked about everything with British journalist Piers Morgan in a recent interview. From his loves to his love for Ferrari cars, the scorer expressed himself with a sincerity that impacts the world of football. But what caught the most attention were his comments on Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to end his career, which questioned dominant opinions.

“I believe that certain players reach their highest point and need to culminate their careers in a theater of dreams, in a majestic setting. "You cannot deviate towards a lower caliber platform and end a monumental career in such a discordant manner," said the Swedish attacker. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's comment was forceful and stinging.

 He left no doubt that his criticism was directed at Cristiano Ronaldo and his recent change to a league that, despite its economic wealth, does not have the same level and recognition as the European leagues. “Some players may need that situation to accumulate a lot of money. But that is for those who have not accumulated enough throughout their careers,” he said, perhaps referring to the enormous wealth that Ronaldo has achieved in his successful football career.

He stated that money was not the factor that influenced his decision to leave Europe and join MLS side LA Galaxy. The Swede was only looking to live new experiences, although apparently he was not completely happy. “I've had offers from China and Saudi Arabia, but the question is: What do you really want? What are your goals? As I have said before, some players need to close their careers on the most prestigious stages because that is what they deserve.”
