Even opposition players thank him, the positive impact Cristiano has on Saudi Arabia that makes him great

Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr was questioned by many, but the Portuguese striker did not care because he wanted to try something different and make an impact in another country and area. After playing at the highest level for many years in Europe, his arrival in Saudi Arabia had a significant impact on Saudi Arabian football. The league itself has brought many talented footballers from the best leagues in Europe, and many fans are paying more attention to the league. Ronaldo is thanked by his teammates at Al Nassr for joining the league, but even opposition players are thanking him for joining the league. Muralha from Al Arabi Saudi Club in the Saudi First Division League spoke about the impact Ronaldo has on Saudi Arabian football that has helped him and his team. Muralha said, "He [Ronaldo] changed the training schedules in Saudi Arabia. Cristiano Ronaldo changed that. He put training in the morning, forced the Arabs to sleep early to train in the morning and get better performance on the field. His influence was not limited to the field only.”

Ronaldo's teammate at Al Nassr, Talisca, also praised Ronaldo recently, which makes CR7 a great football. Talisca said, "Cristiano is a great leader inside the club. Off the field, he is amazing. He always wants to win, and that motivates us. Sometimes we feel sad, he pulls us aside and talks to us. He deserves to be our leader."

Talisca agrees with this statement and says, "Cristiano is a very passionate person. He scored 50 goals this season, and he is 39 years old. He is different. He's one of the people who trains the most, and he's one of the people who arrives early and leaves late at practices."
