Cristiano Ronaldo is having a fantastic moment in Saudi Arabia and at Al Nassr, but not only is he scoring goals and shining, but he is clearly happy and enjoying the league and the country. In fact, he himself has confirmed it.

"My expectation was a little different, to be honest, I expected to win something this year, but it's not always the way we think or the way we want, sometimes we need passion, consistency and persistence to achieve the best things. I still believe that next year we will improve a lot, let's say that in the last 5 or 6 months, the team has improved a lot, even the league, all the teams improved"

On the other hand, now some words from Lionel Messi have gone viral where, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, he mentions that Major League Soccer is a "minor" league: “I am aware that I went to a minor league, but as long as I feel that I'm fine and I can continue contributing things, I'm going to do it. Today the only thing I think about is getting to the Copa América well and hopefully being able to fight it again, if we are champions... Time will tell if I am or not, it is a reality that I am going to arrive at an age that normally is not enough to play in a World Cup," Messi mentioned in the last few hours, when asked about his moment in the North American league.

What else did Messi say?

“It seemed that after Qatar everything was over and I was retiring, but today the opposite is true, I want to be here more than ever. After spending so many years suffering, today that we are living a special moment that I have never experienced, I want to enjoy it," to which he added: "There is a very united, very healthy group and I want to take advantage of it, without thinking about 2, 3 years that in football is a lot. I'm not thinking about the World Cup nor do I say 100% that I won't be there because anything can happen. Due to situations, the most normal thing is that he is not there, but after the Copa América, it is likely that things are going well for us and it is possible for us to continue,” referring to his present with the Argentine National Team.
