Ronaldo Defends Joao Felix Against Criticism for Joining Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo has fired back at critics who questioned João Félix’s decision to join Al Nassr.
Félix completed a summer move to the Saudi Pro League club in a deal worth £26 million, with add-ons that could take it up to £43 million, after ending his spell at Chelsea. The transfer caused debate, with many wondering why a 25-year-old in his prime would leave European football for the Middle East.
Since making the switch, Félix has hit the ground running. He scored a hat-trick on his debut for Al Nassr and has already provided an assist in just five appearances.
Despite this, Portuguese podcast Chuveirinho recently criticised the forward’s choice, suggesting it was a step down. Ronaldo, who shares the dressing room with Félix at Al Nassr, was quick to respond. Commenting on a clip from the podcast on Instagram, he wrote:
“Idiots don’t understand anything about football, yet they still give their opinions.”
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
