'Especially for the development of football, sport and culture in Saudi Arabia' theSun theSundaily SaudiArabia Ronaldo𓃵 Pele AlNassr
A handout picture released by Saudi Arabia’s al-Nassr football club shows Al-Nassr’s new Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo holding the club’s number seven jersey ahead of his unveiling ceremony at the Mrsool Park Stadium in the Saudi capital Riyadh on January 3, 2023/ AFPPIX: Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club coach Rudi Garcia on Sunday compared the Portuguese star’s arrival at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia to Pele’s signing with the New York Cosmos in 1975.
Garcia was speaking on a visit the Riyadh bivouac of the Dakar Rally which is being held in Saudi Arabia and, like Ronaldo’s high-priced signing, has drawn criticism that the country’s leaders are “sportswashing”, or trying to deflect attention from the kingdom’s human rights record. “We must have gone from 800,000 to 10 million in a few hours, a few days, because of Cristiano’s arrival.”
