Former Chelsea And France's striker, Loic Remy, has weighed the debate on the controversial comments of Cristiano Ronaldo on League 1, insisting that the French “deserves more respect.” Remy, who previously played in Marseille and Lille, retreated against Ronaldo's statement that the Saudi League Pro is higher in League 1.
The ex -said that the quality of French football has improved significantly over the years. This is what he said at Plejmo.com (through the target):
“I respect Cristiano Ronaldo as a man and his career, but I think the French League deserves more respect. When I left France and returned four years later, I was surprised how much I got better. I saw a massive improvement .
The ex -premier of the Premier League acknowledged that the main parts of Saudi Arabia have been strengthened in recent years, but has remained poorly convinced about the overall quality of the league. Added:
“I can't say much about Saudi because I never played, but I think the two or three first teams could compete in France, not the rest of them.”
What did Cristiano Ronaldo say about League 1?
Cristiano Ronaldo caused controversy In The Globe Soccer Awards in December 2024 when he fired the competitiveness of League 1, claiming that the Saudi League Pro was higher.
“The Saudi Pro League is better than League 1, of course. I don't say it because I play here. I don't care what people think. Players should come here and they will see it quickly. Try to do it at 38 , 39, 40 degrees … Come and you will see it.
He also punched in the rule of Paris Saint-Germain in France, arguing that no other club could compete with his financial power.
“In France, they only have PSG, everyone else has finished. No one can overcome them because they have more money and the best players,” added the Portuguese.
Ronaldo's statements did not stand well with several figures linked to League 1, who have since questioned their position, pointing to the constant rise of French football on the European stage.
Despite the critic, the Portuguese icon is still committed to Saudi football and has meant that it has expanded its record contract with Al-Nassr. The young man, 40, continues his search for 1,000 career goals, being one of the most important names in sport, although he no longer plays in Europe.
