Cristiano Ronaldo denies contracting with Ottavio from victory

Even without using it, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the microphones after the match at the Algarve stadium and faced the possibility that Al-Nassr might have already reached an agreement with Porto player Ottavio.

“It’s completely untrue. I’ve been stabbed, but nothing has been finalized. Al-Nassr already had 10 or 15 players who said they were going there and nothing has been seen yet. We know we’re going to reinforce, that’s obvious, but we’re not going,” the striker said. “We don’t have any concrete players yet,” he said, also referring to the appointment of coach Luis Castro.

“We are making a good team, we have a Portuguese crew that makes us very happy. Of course I am happy with the arrival of Luis Castro,” he said.

Regarding the training that the Saudi team is doing in Algarve, Ronaldo believes that it was “very positive”. “Things were going well, we trained a lot, in great conditions. We were preparing. The pre-season is always a difficult time, but it is part of it, to keep fit and start the league in the best way,” stressing that the Saudi championship will be very interesting. .

“We are concerned not only with Al-Hilal led by Jorge Jesus, but with all the good teams that the Saudi league has. I already said six months ago that the league will grow. It will be very competitive, given the huge number of players. They went there.”
