The coach of the Saudi club “Al-Nasr” Rudy Garcia compared the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo with the Brazilian Pele. Fox Sports reports his words.
“It [трансфер Роналду] a bit like Pele coming to the USA. This is especially true for the development of football, sports and culture in Saudi Arabia. It’s great,” Garcia said. The coach noted that the Portuguese is more than a player, one of the best players in the world.
Ronaldo signed with Al-Nasr on 30 December. The agreement is for two years. The salary of a football player, taking into account commercial payments, will be $ 200 million a year.
Three-time world football champion Pelé died on December 29. The cause of death of the 82-year-old former athlete was the failure of internal organs against the background of progressive cancer. From 1956 to 1974, Pele played for the Brazilian Santos, after which he moved to the American New York Cosmos, where he played from 1975 to 1977.
