Ronaldo’s joining is like a bright light, like the “sunshine” shining on Saudi Arabia, which can make Saudi Arabia appear more in the spotlight.
Saudi Arabia has a goal of “Saudi Arabia 2030” (hosting the World Cup).
Are you surprised that Ronaldo joined Riyadh Victory?
Renard: Not at all, Saudi Arabia is one of the few places in the world that can attract many international celebrities, both in sports and culture.
Saudi Arabia has enough money to afford these signings.
Victory over Argentina in the World Cup was a huge win for Saudi Arabia, and so was the arrival of Ronaldo.
As the head coach of the Saudi national team, did Riyadh ask for your opinion on signing Ronaldo successfully?
Renard: No, not at all.
In today’s world, how many players can have such a huge influence as Ronaldo?
There are not many people, such as Mbappe and Messi.
They considered the publicity and image implications, maybe nothing more.
