01:31 >> Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really delighted and
01:42 excited to welcome you all to this historic event.
01:46 The unveiling of the Portuguese star and the world's greatest footballer,
01:52 Cristiano Ronaldo, as another player here at Marsool Park, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
01:58 Welcome, Cristiano.
02:00 >> Thank you.
02:00 >> Thank you.
02:01 Well, yes.
02:03 >> [APPLAUSE]
02:08 >> Announcing this historic transfer,
02:12 your new club stated, this is history in the making.
02:17 This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater
02:22 success, but inspire our league, our nation, and future generations,
02:29 boys and girls, to be the best version of themselves.
02:33 Cristiano, [FOREIGN] Saudi Arabia, welcome to Saudi Arabia.
02:36 >> Thank you. >> Your new home and to another,
02:39 your new team.
02:40 >> Thank you. >> So
02:41 you conquered Europe, now a fresh new start in Asia.
02:46 How does it feel to be here in Saudi Arabia?
02:49 >> Well, so far feeling very good.
02:52 I'm so proud to make this big decision in my life, in football.
02:59 As you mentioned before, in Europe, my work, it's done.
03:04 I won everything.
03:07 I played the most important clubs in Europe.
03:10 And for me now, it's a new challenge, as you mentioned, in Asia.
03:14 I'm glad for that Al-Nasr give me this opportunity to show and
03:21 develop not only for the football, but also for the generation,
03:27 the young generation, the women's generation as well, for the young boys.
03:32 And for me, it's a challenge, but in the same way, I feel very, very happy and
03:37 very proud.
03:38 >> Definitely, and absolutely ready.
03:40 What excites you and also your family who are here already with you about your
03:45 new future in Saudi Arabia?
03:47 >> They are happy as well.
03:48 When I take my decisions, my family, they always support me,
03:54 especially my kids.
03:56 [LAUGH] >> God bless them.
03:57 >> And my wife as well.
03:58 But it's good, they are very happy.
04:01 The welcome yesterday was amazing.
04:03 We feel good here.
04:06 So there are people that are lovely with me and with my family, so
04:09 I'm really proud.
04:10 >> You already felt it.
04:11 Well, Cristiano, you have always been ambitious.
04:17 What are you hoping to achieve on and off the pitch in Saudi Arabia?
04:22 >> As I told you before, for me, this is a great opportunity not only in football,
04:28 but also to change the mentality of the new generation.
04:36 As nobody knows, but I can say now I had many opportunities in Europe,
04:43 many clubs in Brazil, in Australia,
04:50 US, even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me.
04:55 But I give the world to this club for
04:59 the opportunity to develop not only the football,
05:03 but the other part of this amazing country.
05:06 And for me, it's a good challenge.
05:08 I know what I want, and I know, of course, what I don't want as well.
05:11 So for me, it's a good chance to change, to help with my knowledge and
05:16 my experience, to help to grow many, many important points.
05:22 Also, a woman that many people probably don't know,
05:26 but Al Nassar, they have a woman's football as well.
05:29 And I wanna give a different vision of the country, of the football,
05:35 the perspective of everybody.
05:37 So this is why I took this opportunity.
05:42 >> Amazing, respect.
05:43 >> [APPLAUSE]
05:50 >> Frankly speaking,
05:52 did Saudi performance at the World Cup and
05:55 the fact that all the players are in SPL really helped in
06:01 convincing you doing the move and joining Saudi football?
06:05 >> Many people speak and give the opinions, but
06:10 they really did not know nothing about football.
06:12 As you know, the football now, probably the last 10,
06:17 15 years, they are different.
06:18 All the teams, they are more prepared.
06:20 All the teams, they are ready.
06:21 If you see and you give the example of World Cup,
06:24 the only team who won the champions was Saudi Arabia, don't forget that.
06:30 >> Yes.
06:30 >> And you had many surprises.
06:33 So Korea, for example, the African teams, Costa Rica, for example,
06:38 they did a good job.
06:39 It's not easy to win any games today because the teams, they are prepared.
06:43 The football, it's different.
06:45 The evolution of football is different.
06:47 So for me, it's not the end of my career to come in South Africa.
06:51 This is why I wanna change.
06:53 And to be honest, I'm really don't worry about what the people say.
06:57 I took my decisions and I have responsibility to change that.
07:04 But for me, I'm really, really happy to be here.
07:08 And I know the league is very competitive.
07:11 The people don't know that as well, but I know because I saw many games.
07:16 And what I want and I'm looking forward, it's to play.
07:20 And I hope to play after tomorrow if the coach is a good chance.
07:27 But I'm ready to enjoy it, to still play football and enjoy the people.
07:32 >> We're really excited to see you on the pitch as well.
07:35 Well, one thing, we all agree on this.
07:39 This is a unique signing, but some people have criticized your move here.
07:44 I know you don't care as you just mentioned, but I want your thoughts on this.
07:49 >> I'm a unique player, so it's good to come in here.
07:54 I beat the old records there, so I wanna beat a few records here as well.
07:58 So for me, it's a good chance.
08:00 As you say, this contract is unique because I'm a unique player as well.
08:03 So for me, it's normal.
08:05 >> Great.
08:05 >> [APPLAUSE]
08:10 >> Amazing.
08:12 >> All eyes on Real, and the world is watching you now.
08:15 What is your message to all your fans in Saudi and around the world from here?
08:21 >> It's simple.
08:22 I come in here to win, to play, to enjoy,
08:25 to be part of the successful of the country and the culture of the country.
08:34 And I'm here all together with Al Nassar, with my coach, with my president,
08:38 and the old people from Al Nassar.
08:41 And what I want is to enjoy, to smile, and play football.
08:45 >> Amazing.
08:46 Thank you.
08:47 Thank you, Cristiano.
08:48 >> [APPLAUSE] >> And ladies and gentlemen,

14:40 >> For sure.
14:41 >> Well, Coach Rody, you managed hundreds of players in your managerial career.
14:47 How do you think working with the world's best player would add to your team?
14:52 >> First of all, I'm very surprised about a lot of people in the press conference today.
14:59 >> Of course.
15:00 >> Normally after the game, there is three, four journalists.
15:03 Today, I don't know why there is-
15:05 >> This is a new era.
15:06 This is a new era.
15:07 >> So please, every game, everyone is welcome to come after the game to speak about-
15:14 >> Great.
15:15 >> Cristiano's goal.
15:18 No, Cristiano is one of the best players in the world.
15:21 In the story of the football, he's a legend.
15:24 So it's an honor for sure for me, but also for Al Nasser to welcome Cristiano.
15:32 And I am sure that for Russian Saudi League and also for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
15:40 it's really a fantastic thing that Cristiano is coming with us to play.
15:48 >> Well-
15:49 >> And I think in my life I've ever seen that great, great players like Cristiano are the most simple player to manage.
16:01 Because there is nothing I can learn to Cristiano.
16:05 We will share our experience.
16:07 And like he said, we are here to win.
16:11 Nothing else.
16:12 >> Great.
16:13 You once said you want to coach Ronaldo.
16:16 Here he is right next to you.
16:18 >> Yes, we will have time to speak about a lot of things, but about the most important thing,
16:24 and the most important thing is here, is green, and we need to train, and we need to win, and we need to play here.
16:31 >> Absolutely.
16:32 How do you see him, Cristiano, impacting football beyond just Al Nasser, but also on the league and the wider region?
16:42 >> Yeah, he is an example.
16:45 Everyone knows that.
16:47 So my goal, my objective for Cristiano is make him happy.
16:54 And I want him to enjoy playing with Al Nasser and winning with Al Nasser, just that.
17:00 >> Yeah, it's all about enjoying through that.
17:03 Thank you.
17:04 Thank you, Rudy.
17:05 Wishing you, Ronaldo, and the rest of the team great success in the future.
