Cristiano Ronaldo: Initially Deemed Crazy for Saudi Move, but I'm a Pioneer

During a pre-match press conference for the European Cup qualifiers, Cristiano Ronaldo stated, ""Criticism is normal; which league hasn't faced criticism? Where is there no problem, no controversy? It's the same everywhere, Spain, Portugal... I know, and I still say this, everyone said I must be crazy, but that 'crazy' wasn't that crazy. Playing football in Saudi Arabia is now perfectly normal. As a player for Riyadh Victory, I understand the role of playing football in Saudi Arabia, which can change a nation's and football's culture. It's an honor to have outstanding stars at Riyadh Victory, and that makes me proud. I am a trailblazer, and I take pride in that. What I want most is continuous improvement so that I can become world-class."""

Indeed, he is a trailblazer. Two hundred million dollars a year, a winner in life.

The key question is, why do those people have the right or qualifications to call him crazy? I feel they might be the ones with mental issues.

There always has to be a trailblazer, right? Now, they're all heading to the Saudi league together.

It's noticed that those called "crazy" often turn out to be big winners. Just look at Elon Musk as another example.
