Jorge Jesús has made fun of Cristiano Ronaldo by reminding his Portuguese partner who has not yet won an important trophy in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, who turned 40 last week, has enjoyed a race full of cutlery, winning seven league titles in spells with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, as well as five crowns of the Champions League and Euro 2016 2016 With your country.
Add five gold balls and maybe I can understand why Ronaldo sees himself as the best player of all time.

However, the success in Saudi has avoided it so far, after its transfer to Al-Nassr in 2023.
The former head of Sporting CP and Benfica Jesús has done better, returning for a second spell in Al-Hilal in July 2023 and quickly winning the Pro League title.
All Ronaldo has achieved is barely recognized champions of the Arab Club.
Jesus full of admiration for Ronaldo
Despite that, Jesus is still a great admirer of Ronaldo and what he has done for the game.
He told Channel 11: “We don’t have time to meet in Saudi Arabia. We were already friends in Portugal. I met him more times in Portugal than in Saudi Arabia. It is a reference, the pride of the Portuguese.
“The first time I got here, they knew Ronaldo, not Portugal. The advertising fences in the middle of the city only showed Ronaldo, and that was six years ago. In Portugal, they do not value it so much because of the image it brings. ”
‘He has not won anything in Saudi Arabia’ yet
Jesus, who is now 70 years old, accepts that it is unlikely that he will drive Ronaldo since both come towards the end of his careers, and could not resist some excavation at the expense of the striker.
He added: “Working with him? I don’t think it’s possible. It is an example at 40. In one of the last games we played, I said ‘How does so much at 39 that is fast and super motivated?’
“Nothing is missing. He has won everything in sports terms, the only thing that has not been is a World Cup winner with the national team, and has not yet won anything in Saudi Arabia! “
Al-nassr is third in the Pro League, six points behind Al-Hilal in second place. Ronaldo and Co are the next in action on Thursday when they face Al-Ahli.
