00:00Of course, since day one, I have a commitment to make change, not only in Almazar but in
00:29a country too.
00:34So this is my goal.
00:35Of course my goal is always to win something important for Alisar and of course I still
00:39believe in that.
00:43This is why I renewed for 2 years because I believe that I will be champion in Saudi Arabia.
00:53As you mentioned, I had some offers to play World Cup, but I think it didn't make sense
00:57because um I prefer to have a good rest, a good preparation because this season will
01:01be very long because this is the season of the World Cup in of the season.
01:09So I want to be ready not only for Alisar but also for the national team.
01:16So this is why I decide to play the last game for the Nations League and to listen to nothing
01:20and of course to be in this club which is I love it.
01:26Amazing!
01:34Of course, we're still improving, but I believe that at this moment we are in the top 5 already,
01:39but I still believe that we continue to improve and we have time and we show the last 2 years
01:43enough that the league is it's going up all the time.
01:48So I'm happy because I know the league is very competitive.
01:52Only the people who never play in Saudi, they don't understand anything about football and
01:56say this league is not in a top 5.
01:59I believe 100% in my words and the people who play in this league they know what I'm talking
02:03about.
02:09So this is why I want to stay because I believe in the project on not the next 2 years but
02:14until 2034 which is the goal and all will be the World Cup in Saudi Arabia which is I believe
02:19to that will be the most beautiful one ever.
02:27So I'm happy 2 more years I want to fight with the best teams in Saudi to win the league
02:31I believe.
02:33And let's see at the end of the day who is better.
02:39Amazing!
02:45This is why I will stay 2 years as a football player but also for a lifetime because my contribution
02:50to this country is not only for football, it's for everything.
02:57So I want to be part of the growth of the country forever.
03:02And of course the fans or the role of the fans is very important in my decision because
03:06I know the people love me.
03:09I love Saudi people and I want to continue to give to these people because they always
03:13support me.
03:14They are always on my back.
03:16And as I said before, what I want is to win something important for this club.
03:21Not only the Kings club, Kings club that we won at the beginning of 2 years ago, but I believe
03:26that we have the potential to win more important things.
03:37Of course, we are not happy for what's happened last season.
03:42It's normal if we are competitive and if we are a winner, we know that what we did last
03:46season is not enough.
03:49But it is already past.
03:51We have to focus now on the present.
03:53The present is good.
03:55We change.
03:56We are going to change so many things.
03:58The project I believe in the project.
04:00I believe in ALAR.
04:01I believe in the fans.
04:03The past is past.
04:04Let's be positive.
04:05Let's think positive.
04:08Let's think that this season will be our best season ever.
04:12And um the past is past.
04:15We don't recover what's happened before.
04:18Now we have to believe in the present.
04:20The present I believe that this season we're going to do it amazing season and we're going
04:24to win something very very important.
04:28And of course the supporters should be on our sides because with them we're going to
04:31be stronger.
04:33So let's be positive and believe.
04:40Well, my my family always support me.
04:45It doesn't matter which decision I take on not only here in Saudi Arabia but all the decisions
04:50that I took it before with Juventus, with Manchester United, Real Madrid.
04:57So they are the most important thing if your family supports you and my family always supports
05:01me in my decisions.
05:04So for me it's it's the most important.
05:06If they are happy, I'm happy, and they are happy in Saudi.
05:10We do it a good life.
05:12The Saudi people treat us very very good.
05:15This is why we want to live there and continue to do our life there.
05:20And of course in a sporting way, I believe, as I told you before, I believe that we're
05:25going to win something important this season.
05:33I think we don't need to convince anyone.
05:38Life is like that.
05:41Come and see with your own eyes.
05:44I think it's what you have to say to the people.
05:47For example, give example, look, I'm now in a red sea, I don't because of anything.
05:52I'm coming because I like it and my family like it, I feel peace here.
05:58Not only the most holidays best parts in Saudi but also Jeddah.
06:03I love Saudi.
06:05I recommend people to come in there.
06:07They change Saudi.
06:09I know in the story the history of about Saudi they change a lot.
06:12Um, so it's good.
06:15I recommend to come and to visit this amazing country.
06:21You have amazing culture that is I like it and um come and look with your own eyes.
06:27I think it's the best advice that you can give to the people.
06:42100% as you say before I helped that to come here 2 years ago and people look Saudi with
06:47a different eyes which is I feel happy because I help on that but of course we have to mention
06:52uh the ins our crown prince that he did amazing work amazing job and the the the most important
06:57person in the process of changes of the country.
07:06So we have to appreciate him and his his people around him that you do it amazing work.
07:11I'm so happy.
07:15You should be proud of your country because you have you have amazing country and um the
07:19future will be bright because things are growing so fast.
07:24You don't just talk about you work.
07:27So this is the most important thing.
07:35In a general, I like I like to live here.
07:38I like I feel safe, me and my family.
07:42So things change in a fast way.
07:46So I like to be here because I follow the process.
07:49I follow the changes and I like it.
07:53I like it to be part of the changes of the country but we have a lot of potential to still
07:57grow and grow and grow.
08:02Not only in football but in other areas too in a business entertainment so feel so proud.
08:07Why we never know the future.
08:20I never thought in two years enough that I will play in Saudi Arabia never thinking about
08:24that but life is a box of surprises so we never know what's going to happen.
08:32I make in my life, which is to the present, I don't make decisions.
08:38I, the present, the present is good, the present is bright.
08:43I'm a very positive person, so I believe the next years the project will continue to grow.
08:50Cristiano will win something important in Saudi Arabia.
08:54Believe in that, and of course, what I wanted to give the Saudi people, especially the Almazar fans,
08:59a very important trophy this year.
09:10Why not?
09:11Depend on manufacturers the opportunities, but I'm not a regular person to be honest.
09:16I'm thinking different than players.
09:18I don't say I'm better than them, but I'm thinking different.
09:21Uh, to be a coach, I can tell right now I'm never going to be a coach.
09:25Never never.
09:26This is a strong word, but not in my plans in 5 years, 10, 20, but as you know the, life
09:32is always a box of surprises.
09:34But, um, projects and be part of the growth of the country.
09:41To be on a side of the country, for sure, I will be next to the country because I'm not
09:45coming to play football.
09:50I play for change of a country, cultural country, so I'm a part of that process.
09:55So, as I say so many times I belong to Saudi Arabia.
10:00I'm Portuguese but I belong to Saudi Arabia.
10:10What I want to say is continue to support Cristiano, continue to support Ailar, continue
10:14to support Portugal national team.
10:18Believe uh because this year I believe that we are going to do it very very important
10:21season.
10:23So the past is the past.
10:25Let's focus on a present.
10:27The present will be good, thank you so much, thank you guys, thank you.
