Football is being played around the globe and im sure his presence in Saudis will kickstart alot of football careers in there. Seeing his presentation shows how big of a star he really is.
When he said it’s all done in Europe, it really is. Few records here and there, but there really ain’t footballing challenge left for him. If he can help their football there + inspire alot of kids, it will be a huge success. That’s how every big athlete should go out, to make their sport and craft more known beyond and grow the sport itself. Money played obviously a huge role, as it does for every footballer, but the deal he got was just something that speaks the volumes what he has achieved. They can pay that amount of money and they will still get alot in return, just like football does worldwide.
Sad to see him being officially ”out”, but he played 20 years on top. Truly a GOAT, who made all the sacrifices to be the GOAT. Greedy owners and corrupt organizations behind football is what makes me puke, but football itself is still a beautiful game. It doesn’t matter where or what’s the level you play at, it’s still football. He inspired alot of kids, who are currently giving us back, he will inspire more kids and the legacy will live on forever.
