Cristiano Ronaldo holds a special place in the historical records of football. Although he had a successful start with the Red Devils as a young prodigy, his second stint at Old Trafford in 2021 ended on a negative note. Despite facing criticism for his sudden departure to join Al Nassr, Jan Aage Fjortoft surprisingly supported CR7. In an interview, Fjortoft stated that Ronaldo was not to blame for the off-pitch drama he was involved in, including a public disagreement with Erik ten Hag. Fjortoft recalled a specific incident where Ronaldo left the dressing room shortly after entering with his personal gear, but he believed it was not Ronaldo’s fault. The Norwegian icon felt that the decision was right for both parties at the time. Additionally, Fjortoft commended Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr and praised his efforts in promoting Saudi Arabian football, stating that he had inspired other notable players to join the Roshn Saudi League. Fjortoft also noted that Ronaldo appears to be comfortable in Riyadh and continues to showcase his goal-scoring abilities. Lastly, Fjortoft mentioned Ronaldo’s record-breaking achievements, such as becoming the top scorer for the 2023 calendar year, and posed a question to the audience about whether they think Ronaldo will retire with 1000 goals.
