That’s all I saw in the media. But when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to do this, it became a shame and a disaster only because he went to Saudi Arabia." "I'm pleased for him that he's finally happy. For any footballer, whatever level you're playing in, happiness and being happy in the environment you're playing in is one of the most important things.

First of all, straight after the Wolves game, I joined up with my national team for a couple of friendly games, and then I had a week off. It was a bit tough for us guys who stayed at home to watch the others at the World Cup. That was difficult...
