Among other things, Zlatan has directed criticism at footballers, Ronaldo in particular, who move to Saudi Arabia at the end of their careers to earn money.
– I also had an offer from Saudi Arabia, but it’s about what you want? What is your plan? Some players have to end their careers on the big stage in order to retire on top. You must be remembered for your talent, not for what you have earned. I think that some players who reach such a high level, they have to finish on the biggest stage, said “Ibra” in an interview with TV profile Piers Morgan.
– You can’t go down a level and end your career like that. But some players feel they need to earn more money because they haven’t made enough.
