Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand spoke about the difficulties faced by footballers who transfer to the Saudi Arabian Pro League.
Idman.Biz reports that Ferdinand emphasized that this championship is more complex than it seems.
"Any footballer who comes here, if he can't run, immediately loses control of the game and is left with only hoping and praying for a good team around him.
Many young footballers in Europe look at this league and think, "I'm going to go there and destroy everyone." But that won't happen. You will come here and be defeated because this league is more difficult than players think. You need to adapt to many things here: the climate, the new place, the football style. Everything happens faster than it seems," said the former defender.
According to Ferdinand, the Saudi Pro League is already becoming a championship that stands out not only for its financial attractiveness but also for its competitive ability in sports terms.
