Cristiano Ronaldo strongly defended Joao Felix’s move to Al-Nassr, slamming a Portuguese podcast for questioning the move, according to media reports. The football star called out the dissenters as “idiots” who don’t understand the game while pushing on the challenging situation for Felix to go from Chelsea to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo’s Fiery Instagram Response
The Chuveirinho podcast made fun of Felix’s choice to leave European football at 25 for a possible £43m deal (starting at £26m) with Al-Nassr. Ronaldo responded on Instagram: “Idiots don’t understand anything about football, yet they still give their opinions,” paired with crying emojis. Even though it was taken down, the post led to a discussion. Chuveirinho and other Ronaldo supporters asked whether they earned the jab after lauding Ronaldo.
Felix had a turbulent period at Chelsea. After a loan from Atletico Madrid in 2023, he signed permanently in 2024 and only started three matches in Premier League overall under Enzo Maresca. He would then move on loan to AC Milan in January. Now at Al-Nassr, Felix impressed with a hat-trick and one assist in five matches in his debut, showing his abilities.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Influence, Impact, and the Saudi Chapter
Ronaldo, per the report, played a key role in Felix’s move. “He’s building something here,” Felix said, inspired by CR7’s vision. Ronaldo’s Saudi record—95 goals in 109 games since leaving Manchester United—shows his dominance. His £492m contract extension in June crushed exit rumors. At 40, he’s unstoppable.
Chelsea’s transfer chaos continues, with Renato Veiga’s potential €20m sale to Juventus FC. Ronaldo’s 900-goal milestone solidifies his legend status.
Meanwhile, Mourinho’s Benfica return stirs nostalgia, who is a three times Premier League Championship winner at Chelsea.
Author’s Note: Ronaldo’s Unyielding Spirit
Ronaldo backing Felix shows where his loyalty lies and how Saudi football is getting noticed. Calling critics idiots quiets the noise as Felix does well. While Chelsea struggles, CR7’s drive and scoring prove he’s still a force.
