There is absolutely no denying that the Serie A’s reputation has taken a beating in the last few years. While Juventus dominating season after season, two historical clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan are losing their touch. And former Brazil forward Ronaldo believes Cristiano Ronaldo can be the catalyst to re-alive the Seria A.
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play his first Seria A game on August 18.
Ronaldo Nazario’s career was marked as a golden era for Seria A. The league was known as one of the leading leagues in world football at that time. And Ronaldo played a vital role in it. This time he believes the other Ronaldo will spark up the league.
Ronaldo Nazario told Sky Italia:
“The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Italy is a great thing. Because Italian football has not recently been going through a good moment and this signing could relaunch it. It needs to bounce back from a difficult situation and I hope the spectacle returns.”
After the arrival of Ronaldo in Seria A, the rumours of Luka Modric coming to Inter Milan has also turned to be very strong. Ronaldo Nazario is unaware about the transfer, but he wishes his former team all the best for the upcoming season.
“It’s a strange transfer window — let’s see what happens. I hope that this season, Inter achieve the goals they have set. In terms of Modric, on the other hand, I don’t know if there really are negotiations underway between the two clubs. The market closes in a few weeks so let’s wait and see. All the top clubs are strengthening and Inter are up there.”
Brazil’s Ronaldo won two Ballon d’Ors lifted the UEFA Cup with Inter in 1998. He also scored 49 goals in 68 games before moving to Spanish club Real Madrid.
