In an interview with ‘TNT Sports’, Alex Telles spoke about the opportunity to play with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and spoke about training with the Portuguese
Alex Telles was in 2022 World Cup and had been a frequent name in the calls for Brazilian Team. However, the left-back lost some space and was not called to represent Brazil in the Copa America. After the first season in Al-Nassrfrom Saudi Arabia, the player spoke about the experience of sharing the field with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The left-back had already played alongside the Portuguese at Manchester United, during Cristiano Ronaldo’s second spell at the Red Devils, but he was keen on the opportunity to meet the star again at Al-Nassr. “It was one of the reasons I went to Saudi Arabia”said Telles, in an interview with ‘TNT Sports’.
“It’s being able to learn, to be close to the day-to-day life of a guy who is a legend. One of the greatest players in the history of football. Literally a natural athlete, a guy who has been training since he was very young. He tells us stories about how he used to work and he still maintains this routine. With the age he is reaching and the numbers he is achieving, this, for me, is no surprise.” stated.
