Harsh critic. One of the protagonists of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was Cristiano Ronaldo. After being eliminated in the quarterfinals by the surprising Morocco, all the spotlights focused on the scorer and many fans wonder what will happen with his future.
As it is known, the striker dissociated from Manchester United during the World Cup and, within a few weeks, various media reported an offer of 200 million from Al-Nassr club from Saudi Arabia.

In that sense, one of those who spoke about this panorama was Max Eberl, sports director of RB Leipzig, who used the case of the Portuguese to question the high figures that are handled in the transfer market.

"When I see that they talk about 200 million euros for two seasons of Cristiano Ronaldo, I think it's absurd. They are things from another world. Without a doubt, this distances people from football (...). Football has entered an extreme dimension. Both in terms of perception and money. We have to keep our feet on the ground," he mentioned in a press conference.
Likewise, the leader criticized the businesses that revolve around the sport and considered that limits must be established to not affect the game, especially after the controversies related to the organization of Qatar 2022.
"The Qatar World Cup has also sparked many debates about whether we should commercialize the event or not. There is a debate about whether it is right or wrong (...). The game comes first, not the business that revolves around football. I hope that the debates that have taken place show what is correct and necessary for football. Of course you need money to buy players, but you cannot cross certain limits, " he concluded.
