Adil Rami, who played for LOSC, OM and Estac Troyes, is a great connoisseur of Ligue 1 pitches. So when it comes to defending the French championship after Cristiano Ronaldo's recent declaration, the former Blue player is not sparing any words.
Since retiring from the sport, Adil Rami has made it a habit to comment live on Twitch about his career highlights and football news. And his latest release is certainly not the one likely to cause the least amount of talk.
Adil Rami achieved what Cristiano Ronaldo achieved:
“We love CR7 as much as we love him. But just because he's had a crazy career doesn't mean it becomes true as soon as he says it!

After Cristiano Ronaldo's controversial comments about the level of the French ChampionshipThe former LOSC and Olympique de Marseille defender expressed his disagreement. “Of course the Saudi Championship is better than Ligue 1,” the Real Madrid legend said. “You will find out when you run at 38.39 degrees or below 40 degrees,” insisted the man who won five Ballon d’Ors.
For Rami, this statement is completely false. “In Saudi Arabia, men are overweight and they don’t care at all. I’m sorry, that’s the reality,” he said. The Saudi Championship level is not very high for him. “In Saudi Arabia, every veteran who has played for the biggest club in the world eats McDonald’s every day,” he still insists.
“You don’t know what Ligue 1 is”
“I think it was a publicity stunt, but that’s impossible!” he said. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's status, his words are no longer valuable. “As much as we love him, it’s not because he’s had a crazy career that the moment he says it, it becomes true. That never happens in life.”

To support his argument, he wanted to recall the actual level of the French championship. “Come overweight to France and you will see how long you last,” he said, a bit provocatively, directed at a certain “star” of the Saudi Championships. “I don’t think you know what Ligue 1 is.” he concluded.
