Al-Ettifaq defender Marcel Tisserand has opened up on the football revolution that took place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the latest transfer window, and the blockbuster superstars who joined the Saudi Professional League.
“I was surprised. After the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in January, I thought there would be arrivals, but not as many! I didn’t imagine that Sadio Mané, Neymar, Jordan Henderson or Karim Benzema would come to play in Saudi Arabia this summer.” he said, in statements brought by Foot RDC.
He added: “Sadio Mané, Riyad Mahrez, Kalidou Koulibaly or Franck Kessié, to name a few, still had the level to play at the highest level and compete in the Champions League. They arrived in great shape, motivated, and they are among those who are pulling the Saudi Pro League to the top.”
