Is Cristiano Ronaldo going to play in the French second division?
The manager explained how Ronaldo could match his ambitions in the second division of France called the French Ligue 2. According to Sports Info, Roux stated, “Me, I would see him in the second division, in the French Ligue 2. And then I would say that about Messi in a year, no doubt.”
The manager wants him in the second division along with Argentinian legend Lionel Messi, who currently plays for the Ligue 1 side Paris Saint Germain. However, he wants to leave the French division. Messi is eyeing a return to Saudi Arabia along with Barcelona as an option.
Roux continued, “In the past, professionals who had not made a fortune spent a few years as player-coaches in honorary division teams. It no longer exists but it could exist, and Ronaldo and Messi could evolve in Niort and Rodez in two years. As long as they are nice and get the youngsters to play, it would really help.”
There are multiple ways for fans to perceive the manager’s advice. Either he wanted to troll CR7 for his current situation. Or, he wants to create a change.
Helping youngsters to develop their skills
Speaking of Lionel Messi, he wants to leave France after two years in PSG. The two seasons produced numerous goals and assists but couldn’t win their most desired Champions League Trophy. But after several years, if he wants to play in the latter stages of his career, he can offer some advice to the younger players in the league. The French clubs could see an improvement in the league’s standard if Ronaldo and Messi joined them.
