I don’t worry about what people say. I am happy to be here. I am so proud to make a big decision in my life. My work in Europe is done. I won everything. I played for the most important clubs.<br /><br />‘For me now, it is a new challenge in Asia. I’m grateful that Al Nassr has given me this opportunity to develop not only football but also the young generation, the women’s generation. I want to change the mentality of the new generation.'<br /><br />The Portugal international also revealed that he had 'many opportunities' to join clubs in Europe and South America, before opting to join his new club.<br /><br />Ronaldo said: ‘I had many opportunities in Europe and many clubs in Brazil, Australia, USA, and even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me. But I gave my word to this club. <br /><br />‘I know what I want, and I know what I don’t want. For me, it’s a good challenge to change and to help with my knowledge and experience to grow many important points here.' <br /><br />Ronaldo had hoped to make his debut for his new club on Thursday night, but Sportsmail exclusively revealed how the 37-year-old is banned as he is yet to serve a two-match FA suspension for smashing an Everton fan's phone last season. <br />
