Al Nassr's centre-back Aymeric Laporte has done the single biggest blow to the Saudi Pro League as he's come out to criticise the way players are treated in the country.
In an interview with AS, Laporte said: It's a being change compared to playing in Europe, but in the end, you have to adapt. They [Saudis] haven't made it easy for us. In fact, many footballers are unhappy.
But whatever, we work every day and hopefully little by little things change, because for them it's also a new thing to have important players from Europe. Maybe they need to be a little more serious.
When asked what exactly is missing for him, Laporte clarified: It's daily routines. The life for them [Saudis]... they take it lightly. They don't care about ultimatums. You agree on one thing and then they don't accept it after you've already negotiated.
I only speak from my experience and I don't know how others feel. To be honest, we didn't really come here for football, and many are happy with this, but I also want to see beyond that. I expected something different in terms of comfort of life but I end up spending three hours a day in the car because of traffic in Riyadh.
Despite the interview being done in Spanish, a language Laporte has mastery of, the footballer then claimed on social media that not everything I said is what I think and at the moment I wasn't thinking a lot and that the translation is not good into other languages.
