Crown scored three goals and an assist for his 63rd career hat-trick in the Saudi Arabian League in the early hours of Saturday morning (26), helping Ainas to a 5-0 win over Efateh, with the 38-year-old striker asking for autographs after the match and vowing that the league would become the fifth largest in the world.
Cron had a heated argument with Chinese referee Fu Ming in the last AFC Champions League after he was dissatisfied with the referee's repeated omission of 12 yards, but the Portuguese star was so satisfied with the referee's level of law enforcement that he took the initiative to find the referee to sign on the ball after the match and took a souvenir photo of the two of them.
In an interview, Cron once again boasted that the Saudi Arabian league will become the world's 5th biggest league: "The Saudi Arabian league is improving and will become one of the top 5 leagues in the world in the future, but it still needs time, better players, better facilities and I firmly believe that this country has amazing potential.
