[골닷컴] Reporter Kim Dong-ho = Cristiano Ronaldo’s life in Saudi Arabia is not easy from the beginning.
On the 4th (Korean time), Ronaldo held a medical test and initiation ceremony in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and confirmed the transfer of Al Nasr. He has held various events, including press conferences and debuts in front of fans.
Speaking at the press conference, Ronaldo said: “I feel very good so far. I’m proud to make an important decision in my life,” he said. “Now I’m ready for a new challenge. My family always supports me when I make decisions. Especially my kids,” he said.
After the press conference, he was ambitiously preparing for life in Saudi Arabia, such as the initiation ceremony and open training program in front of a full crowd. But I came across a coral reef. This is the regulation for the registration of foreign players of the Saudi league.
According to ‘AFP’, the Saudi league can register eight foreign players. But Ronaldo is the ninth foreign player. This means that only one player needs to be transferred for Ronaldo to appear in the Saudi league.
Current Uzbekistan national team member Jaloridin Masharifov is expected to leave the team, but depending on the speed of his transfer, Ronaldo’s registration should also be decided. Furthermore, if the Saudi league team accepts a two-match suspension for assaulting a child while playing in the Premier League, he is expected to be barred from playing in the next two games.
