Cs you probably know, since December 30, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a player for Al-Nassr. In Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese seems to be happy, he who has already scored 8 goals and delivered 2 assists in 7 appearances in all competitions including 6 as a starter. He was also voted player of the month for February. In short, everything seems to be going well for the former Manchester United player. But this Wednesday, he is at the center of a major controversy in Saudi Arabia.
Marca reveals that Al Ittihad, the club he will face on Thursday in the league, is crying foul. The reason ? The Saudi team does not digest the fact that Mateu Lahoz has been appointed to referee the “superclasico” of the Saudi Pro League. The referee from Valencia has already officiated matches played by CR7 several times when he was at Real Madrid and they have exchanged several times. But what does not pass at Al Ittihad, especially among the fans, is the complicity between the two men. Images of them hugging each other have surfaced and some journalists believe that Mateu Lahoz and Cristiano Ronaldo are “friends”. A controversy which the footballer born in 85 would have done well.
