“Cristiano Ronaldo’s Indecent Act in Saudi Arabia Triggers Criticism and Frustration”

Since his arrival as king in the Arabian Peninsula last January, the captain of Al-Nassr has not only shone with his undeniable talent as a footballer. In March, our Aces had already noted a gesture of annoyance on his part. Video showed him forcefully shooting a bottle off the pitch, a move of anger experienced after his side lost in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals.

The risk of winning nothing with Al-Nassr

Eliminated from this competition, Al-Nassr still has the King’s Cup to compete for and especially the championship. But despite its superstar, the club is far from having already won the title. Ronaldo and his teammates are second in the standings within three points of leaders Al-Ittihad and have one more game played. They now have six games left to take control.

These results cause frustration in the team, and perhaps also in the treasurer. After their last championship title in 2019, it is normal that expectations are particularly high this year. In any case, the French Rudi Garcia paid the price. Last week, Al-Nassr chose to part ways with his coach, without giving a clear justification. Marca spoke of possible tensions with the former Real Madrid star, but Ronaldo himself split a message on social networks. “It is a pleasure to have worked with you. I wish you the best for the future“, he wrote soberly on Instagram.

It is therefore difficult to know all the details of the locker room, but Ronaldo is obviously not in his best shape. If he multiplies the gestures of nervousness, it is also a sign of a lack of personal success. The one who had scored a quadruple and then a hat-trick last February is no longer as decisive. The Portuguese has only shaken the net three times in the last seven games played with his club. However, the infernal truce had rather smiled on him (four goals in two matches with Portugal, at the end of March). Perhaps also the mark of a return close to his family which is good, while little information on his good integration far from Europe has circulated.
