[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = “Ronaldo is here. His transfer will be very unusual in Saudi football.”
One of the most important topics in the January transfer market is Ronaldo’s transfer to the Saudi Arabian League. Al-Nasr manager Rudi Garcia, who has been appointed to manage Ronaldo, is also delighted.
On the 3rd (local time), coach Garcia shared his thoughts on the signing of Ronaldo through the “Global Edition” of this media outlet (Goal.com).
Garcia said: “It’s great to sign a player like Ronaldo. And he will contribute to the development of football in Saudi Arabia.”
He added: “We are all happy that Ronaldo is here. The first goal is to get Ronaldo into the team. And I hope he enjoys playing football at Al Nasr. So I hope the fans enjoy it.”
Ronaldo, along with Lionel Messi, is an icon representing football in the 21st century. Although the image of “Lee In-ja” is strong, he has been called a goalkeeper and has ruled European football. Even though he’s shown some disappointment lately, the symbolism of Ronaldo is still there.
After joining Ronaldo, interest in Al Nasr also grows. The number of Instagram followers alone has increased almost 10 times.
Now is the time to show it. Al Nasr, who played 11 rounds, won 26 points with 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. In a situation where they have played one game more than their rivals, they are in first place in the league.
The difference between Al Shabab and second place is one point. Similarly, the difference between Al Ittihad and Al Ittihad, who have only played 10 rounds, is only 2 points. It’s a number that can be flipped at any time.
Besides Ronaldo, they have a high quality squad. The goalkeeper is Ospina, a player of the Colombian national team who has played for Arsenal and Napoli. Also in midfield is Luis Gustavu, who was the main midfielder during the World Cup in Brazil. In addition to Ronaldo, the attacking squad included such proven assets as Abubakar and Taliska.
Meanwhile, Al-Nasr’s next opponent is Al-Tay. However, as times are times, Ronaldo’s official debut match is likely to be against Al Shabab on the morning of the 15th.
