At the time Cristiano Ronaldo joined, Al Nassr was leading the Saudi Championship and had the best defense in the league. The transfer with the Portuguese player is considered a big boost for this club in terms of reputation and commerciality, but in terms of achievements they have begun to recede.
Currently, Al Nassr has been dropped by 3 points by Al Ittihad and the top team still has 1 match to play while the season with Al Nassr will only have 6 rounds to go. Not only having the advantage of points and matches, Al Ittihad also rose to become the team that conceded the least in the season and from the beginning of the season they only lost 1 match, so the championship door of this team is very bright.
Of course, Al Nassr still doesn’t fully feel that Ronaldo is a failed deal, and they are very active in protecting CR7’s image after the player acted offensively when his name was called out by rival fans. Messi in the match yesterday. But technically Ronaldo is contributing to Al Nassr going down rather than going up, they have fired the head coach and now face the risk of losing the championship.
The media in Madrid did not forget to remind Ronaldo that the day he left Real Madrid was the day CR7’s career “falled down”, but recently AS assessed that Ronaldo did not “make a less intelligent choice”, but instead the passing of this player 5 years ago was a blessing for the royal team. AS said that although Ronaldo did not do it intentionally, but the decline in performance caused all the teams with him to fall into a crisis of achievement.
“Even Ronaldo had no hand in causing Rudi Garcia to lose his job, or formerly Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the mere fact that he was sponsored by club directors would make them victims of abuses. professional decline that they themselves did not create. Ronaldo’s commercial appeal and image are undeniable, but club officials are being overshadowed by that in the professional decisions they make.”
AS said that the Saudi Arabia tournament, although not in Europe and receiving little attention outside the Middle East, will continue to improve in terms of player quality in the near future. “A Saudi club recently offered a salary of 25 million euros a year to invite Luka Modric. Modric may not come, but this tournament has and will increasingly attract good players from Northeast Asia, South America or Africa, not to mention their very friendly foreign policy when allowing registration 8 foreign players”, the AS article assessed.
“Winning the Saudi Arabia is therefore only going to be harder, not easy, and that applies to Al Nassr and every other club. If next year Al Nassr still won’t win even with Ronaldo? Only those who are already his fans will follow this tournament and this club. There are people watching to see if Ronaldo succeeds/failures at Al Nassr, but if what he won is zero then it’s not worth the attention.”
