SAUDI ARABIA
Cristiano Ronaldo lashes out again in Saudi league
It’s not going the way the Portuguese star had hoped at Al Nassr, and he was left very angry after Sunday’s game against Al-Feiha.
Not even four months have passed since Cristiano Ronaldo made his move to Al Nassr official. It was on December 30 when the Portuguese legend closed his transfer to Saudi Arabia, following the money trail and fleeing the problems he had at Manchester United. However, despite a huge drop in the level of the game in Saudi Arabia compared to England’s prized Premier League, not everything is rosy with his new project. And on Sunday we saw the latest release of anger from him after the draw of his team in the league.
Ronaldo rage after latest disappointment
The stumble of Al Nassr has complicated the title chase for Cristiano. The draw leaves the team three points behind the leaders and with the goal difference lost against Al Ittihad, who beat Al Wehda. The veteran from Madeira is not used to giving up, something he has always demonstrated throughout his long professional career.
The Portuguese star was raging as he left the field of play after Sunday’s game against Al-Feiha and remonstrated with his rivals for their way of playing. The striker gestured angrily and argued with several opponents, all the while implying that they had been wasting time.
The images of Cristiano have already gone viral. “You don’t want to play,” he told them angrily as he marched off.
Earlier, during the match, he was also seen gesturing to the opposing players to shut their mouths. The former Real Madrid player was the first to leave the field of play, while the rest of the squad and the coach, Rudi García, shook hands with the opposing team and said goodbye to the fans.
Ronaldo’s frustration grows
This is not the first time that Cristiano has left the pitch angry since his arrival in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo also showed his frustrations by kicking a bottle of water and storming off after his team were defeated by Al-Ittihad by 1-0 last month. He still has time to make this adventure work, but it certainly isn’t going to plan so far.
