Cristiano Ronaldo “won’t conclude his career in Al Nassr,” according to manager Rudi Garcia of Al Nassr. He’ll go back to Europe. The remark was made after Ronaldo failed to score in back-to-back games.
Last week, Al Ittihad defeated Al Nassr in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal, and Ronaldo missed an opportunity to score. Since relocating to the Middle Eastern nation, the legendary 37-year-old Portuguese player has yet to score.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a useful acquisition because he spreads out defenders, according to Garcia.
However, the coach criticized Ronaldo after missing a goal against Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup. Ronaldo joined Al Nassr from Manchester United in the end of 2022.
Al Ittihad is one of the top players in the world, stated Garcia before adding, “Ronaldo wasted a chance on goal that would have turned the game around in the first half.”
Additionally, Garcia cautioned his team not to pass pressure on Ronaldo or let him intimidate them.
“It’s crucial that the players act normally and refrain from constantly attempting to pass the ball to Cristiano. I advised them to use good judgment when playing the game. Naturally, we must give the ball to Cristiano or Talisca when they are alone and request it, the coach continued.
