| Ronaldo 'unhappy' with Al Nasr club coach: 'Now the team should hire Ronaldo as coach' |
The inclusion of Portugal's famous player Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League was seen as the biggest news in the world of sports at the beginning of this year, but after three months, Al-Nasr Club is in second place on the points table of the tournament. And Ronaldo looked very unhappy on the field in the club's last drawn match.
It's been an unusual year for Ronaldo, who has clashed with his own team's coaches and even fans of opposing teams.
However, according to reports, he is not very happy with Rudy Garcia, the coach of the Saudi team Al-Nasr, and in this regard, contacts are being made with other coaches for the next season.
One of the reasons for this is that the Saudi team Al-Nasr is currently in second place in the points table.
Keep in mind that joining the Champions League, the biggest club football tournament, can only happen if the club wins the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo was not able to play in the Champions League last year either because at that time the Premier League team Manchester United did not qualify for the Champions League.
Ronaldo's conflicts with his coaches are nothing new. There was a rift with Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hague which he revealed in an interview.
Ronaldo was then dropped from the first team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup by Fernando Santas, after which Ronaldo appeared unhappy and was seen crying on camera when Portugal lost to Morocco. He was seen leaving.
So far, Ronaldo has played 12 matches for Nasr in which he has scored 11 goals.
Earlier, Al Nasr also lost in the semi-finals of the Arabian Super League and is now three points behind Football Club Al Ittihad in the points table with just seven matches remaining in the tournament.
In the last match, Al-Nasr drew a match with Al-Fiha, who is currently 11th in the points table, and after this match, Ronaldo could be seen leaving the field in anger.
Their reaction to Ronaldo is being discussed on social media.
It should be noted that Ronaldo's participation in the Saudi Pro League is being seen not only in terms of sports but also politically.
In such a situation, his strength in this league and this team is being seen more than any coach or management person.
Reacting to this, users have talked about Ronaldo in the past, mentioning coaches who have allegedly been sacked because of Ronaldo.
A user joked about this and said that because Ronaldo has a problem with every coach, 'now the team should hire him as a coach.'
Similarly, one user wrote that 'I didn't know that Cristiano Ronaldo was actually the name of a club.'
What will Saudi Arabia benefit from Ronaldo?
According to reports, Ronaldo is receiving the highest salary in the history of football from Al Nasr Club at more than 177 million pounds per year.
It should be noted that after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Nasr tweeted that "History is being made". This agreement will not only propel our club to great success but will also inspire our league, our country, and future generations, boys and girls, to perform at their best."
The deal certainly makes Ronaldo the highest-paid footballer in history, but Saudi Arabia could also benefit from his global fame.
It should be noted that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was seen several times with FIFA President GV Infantino during the Qatar World Cup.
In 2016, sports were included in the priorities of Mohammed bin Salman's 'Vision 2030'.
The Middle East Economy website wrote on the occasion of Ronaldo's involvement that Ronaldo could strengthen Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Especially when with the arrival of Ronaldo, the media's attention has now shifted to Saudi football.
