It hasn't been a great start to Cristiano Ronaldo's competitive career in Saudi Arabia. While the superstar footballer had ignited hopes of a blockbuster start to his career in the Asian country after scoring a brace in the friendly outing Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain, he hasn't been able to replicate that goal-scoring form in the crucial games where it matters the most.
Not only did Ronaldo drew a blank in his debut game, he even failed to find his name on the scoresheet during Al-Nassr's 1-3 defeat to Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup last week. Following his inability to help his team win, the record goal-scorer in international football as well as for Real Madrid, has been attracting criticism from all quarters.
And now a video has gone viral on social media where a man said to be one of the directors of Al-Nassr is frustrated with Ronaldo's poor form in the league so far.
"Get out of here. I spent 200 million euros and he [Ronaldo] only knows how to go ‘Siuuuu’. It’s not possible," the man can be heard saying in the video.
The video has been shared on TikTok which remains banned in India.
Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world: Garcia
Even though Ronaldo has himself gone on record saying that he has won everything in Europe and is looking forward to a new challenge in Asia, his manager at the Saudi Arabia club Rudi Garcia has said that the 37-year-old will return to Europe before hanging up his boots.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a positive addition, as he helps to disperse defenders. He is one of the best players in the world. He will not finish his career at Al-Nassr, he will return to Europe," Garcia said in a recent press conference.
