Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo pushed an opponent’s backstage staff as they tried to take a selfie with him after Al-Nassr’s 1-1 draw against Al-Khaleej.
Ronaldo and his teammates at Al-Nassr are increasingly moving away from the Saudi Arabia championship, when the team in the “red light” group, Al-Khaleej, drew 1-1. This was a lackluster match for the Portuguese superstar, as he was denied a goal for offside.
This draw also made Al-Nassr’s dream of competing for the Saudi Arabia championship even more blurred, when rival Al Ittihad took advantage of the opportunity to beat Abha 4-0 to try to take the top spot with 5 points more than Ronaldo’s team, in the context of the campaign with 4 more rounds to close the curtain.
Not only did he play poorly on the field, but after the match Ronaldo also left a bad image. The Portuguese received numerous requests from Al-Khaleej players and staff for his shirt and eventually CR7 gave it to a player. However, Ronaldo didn’t react so lightly when a member of Al-Khaleej’s backstage staff tried to take a selfie with him.
The act of pushing that person out of Ronaldo met the anger of not only insiders as well as the fans present on the field. This is not the first time the former Man United player has lost control since moving to Saudi Arabia. The latest is after the loss to Al Wehda in the semi-finals of the King’s Cup at the end of April, Ronaldo went straight into the tunnel without thanking the support of the home fans, even turned to the coaching staff and expressed anger.
Since moving to Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in 13 appearances in the Saudi Arabian league, although sources say the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is looking to leave his new club for Real. However, it now seems Real is willing to let Ronaldo act as an ambassador, according to El Nacional.
The Spanish newspaper said: “President Florentino Perez has assured that Ronaldo will not be short of jobs at the Santiago Bernabeu. But obviously he doesn’t do that as a player.”
