As usual, Cristiano Ronaldo reacted to this precious victory for Al Nassr, the first for the Saudi team in the league. In a post on his Instagram account, CR7 praised his teammates for their incredible collective effort against the host and urged them to continue on this winning path. ” Another amazing team effort – let’s go @AlNassrFC_EN“, he posted.
Ronaldo does not regret his choice
« It was an extremely important match, it’s our first victory in the league, we knew it was very important. I’m very happy to have scored, the team played well and scored five goals. But the most important thing is that we start to win. The team is improving game after game. The new ones are of higher quality. Today, me, Mané and Ghareeb played a great game up front, but the whole team played very well“, added the Portuguese.
Less alone since the arrival of new teammates from Europe like him, Ronaldo now seems ready to go to conquer the title. A challenge that visibly excites the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, not unhappy with his choice to join the Saudi Pro League last winter after the termination of his contract with Manchester United.
