“Cristiano Ronaldo’s Lack of Serenity in Saudi Arabia Affecting Al-Nassr’s Performance”

Cristiano Ronaldo stood out again. And not for his exploits on the lawn. While Al-Nassr suffered another poor performance by being held in check at home by Al Khaleej Saihat (1-1), CR7 repelled a member of the opposing staff who wanted to take a selfie with the Portuguese star.

Facing the 14th in the Saudi championship (out of 16 teams), Ronaldo and his teammates certainly dominated, but never managed to make a difference. Quickly led to the score (goal in the 4th from Fabio Martins), Dinko Jelicic’s men were quickly able to equalize through the Spanish defender Alvaro (17th). But then, Al-Nassr, despite his 22 shots (only 6 on target) lacked precision to pass the shoulder.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s annoyance is a good illustration of his lack of serenity since joining Saudi Arabia. In the last 5 matches, the five-time Ballon d’Or has only found the net once. A lack of efficiency which affects the performance of his club, counting 5 points behind his rival Al Ittihad. The national title is therefore likely to escape Al-Nassr, leader before the arrival of CR7. One more failure after elimination in the King’s Cup semi-finals and setbacks in the Riyadh Super Cup and that of Saudi Arabia.
