Ronaldo restored his influence in Saudi football
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the field after a three-week break. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He contributed to the victory by scoring two goals in the match against Saudi Arabia's "Al-Hazm" team. After the game, Ronaldo said to the camera, “I belong to Saudi Arabia.”
His words were met with applause from the fans. However, there is a more complex reality behind this phrase.
In January, Ronaldo noticed that his team "Al-Nasr" was receiving less financial support compared to other clubs in Saudi Arabian football. He did not like this situation and as a result, he missed several games in protest.
But soon the issue was resolved: financial problems were addressed and his influence in the club was restored. After that, Ronaldo returned to the field, scored goals, and appeared before the fans in the national jersey.
Ronaldo's situation in Saudi football is not simple. He sees that other major clubs in Saudi Arabia, such as "Al-Hilal" and "Al-Ittihad," are receiving large investments.
"Al-Nasr," on the other hand, sometimes seems to be regarded as a secondary project. For this reason, Ronaldo tried to use his influence and partially succeeded.
His activity in Saudi Arabia demonstrates the athlete's complex but skillful game. He tries to make the most of the existing conditions and maintain his reputation.
Ronaldo always keeps himself at the center, even if his options are limited. He is truly an athlete who can find his place on the big stage.
The 2026 World Cup is ahead. This tournament may be the last chance for Ronaldo to win a major trophy.
According to Portugal national team coach Roberto Martinez, Ronaldo is a player who strives to work on himself every morning. This quality sets him apart from other athletes.
Ronaldo's activity in Saudi Arabia shows that he strives not to lose his value under any circumstances. However, over time, his opportunities may become limited.
On the World Cup field, only his skill and effort will provide the real answer. It will be interesting to see what words he will say then.
