5 Negative Effects Of Cristiano Ronaldo At Al Nassr
Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr was a turning point in Middle Eastern Football. And well, Cr7 helped, ????????? Nassr rocket up the Instagram follower count from 853k to well above the 10 million mark. But some still believe that despite getting a 2½-year deal worth £175m a year, the Portuguese star has failed to make his mark at the new club. No goal from open play, rumors of a return to European football, and exit from the Saudi Arabian Super Cup have slightly shaken the club. So, without any further wait. Here are 5 negative effects of Ronaldo on Al
Nassr. Makes opponents play better Well, many expected that Cr7 would have destroyed the defenses in the Kingdom. But that has not been the case. In fact, he has made his opponents sharper and more focused because of his presence. One of Cristiano Ronaldo’s new Al Nassr teammates has explained why the forward’s arrival is yet to have the positive effect on the team expected. Luis Gustavo said: Certainly, the presence of Cristiano makes it difficult for us, as all teams seek to participate against him in the best possible way, and he gives motivation to everyone. Hey, this seems
too much and it appears that Gustavo has still not come out of the thrashing that Ronaldo did to Bayern Munich some years ago. 2. Too much focus on Ronaldo
to the final. But No SIU at the Mrsool Park. Cr7 not only did not cross the net, but he also failed to convert an easy scoring opportunity. Rudi Garcia, Al Nasr’s manager, was furious. He explained after the match that his players tried ‘too hard’ to involve Ronaldo in the game. It’s very important for the players to play normally and not always try to give the ball to Cristiano. Well, it seems that Al Nasr players haven’t come out of the Ronaldo Mania Hangover and rely too much on him. But as Ronaldo was grappling with the defeat,
another piece of news shocked him. A video circulated showing two fans trampling on a Cr7 shirt, apparently blaming him for the 3-1 defeat and exit from the semifinal. But fans aren’t the only ones feeling the pressure. Young players at the club are also bearing the brunt. 3. Young players have too much pressure while playing with Cristiano Ronaldo The experience of veteran players can be useful for teenagers. Well, Zidane groomed many players and the same was the case for Andre Pirlo. But sometimes that can backfire. It appears that young Al-Nasr players are underperforming and taking too
much pressure while playing with Cr7. And in the past, Rashford and Sancho faced similar kind of a situation when the manager urged them to build the team around Ronaldo. Rashford remained clueless in the previous season and most of the time looked to pass Ronaldo, which ultimately resulted in useless tactics. And with Ronaldo now gone, he’s playing with a bit of freedom and going all guns blazing. See, Al Nasr’s youth icons. Cr7 is just a human. And you need to relax while playing with him. Or you might wait till he leaves. Which by the way might
still be possible. 4. He may still leave for Europe soon Ronaldo’s AL-Nasr teammates might be partying with the 5 times Ballon Dor winner. But it seems that the fun might be short-lived, which could demoralize them. Yes, you heard it right. AL Nasr coach Garcia said: “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.” Reportedly, there is a clause in Ronaldo’s contract that means if Newcastle United qualify for the Champions League
this season, he can go on loan there as they are owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. Well with Newcastle currently at number 4, Al-Nasr fans and players might be on the edge. But will he be useful at Newcastle? Difficult to say that with the kind of goal-scoring form he is in. 5. Not scoring Cr7 is currently enjoying a lavish style in the Middle East. £175m-a-year man is rubbing shoulders with royalty, while partner Georgina is already an ‘icon’ as the pair become ‘talk of the town’. In his interview with Piers Morgan, he told that
he’s enjoying every bit of moment in his new spot. His social media posts also showed him celebrating the 29th birthday of his other half at an Armenian restaurant in Riyadh. But his on-field performances do not match his off-the-field glamour. The current moment of concern is that he isn’t scoring. He has only scored one penalty so far in competitive games for his new club. The only highlight of his Al-Nasr career is his two goals in the friendly game against PSG. But that too resulted in a loss. Well, the reality is that the move to Al-Nassr hasn’t
been a bed of roses for Ronaldo. With only one goal from the spot, the 38-year-old is yet to score from open play for his new club. And this is a headache for the club. Though, they are still at the top. But if Ronaldo does not perform, AL Nasr might be in a trouble. Okay Okay. That’s more than information for the day. Now, it’s your turn to let me know in the comments what you think about Ronaldo’s AL-Nasr chapter.
