At the time when Ronaldo was looking for a club to go to after Manchester United, there were no real offers for him and no club in Europe was really interested in bringing him. The Saudis were the only people that wanted him and they offered a very tempting deal that he considered. If Ronaldo had gotten a fairly good offer from other European clubs that was close to what Al Nassr offered, I am very sure he would have chosen them over a move to Saudi just so he can continue to play in European competitions and the champions league that he loves so much.
So that's the problem why no European club wants to take him because he asked for a high salary not because he was unable to compete, clearly they think paying Ronaldo' salary means the same as paying their 5 players' salaries at once and that is not the right idea in business
Ronaldo is lucky there are clubs in this league who are willing to pay him more than what he wants and Ronaldo's decision to move here prompted other players to make the same decision I will not deny if it is Ronaldo effect, apart from the salary of course.
Al ahli even without Firmino winning easily
Yeah maybe you're right it's easy win but not optimal, Firmino scored 3 goals in the last match so we know Firmino's contribution is very needed in the team, by the way Al Khaleej just scored 1-2 score for a while. I watched this match and the situation is not safe for AlAhli, Al Khaleej continued to attack to equalize the score, it turns out that other clubs are not as weak as we thought.
I think I will still make a bet on this match maybe about Al Ahli winning -2.5 or maybe -3.5 with pretty good odds I guess.
So you've placed a bet there? unfortunately Al Khaleej was a little lucky to get 1 goal and less than 5 minutes the match will be over, so for the next time you should check the lineup first and make sure all the mainstay players are in the lineup or something surprising could happen, hopefully there is a miracle for your bet.
