This has been discussed over and over again in this thread since it was created because of the certainty of his contract at Al Nassr, and also what has been widely reported by online media around the world, but it seems that it is not 100% true after the recent interview from Al Nassr president regarding the presence Ronaldo at his club after being eliminated in the King's Cup.
Al-Nassr president slams Cristiano Ronaldo as he regrets signing the Portuguese star
For some reason, criticism that is conveyed publicly will only make things not get better, and this will probably have an even more impact on Al Nassr's appearance, who still need all the wins in the remaining matches this season to keep their chances as league champions, even though that will also depend on the results that Ittihad FC got.
Is it possible that we will see a reply to this criticism from Ronaldo? or he will answer by putting in a better performance so that what his club wishes for his presence does come true, although it seems to me that it won't happen this season maybe next season, because at the moment a title for Al Nassr is a bit impossible to achieve because the results are also determined by other teams.
I don't think they regret because they signed a contract with Cristiano Ronaldo but the main issue is they agreed to pay him too high salary which is ridiculously high in my opinion. The player actually brought massive effects for Al Nassr in marketing, for the Saudi Professional League and more for Middle East football. However the cost they spent for this deal is too high and maybe it is what they regret.
I think if they have chance to revert time and remake the deal, they will still sign with Cristiano but with lower salary offer for him. Is money important for clubs in Saudi Arabia, I don't know.
Al Nasr is out of the cup and the president has resigned, so yes, in general we can say that the club has achieved attention and fame.
It's a very strange decision to buy such an old player with such a difficult character, who over the years becomes more and more intolerant of others, does not like to lose and spoils the atmosphere in the team with constant squabbles and selfish actions.
I don't know if accusing the team performance on a single player is right. I know the difference between their positions, chances before and after Cristiano appearance in Al Nassr but will they have at a better position in Saudi Professional League without Ronaldo and the same in some cub competitions?
Honestly I believe nobody can say about that. They only look at the past and the present to compare with so many assumptions and likely prejudices that Cristiano Ronaldo is a main problem at any club he plays for at his 38 age.
