On Thursday, Ronaldo’s club Al Nasr faced arch-rivals Ittihad in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup. Ittihad defeated Al Nasser by three goals to one in the match held at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
With this, Ronaldo lost his chance to play a final game after a long break.
In the match, Romarinho, Abdul Razzak Hamdilla and Mohamed Al Shanqithi scored for Ittihad while Al Nasser got a consolation goal from Taliska.
But the efforts of Al Ittihad fans to lose Ronaldo’s concentration in the game and to weaken the player mentally are now a topic of discussion in social media. The Etihad fans responded by chanting Messi every time the ball hit Ronaldo’s feet. And the Etihad fans tried to embarrass Ronaldo by singing chants in English and Arabic against Ronaldo.
But Al Nasr fans also came forward with the same reaction to these efforts from Etihad fans. They gave a Roanoke support named Ronaldo. Al Nasr fans also raised many posters praising the star on the ground.
But although he was able to move forward with the ball and provide crosses in the game, the Portuguese hero could not create scoring opportunities. And it was a constant sight in the game that the Etihad defense easily snatched the ball from Rono’s feet.
However, compared to the first match, we could see Ronaldo playing more in harmony with his teammates in the match against Etihad.
