Last night, Al Nassr narrowly escaped defeat against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League. Otavio’s goal in the 70th minute secured a 2-1 victory for Luis Castro’s team after Cristiano Ronaldo’s early goal was disallowed by the Al-Hasa-based club. Despite their hard-fought win, a video has emerged showing CR7 losing his temper at his team’s defense for failing to withstand the Al Fateh attack.
There have been numerous occasions where the 39-year-old has openly expressed his frustration on the field. This incident occurred during yesterday’s league match and was captured by a fan in the stands. The video, shared on social media, depicts Ronaldo approaching his team’s defensive line as they conceded a corner. Instead of performing his signature ‘Siuu’ celebration, the captain threw his hands in the air and shouted at his teammates. His gestures and vocal outbursts continued, urging his side to defend better and maintain focus. It is evident that he was dissatisfied with their defensive performance, particularly since they had already conceded a goal. With the Knights of the Najd currently vying for the top spot against arch-rivals Al Hilal, who lead the league table by 4 points, Ronaldo was determined not to exacerbate the situation. While his display of anger may be seen as a form of leadership, he must exercise caution.
As this incident may reignite debates within the soccer community, it is worth noting that Ronaldo recently made headlines for his eyebrow-raising behavior against Al Hilal. Following their defeat in the Riyadh Season Cup, the Portuguese star expressed visible frustration. When a fan threw a jersey at him as he was leaving the field, the 39-year-old reacted swiftly by donning training gear and making his way towards the fan. Although the details of their interaction are unknown, Ronaldo’s actions conveyed his refusal to accept his team’s performance. While his passion is commendable, he must be mindful of his unchecked emotions, as they may have unintended and detrimental consequences.
