The important changes that Cristiano Ronaldo has had after arriving in Saudi Arabia

Cristiano Ronaldo is about to celebrate his first year in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese player left Manchester United at the end of January 2022, to accept a million-dollar offer from Al Nassr. This decision had a lot to do with the bad relationship he had with his current coach, Erik Ten Hag, and the various disagreements they had during the months they coincided. In fact, a problematic version of CR7 was shown that many people did not know about.

 

Now, in Saudi Arabia, it seems that there has been a very important change in the lifestyle, but especially in Cristiano's attitudes. His arrival in the Arab league was key for many footballers to decide to emigrate to said competition, where they receive stratospheric salaries and live in one way or another, more relaxed, in sporting terms. A situation that has been wonderful for Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of his personal relationships.

His signing for Al-Nassr gave him what he needed: playing for pleasure and being able to be happy again in a phase of his career in which his characteristics, on the field, are no longer the same as they were 10 years ago. There are things that do not change: he continues working at his maximum, his physique still responds to him and he has not lost the goal. In fact, CR7 is the competition's current scorer and is in very good shape.

 

Is Cristiano Ronaldo someone else?

While players like Neymar, who have already had problems within a few days of their arrival in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to teach an important lesson. CR7 was one of those who rarely went to a press conference. He avoided contact with the media a lot. All that has changed: now he comes out to speak at every training camp in Portugal, he is available in the mixed zones and he is friendly with the press. According to MARCA, his closest environment says that he is another person. He is very close to everyone and, on the field, he has become a role model.
