Al Nassr talks about Ronaldo’s ‘indecent’ move
Al-Nassr said on Wednesday that Cristiano Ronaldo had a “sensitive” groin injury that caused him to make the move that upset fans after the Al-Nassr vs. Al-Hilal game on Tuesday.
After his team lost to Al-Hilal 2-0, there was a lot of criticism of Ronaldo.
As the great Portugal player left the field at the end of the game, Al-Hilal fans started chanting the name of Ronaldo’s biggest rival, Lionel Messi.
The Al-Nassr captain grabbed his crotch and pointed it at the people who were chanting. The offensive move upset a lot of people, and football fans all over Saudi Arabia started calling for the captain to be kicked out of the country.
The move was insulting in two ways. It was thought to be too rude, especially since Saudi Arabia is in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan. Also, Ronaldo has been called a “fan abuser” on social media because he has hurt fans.
Al-Nassr tried to explain away the move after people asked him to leave. The club tried to make the move seem less important by saying it was done because of a “sensitive” injury in the groin area and not out of disrespect.
The club’s board talked to writer Muhammed Al-Enezi about the situation. Al-Enezi said in a statement, “Ronaldo is hurt. His fight with Al-Hilal player Gustavo Cuellar began with a blow to a very sensitive area. There is no doubt about this. The fans can think whatever they want about the reasons why.
Ronaldo was booked earlier for a WWE-style hit that came close to getting him a red card.
