Just as 2022 ended, Cristiano Ronaldo shocked every soccer fan by joining Al-Nassr. Ronaldo’s lifelong fans were themselves extremely divided over his decision. While some fans felt that he’s done enough in Europe, others felt that a player with his reputation should not have considered the Saudi Arabian league. To make matters worse, Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t had the best start in Saudi Arabia. Quite a few fans thought that it would be a walk in the park for the legend.

However, things haven’t gone as per the ‘dream’ plan. Ronaldo’s teammate shocked the fanbase after he tried to slyly lift a finger at the Portuguese legend himself.

Ronaldo’s teammate thinks that he is part of the problem!

In a recent interview, Al-Nassr midfielder, Luiz Gustavo spoke about his views on the current Al-Nassr team. After being asked about the drop in the team’s performances recently, Gustavo clearly pointed out the Portuguese soccer legend’s name. The midfielder claimed that Ronaldo’s presence has made life difficult for everyone. He seemed quite honest with his words. However, those words have definitely raised a few eyebrows.

As translated by Mirror, he told RT Arabic, “Certainly, the presence of Cristiano makes it difficult for us, as all teams seek to participate against him in the best possible way, and he gives motivation to everyone.” He did clarify that the other clubs around them have started to buck up and prepare better for every game.
