All players have a rough phase during their respective careers. Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was just off his game last year as fans had written the player off following a disastrous 2022 World Cup campaign. However, it seems like Cristiano has reinvented himself following his move to Al Nassr, which has left fans in awe. A former Saudi Pro League club manager recently touched down on the player’s form, revealing the reason behind the redemption arc.

The Al Nassr skipper has been on top of his game this season. The Portuguese superstar is leading the race for the Golden Boot, with 12 goals to his name. Cristiano has been vocal about his desire to deliver for the team this season, and won’t be stopping before he gets his hands on some silverware.

Ronaldo has completely turned this around from last season. The player had a rough time in the World Cup before his move to Al Nassr, which saw him sit on the sidelines after failing to fire for his side. However, a change of scenery has helped the player return to his best, with the Portuguese setting the Saudi Pro League on fire.

During a recent interview, former Al-Ahly manager Vitor Pereira spoke on Cristiano Ronaldo’s tremendous form. Pereira stated that he feels the Portuguese superstar knew that he’d be an important figure when moving to Saudi and has been enjoying his time in the country.
