[스포티비뉴스=임창만·장하준 영상기자]Cristiano Ronaldo received a huge salary after joining Al Nasr. But the price of this salary was criticism.
Ronaldo has risen to the ranks of the world’s best players, winning numerous trophies with Manchester United and Real Madrid. Five Ballon d’Or awards represent its status.
As one of the greatest superstars in football history, Al Nasr fans gave Ronaldo a huge welcome. But Al-Nasr Ronaldo failed to score in two matches after his debut. He scored two goals in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain, but at the time he was in the Saudi Union team.
As silence continued for the next two matches, Saudi media and fans criticized Ronaldo. A situation that can surely look harsh for a freshman who has not scored in just two games since his transfer.
But Ronaldo is a player who invested an astronomical amount and brought him. The annual salary this player receives is about 250 billion won. He is known to earn about 8,000 won per second when calculated per second. As such, he is receiving a huge salary, so the quick criticism from the locals is understandable enough.
Attention is focusing on whether Ronaldo can quickly reverse this situation.
