[골닷컴] Reporter Kim Dong-ho = Cristiano Ronaldo’s life in Saudi Arabia is not easy from the beginning.
On the 4th (Korean time), Ronaldo held a medical test and initiation ceremony in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and confirmed the transfer of Al Nasr. He has held various events, including press conferences and making his debut in front of his fans.
Speaking at the press conference, Ronaldo said, “I feel very good so far. I am proud to make a big decision in my life.” “Now I am ready for a new challenge. My family always supports me when I make decisions. Especially my children,” he said.
After the press conference, he was ambitiously preparing for life in Saudi Arabia, such as the initiation ceremony and the open training schedule in front of a full crowd. But he came across a reef. This is the Saudi league’s foreign player registration regulations.
According to ‘AFP’, the Saudi league can register eight foreign players. But Ronaldo is the ninth foreign player. This means that only one player must be transferred for Ronaldo to appear in the Saudi league.
Current Uzbekistan national team member Jaloridin Masharifov is expected to leave the team, but depending on the speed of his transfer, Ronaldo’s registration is also expected to be decided. In addition, if the Saudi League side accepts the two-game suspension for assaulting a child while active in the Premier League, it is expected that he will not be able to play in the upcoming two games.
