Ronaldo’s transition to Al Nasser is similar to Pele’s: coach
An Nasser coach Rudy Garcia compared Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nasser with the career of Brazilian legend Pele. Garcia’s statement pointed out that Pele joined the American club New York Cosmos in 1975 at the end of his career.
“I compare Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Pele’s move towards the end of his career. Ronaldo went to Al Nasser, the Saudi league, while Pele went to the North American Soccer League.
In any case, Ronaldo’s arrival in Saudi will pave the way for the progress of football and other sports culture here. Cristiano’s position is more than just a player. He is the best player in the world,’ said Rudy Garcia.
Ronaldo has yet to compete since joining the Saudi Arabian club. Videos of the actor training in Alnaser were circulated on social media.

But it is expected that the match against PSG on January 19 will be the debut match of Ronaldo in Al Nasr. Although he reached Al Nasr, Ronaldo’s debut was delayed due to a two match ban imposed by the England Football Association (FA).
Al Nasr had already stated that Ronaldo will not play in the Saudi Pro League match against Al Shabab on the 14th. It was initially announced that Ronaldo Al Nasser will be wearing the jersey in the match against Etihad.
However, Al Nasser coach Rudy Garcia said that Al Nasser may play Ronaldo in the match against PSG.
The club’s offer is 200 million euros per year. Ronaldo can also become the coach of the team if his contract as a player ends.
Apart from this, reports indicate that Ronaldo is being discussed as the ambassador of Saudi Arabia. There are also reports that Al Nasr’s entry is part of Saudi’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup along with Egypt and Greece.
