Too tired after a series of matches, Cristiano Ronaldo will not be present Tuesday evening for the Asian Champions League meeting between Al-Nassr and Al-Duhail. His coach confirmed it.
At thirty-eight years old, Cristiano Ronaldo keeps his passion for football intact and continues to score goals like pearls on a beautiful necklace. The Al-Nassr player scores practically in each of his outings and has already scored fifteen goals in sixteen matches with the Saudi club, in all competitions. A telling figure, to which we should add the nine assists distilled here and there by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. But despite his will, “CR7” remains a man and his body asked for a little rest.
It is for this reason that the former Manchester United player was suspended. His trainer confirmed it to the press. While Al-Nassr will face the Qataris of Al-Duhail on Tuesday evening (7 p.m.), as part of the Asian Champions League, Luis Castro indicated that Cristiano Ronaldo would be left to rest, he who has accumulated too much fatigue over the last few weeks. Seven days ago, the Portuguese participated in the 120 minutes of the King Cup of Champions match won against Al-Ettifaq (1-0)
Castro explains
On Saturday, he was still on the field during the entire game won against Al Khallej (2-0). This time, its partners will have to do without its services. “ Cristiano Ronaldo will not participate in the match against Al-Duhail because he is too tired after his many matchesconfirmed his coach. I know there are some who want to see him, but he needs to rest. He’s not in good condition, but we have other stars. I didn’t decide to exclude him, it was his condition that decided that.“
Leader of Group E with three victories in as many matches since the start of the competition, Al-Nassr returns to a team from Al-Duhail which he had beaten at home on October 24, with a close score of 4- 3. Ronaldo then scored a double. This time, we will have to do without him.
