Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s official: he misses first game with Al Nassr: match scheduled for this afternoon postponed
Al Nassr were due to play in the league today. But Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t going to be there anyway. Not a good moment for the Portuguese. You might say: but how can it not be a good moment given the ultra-million dollar contract he has just signed? We explain the reasons here.
Let us anticipate things a little: there are other problems in life of a different kind and Cristiano Ronaldo, with all the money he has, has fewer thoughts than us mere mortals. But this is a known and known discourse that everyone, but really everyone, made the moment the figures came out about the Portuguese going to play in Saudi Arabia. Before understanding, however, why former Roma coach Rudi Garcia left him out, let’s understand why the moment – despite everything – is not so easy for the player. First of all, because of those rumours that see him in crisis with Georgina, the mother of his last children, who has nevertheless flown with him to Arabia. Someone has revealed that the two are currently only together for ‘convenience’ and that an official separation could take place in the coming months. We shall see.

Then, secondly, there’s the trouble with the powerful attorney Jorge Mendes, who has accompanied CR7 throughout his career.

The two apparently are on the outs and have decided to separate. The reason is unknown and there is no official communication at the moment. But as we have explained to you again and again, when there is a rumour circulating, there is always (or almost always) a grain of truth. Otherwise it wouldn’t come out. Yes, it is true, there are long tongues and malicious ones too. But in this case no one would gain much from it.
Finally, moving on to today’s business, Ronaldo with his Al Nassr will not be able to play either against Al Taee or next 14 January against Al Shabab. The reason? CR7 is expected to be disqualified for two days for the notorious affair of the mobile phone of an Everton fan, in his last Premier League appearance, thrown to the ground by the striker himself. In short, no debut for the moment: everything is postponed to 21 January.
The match in any case, as communicated in these minutes, has been officially postponed for 24 hours due to too much rain that fell and made the pitch impracticable.
