Ronaldo sent a special greeting to the fans through a video posted on Al-Nassr’s official Twitter page.
Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr are having a special training trip in Portugal. Here, the runner-up Saudi Arabia will have friendly matches with a few European clubs such as Celta Vigo or Benfica.
Recently, in the midst of intense training, Ronaldo had an action that made fans feel excited. Specifically, in a video posted on Al-Nassr’s official Twitter page, CR7 greeted fans with the phrase “Asalam Alaikum”. This is the word “hello” in the Saudi language.
Immediately, this video was quickly shared on social networks. Many fans commented on and praised the 38-year-old superstar. Ronaldo’s inclusive mindset made him popular during his time in Saudi Arabia.

Indeed, this action of Ronaldo really scored points in the eyes of many people. It not only shows CR7’s willingness to integrate into different cultures, but also emphasizes that he is a man who has great respect for the club he plays for and solidarity with his teammates. The owners of the five Ballon d’Ors have shown respect to cultural traditions in different countries, including Islam, as the majority of Saudis are Muslim.
Ronaldo has become the focus on Twitter at a time when his team – Al-Nassr is facing a lot of difficulties. The runner-up of the Saudi Pro League has been banned by FIFA from registering new players in the context that they have just successfully recruited midfielder Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan. Previously, this team also attracted attention when striker Hakim Ziyech accused him of offering a contract with a salary that was not in accordance with the agreement.
These things will make Al-Nassr’s ambition to win the next season very difficult. In the short term, this team will have to try to learn more from the friendly matches this summer. At 2:30 tomorrow 15/7 (Vietnam time), the runner-up Saudi Pro League will have a friendly match with the team from Portugal – Farense.
