Following Friday’s game, Cristiano Ronaldo’s participation in the Saudi King’s Cup against Al Hazm was decided by Al Nassr coach Stefano Pioli.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr will play none other than Al Hazm in the Saudi King’s Cup Round of 32. Coach Stefano Pioli took a firm stand on the Portuguese star and today’s game after a resounding victory over Al Ettifaq on Friday.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in this elimination round as the new Al Nassr coach has chosen to leave him off the squad list in an attempt to rest the Portuguese forward.
Given that the match versus Al Ettifaq was played just a few days ago, the Italian coach is trying to protect Ronaldo’s body by not putting him through a lengthy run of games that might be too taxing on it.
In the Saudi Pro League’s fifth round, Al Nassr defeated Al Ettifaq 3-0 on the road, with Cristiano scoring the first goal.
Al Nassr easily defeated Al Ettifaq on the road last Friday in the fourth round, with CR7 emerging as the game’s star and scoring the first goal. Goals from Anderson Talisca and Salem Al-Najdi completed the 3-0 victory.
Al Nassr is now comfortably in fifth place after this win, having won two and drawn two. The legendary Portuguese player’s next game will be on Friday in the Saudi Pro League’s fifth round, when his team plays Al Wehda.
The Saudi Pro League 2023–2024’s fifth matchup pits a title contender against a struggling squad. Al Hazm and Al Nassr will square off in this match at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.
