Cristiano Ronaldo may not be able to make his debut for Al-Nassr on Thursday once morest Al Taee. In November, the Portuguese was handed a two-game ban by the FA and as he left Manchester United, Ronaldo has yet to serve that sentence.
According to the FIFA statutes, the federation of another country must ensure the execution of the sentence. However, in a statement, the International Federation said that in this case, it is up to the Saudi Federation to determine whether or not to maintain the sanction. In April, following the league game lost to Everton, Ronaldo snatched a mobile phone from the hands of a fan who was filming him. Although the Portuguese apologized, he was sentenced months later.
Upon hearing the news, the mother of the victim has also decided to settle accounts with the Portuguese. “The slightest mention of his name makes my blood boil. He never offered me and my autistic son Jacob a proper apology. When he called me in April following it happened, he was just bragging. It was all regarding him.”launched Sarah Kelly, interviewed by the Daily Mail.
She even goes even further. “I think he should have retired and left us all in peace. He was abandoned by Manchester United and Portugal, the Everton fan’s mum blurted out once more. It’s clear that people are starting to see what kind of person he is. He caused me and Jacob a lot of stress, and I was a victim of that. We felt like criminals the whole time and not like the innocent clan.”continued the mother, very up on CR7.
Ronaldo has just signed a contract with Al-Nassr until the summer of 2025. The Portuguese would earn 200 million euros over the next 30 months. This amount might increase significantly if Saudi Arabia is allowed to host the 2030 World Cup with its support.
