Ronaldo: This is how the uprising should be and this is victory
Cristiano Ronaldo Praises Al-Nasr’s Victory
Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nasr, praised his team’s uprising quickly after winning 2-0 to his host Al-Wahda in the Saudi Professional League, and he apologized for the delay in the start of the match for an hour today, Tuesday, after reaching goal No. 925 during his career with clubs and the Portuguese national team.
Ronaldo’s Goal Helps Al-Nasr to Victory
The Al-Nasr bus was late in reaching the stadium of the match, before Ronaldo scored a header and caused a penalty kick that left its implementation to his colleague Sadio Mane, so that the coach Stefano Pioli team returns to victories and advances to third place and has 47 points.
Al-Nasr’s Comeback
Al-Nasr was subjected to a sudden 3-2 defeat in front of its guest Al-Itifaq in the last round, but it benefited from Al-Qadisiyah’s loss to Al-Ahly today to recover third place, qualifying for the AFC Champions League next season.
Ronaldo’s Response
"This should be (the uprising), this is victory," Ronaldo told the Saudi Sports Company (SCC). "It is similar in life you have to rise to overcome the sad moments and get good moments. We are happy and we are on the right path and we must continue to win and we will see what will happen."
Al-Nasr’s Performance
Al -Nasr waited for the 48th minute to score his first goal after Ronaldo moved wonderfully to receive a cross pass from substitute Angelo Gabriel to turn it into the net. Ronaldo raised his goals to 17 alone at the top of the league’s top scorer list, one goal difference from his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema.
Apology for Delay
"It was a difficult match, the first half was difficult because of a three-hour journey in the bus due to traffic congestion and closed roads," Ronaldo said. "I want to apologize in the name of victory for the delay in the start of the match. This should not happen again. I apologize. We did not start (the match) well. But in the second half, (performance) improved a little. We corrected the mistakes and scored two goals and we are happy."
Looking Ahead
Al -Nasr is eight points behind the leading federation, which is a guest on the Gulf tomorrow, Sunday, but Ronaldo refused to say that his team focuses on the competition in the AFC Champions League for the elite in the struggle for the league title. "We take each match separately. We have to restore confidence again, we won seven consecutive games, but we lost in the last round," he said. "We have to do this again and achieve victory after another and we will see what will happen."
Next Matches
Al -Nasr will receive its rival Al -Orouba next Friday, before he is a guest of Iranian independence in the first leg of the AFC Champions League for the elite in the middle of next week.
Conclusion
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nasr team has shown resilience and determination, coming back from a difficult start to secure a 2-0 victory and move up to third place in the Saudi Professional League.
