[Saba Sports News] Following the news of Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Al Nassr, going on strike, fans of the rival team Al Hilal in the same city seem to be pleased. Recently, posters featuring a teary-eyed photo of Ronaldo were put up on the streets of Riyadh, serving as a form of mockery. The captions poked fun at his ‘disappearance’ during the strike and his emotional display, which sparked widespread sharing.
The incident originated from Ronaldo feeling that the Saudi Public Investment Fund was not giving enough attention to Al Nassr, failing to provide adequate support for player transfers while directing more resources towards rival team Al Hilal. In protest, Ronaldo went on strike, missing not only league matches but also training sessions. While some may think the fans are going too far, this situation is more than just a city derby rivalry. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are direct competitors for the championship, and with Ronaldo’s arrival, the competition between the two teams has intensified. This situation provides an opportunity for Al Hilal fans to express their emotions while also showcasing their team’s strength.
