[Saba Sports News] According to local Austrian media reports, Cristiano Ronaldo, currently training with Al-Nassr in Austria for preseason preparations, has reportedly threatened to call the police due to persistent crowds and harassment around the team’s hotel. Since Al-Nassr checked into the Brandlhof Hotel, hundreds of fans have gathered daily outside the premises, with many hotel guests even wearing Ronaldo’s iconic No. 7 jersey. Chaotic scenes have erupted both inside and outside the hotel, as well as on the training grounds, whenever the team arrives or departs for sessions. Last Saturday, players’ vehicles were forced to slam on the brakes repeatedly as screaming fans – undeterred by heavy rain – rushed onto the road leading to the training facility, with some even slipping and falling. Some fans went further, booking rooms at the hotel with their families in hopes of catching a glimpse of Ronaldo. A few even sneaked into the hallway of his suite and banged on his door, provoking the star’s fury. After angrily confronting the intruders, Ronaldo reportedly threatened to involve the police. Though some fans succeeded in taking photos with Ronaldo, a security guard revealed to the media: “Some parents and children were disappointed, saying they spent thousands of euros but didn’t even get a chance for a photo or autograph.”
