Al-Bishi Says Ronaldo Should Retire Now to Protect His Football Legacy
Al Nassr legend Fahad Al-Bishi has urged Cristiano Ronaldo to step away from football and call time on his career, saying it’s time for the Portuguese star to protect the legacy he’s built. Al-Bishi criticized Ronaldo for prioritizing personal achievements over the club’s success, claiming the forward has cost Al Nassr valuable points by missing key chances in crucial games.
In a chat with Koora, Al-Bishi said, “Ronaldo seems more focused on his stats than the team. He’s broken records, no doubt, but he’s also let the team down in big moments. I respect everything he’s achieved, but it may be time to retire.” He added that Ronaldo’s recent body language, especially his visible frustration toward teammates, was disappointing. According to him, the 39-year-old no longer has the physical edge to match the demands he places on himself.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2022 following his exit from Manchester United but has yet to win a major trophy with the Saudi club, aside from the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023.
Portugal’s team coach, Roberto Martinez, spoke about the recent match and shared his thoughts. He also addressed the fact that he did not substitute Cristiano Ronaldo.
The coach praised the player, stating that he believes there was no reason to take the star off the field.
“It made no sense at all to take off Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the best goalscorer in history, off the field when we were looking for goals.”
Popular footballer Ronaldo is getting questioned and facing pressure ahead of his upcoming match this Wednesday.
This may be because Messi played last night and scored a hat-trick, and many people are creating an internal rivalry between the two players to see how well Ronaldo will perform for Portugal tonight.
It can be noted that Ronaldo’s last hat-trick was against Spain in 2018.
The coach of Iran’s club described his team’s journey as the most oppressive in this World Cup. It can be noted that the country was announced to play against Los Angeles after their draw with New Zealand.
The coach shared that they had already planned to rest for a day for recovery before returning, but instead were told to leave immediately.
“After the game, they said to us, ‘You have to leave immediately. We’ve been asked to get on a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana, and we are really troubled by that.’
“They are forcing us to go back early. They are making the situation more and more difficult, more hurdles, but we’re not going to let that stop us from doing our best.”
