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.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
