The soccer world once again stands united for humanity in times of need. One of the biggest soccer-loving nations Brazil is suffering a crisis after the torrential rains hit the south of the country. The country’s best player Neymar and the world’s highest goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo offered their support to the affected people recently. And now, the Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr have joined in to show a kind gesture towards Ronaldo’s teammate whose hometown had been affected by the catastrophe.

After backing Neymar’s efforts of relief to his region, Al Nassr defender Alex Telles will now receive a tribute from the club. According to reports, a special banner will be placed for him keeping in mind the devastating impact of the floods in his state Rio de Grande do Sul. Telles belongs to Caxias do Sul the second-largest city of the province. He played for two native soccer clubs of Rio de Grande do Sul Juventude and Gremio before moving to Europe and subsequently landing in Riyadh.

The Brazilian player arrived from Manchester United for a deal of two years which is reportedly worth $5.1m. Since then despite the disappointment of losing titles, the left-back has been one of their most significant players with three goals and five assists in thirty-one games.

And now during a tough time, the club stands by his side. Telles earlier expressed his motivation to be with the Knights of Najd and revealed that he and his family have decided for him to be a part of it.  With Ronaldo and Sadio Mane known for their charitable work in their unit, it seems like Al Nassr is also taking a leaf out of their kindness. Other notables have also joined hands to help the needy.

Cristiano Ronaldo joins soccer stars to help victims

Al Nassr and Al Hilal may be fierce rivals in soccer, but their stars’ actions outside reveal a common goal which is to make an impact on humanity. In a recent disclosure by Telles through a video, CR7 has given him a signed Al Nassr jersey which he wishes to auction. The funds raised will be donated to help the victims of the flood. This comes after Al Hilal’s Neymar sent a load of supplies through his jet to help the victims. He is also joined by the legendary Ronaldinho and teammate Vinicius Junior to raise funds.

Overall, the soccer community has always stood by the people whenever needed. With more than 150 lives lost and 150,000 people’s homes being affected, the five-time World Cup-winning country is fighting back. And more gestures like these will help in boosting the morale.
