Days After Audaciously Downplaying MLS, Cristiano Ronaldo Says ‘It’s Difficult but Not Impossible’ to Win Trophies With Al Nassr

As we are almost heading toward the end of July, August will embark on the new calendar year of soccer. Domestic sides around the world are gearing up for an exciting fixture. Likewise, the Saudi Arabian side, Al Nassr, is also looking to kick start their campaign on a high note. In fact, their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, has already planned things for his club.

Both CR7 and the Jeddah-based club endured a poor season. Not only were they the runner up’s in the Saudi Pro League, but they also lost other domestic competitions as well. All that may change in the upcoming season. Likewise, Ronaldo also addressed his ambitions for the new season.

Everyone had high hopes for Ronaldo when he arrived in Riyadh. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was touted to lead his side to glory and conquer the foreign league. However, it didn’t go as he planned. Certainly, both CR7 and Al Nassr are aiming to change their fortunes in the new campaign.

He recently spoke about his ambition to lead the club this season. The veteran recently flew to Japan with his teammates to play another installment of pre-season soccer. During the press conference, he said, “I want to win as many trophies as possible with Al Nassr. It may be difficult, but not impossible, accompanied by a good coach and new stars.”

The skipper insists that, given this year’s competition, it may be difficult to win the league. However, he believes it’s not impossible to completely win it. “I expect that we will play a great season, and I look forward to achieving many championships with Al Nassr,” he added. It seems the former Real Madrid man is eager to make things right in Riyadh as he aims to lead the club to glory.

Indeed, it’s good to see his optimism and his determination to lead Al Nassr to glory. Certainly, they need to gear up, as they have already endured a poor pre-season so far.

Pre-season not bearing fruit for Al Nassr

Al Nassr started their pre-season camp in Portugal. The Riyadh-based club played emphatic friendly matches against three European clubs. The first fixture was against Farense, which they easily won with a score of 5-1. Unfortunately, it was the other two fixtures that hurt them a lot. After an enthralling win, Luis Castro’s side played against La Liga side, Celta Vigo.
