Days After Cristiano Ronaldo Risked Injury, Al Nassr’s Marcelo Brozovic Declines to Rest Despite Fatigue Concerns

Cristiano Ronaldo played a pivotal role in securing positive fortunes for Al Nassr in recent fixtures. Previously, CR7 gave lesser importance to his injury concerns and took part in AFC Champions League games. Marcelo Brozovic, Al Alami’s midfielder and teammate, appears poised to emulate the Portuguese soccer legend’s footsteps to play in consecutive games without a break for the squad.

The Croatian star bolstered the midfield after joining Al Alami in this season. Meanwhile, the Knights of Najd are set to face an overpacked fixture schedule later this month.

Marcelo Brozovic promises to continue his illustrious performances

Al Nassr is scheduled to participate in five games between 21 October and 1 November across all competitions. Such a congested schedule would likely cause fatigue issues for the players appearing in consecutive games. The Croatian midfielder already played 10 games for Al Nassr in various midfield positions. Reports claim that Marcelo Brozovic has reassured Luis Castro that he doesn’t need any rest and is capable of playing three matches in a week.

The Inter Milan star has seemingly overlooked the fitness concerns and remains committed to play futher. Al Alami is just four points away from the league leaders with a game in hand. The 30-year-old star’s dedication can potentially contribute to quite a successful campaign for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo exemplified a similar mentality before their inaugural AFC Champions League group fixture. CR7 played consecutive games in SPL before taking on Persepolis. Additionally, the 5x Ballon d’Or winner risked potential injury concerns due to his fitness and unsuitable field conditions ahead of the match.

Cristiano Ronaldo portrayed commitment to Al Nassr

The Portuguese soccer legend experienced muscle fatigue prior to his AFC CL debut match. Reports claimed that Al Nassr’s captain might have risked sitting out of the game due to his tiredness. It was speculated that the Portuguese star would not travel with the team to Tehran. However, CR7 traveled with the team and participated in the match with an ecstatic impact to secure a 2-0 win against Persepolis.

Further, Azadi Stadium had an unfit pitch to stage the Group E game against the Saudi side. The stadium’s turf had a subpar condition, posing a risk of significant injuries. The Los Blancos icon took a gamble with his injury and played in unsuitable conditions. Soccer fans will surely be hoping that CR7 will maintain his illustrious performances as Al Nassr takes the stage in their ninth SPL match against Abha this Friday.
