Cristiano Ronaldo, the club’s latest acquisition, has been advised by former Al-Nassr head coach Raul Caneda of Galicia that Saudi Arabia may not be the right fit for his lifestyle.
After entering Al-Nassr, Caneda worries that Ronaldo would have a difficult time adjusting to life outside of Europe.
Ronaldo officially became an Al-Nassr player this week after signing with the Middle Eastern club last week.
Caneda stated, in reference to a European playing in Saudi Arabia: “In this regard, I’m intrigued to see what the Portuguese is going to uncover. Although there have been significant improvements in the country’s freedoms, Europeans and Saudis lead very different lives, and where I grew up, Westerners had to live in housing estates.
The weather is another factor that almost always makes you workout at night, he continued. Al-Nassr provides excellent training programs. That won’t matter to Cristiano at all. Yes, being a public figure puts you in a tight space.
