Cristiano Ronaldo up to old tricks as star skips Al Nassr win after leaving game early | Football | Sport
Cristiano Ronaldo has been up to his old tricks again, only watching the first half of Al-Nassr’s match against Al Taee. His side cruised to a 2-0 victory on the night, though Ronaldo will only have seen one of the goals having left at the break.
Ronaldo watched on from the VIP box at the King Saud University Stadium on a wet and windy day in Riyadh, being pictured alongside new agent Ricardo Regufe. However, the 37-year-old only watched the opening 45 minutes of his side’s victory, according to the Daily Mail.
The former Manchester United star has gained a reputation over the past 12 months for leaving matches early when he is not in the pitch, and a move to the Middle East does not appear to have broken that trend.
Ronaldo came under fire in pre-season at United after he, with several teammates, left Old Trafford before the full-time whistle had sounded against Rayo Vallecano. Erik ten Hag was quick to criticise the action and it was speculated that the matter was dealt with behind closed doors.
