Ronaldo’s competitive debut in the Al-Nassr jersey will be seen on Czech screens! How are the fans reacting?

Cristiano Ronaldo makes his first appearance for his new team. He will make his debut for Al-Nassr on Sunday evening. Exceptionally, the match will also be shown on Czech screens. What do the fans think?

So far, Al-Nassr has had to do without its star man. Cristiano Ronaldo was serving his sentence from England in the first place, but apart from that it was necessary to make room for him on the roster and thus reduce the number of foreigners in the team.

In between, the Portuguese played in a friendly against PSG. He appeared in the jersey of a selection of stars of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. He scored two goals, one of which was from a penalty, and was thus in the 4:5 defeat.

Now, however, there is no obstacle to his competitive debut in his new team. Therefore, it should happen on Sunday evening. Al-Nassr, the second team in the Saudi Arabian league, will welcome the tenth-placed Al-Ettifaq.

The match will be broadcast exceptionally from 18:30 by the Premier Sport 2 television station, which is part of the O2 TV offer.

Fan reaction

If anyone expected this news to elicit only positive reactions, they were grossly mistaken. Cristiano Ronaldo has not only a large number of fans, but also a large number of fans. Not to mention the fact that the European football public has a low opinion of the quality of the Saudi Arabian league.

Ronaldo’s transfer has only helped the so-called sportwashing, as one of the reactions to the above information points out. It is not news that human rights are not very popular in Saudi Arabia.

While there were more or less enough fans in the Facebook discussions to welcome the information, there were also several comments on Twitter alluding to the fact that the English Premier League had completely disappeared from O2 TV’s offer.

“Like really? The Premier League? If only you’d put the English one in instead,” read one comment. “Then why not just broadcast the matches from the villages on TV? It’ll work out the same,” reads another response.

Once again, it proves that it is simply impossible to please everyone.
