C. Ronaldo’s Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr assistant coach, Stephane Jobard, has opened up on the attitude of the five-time Balon d’Or winner in training.
Recall that Ronaldo fell out with the management and coaches of Manchester United after which his contract was terminated.
Shortly after the World Cup, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al-Nassr worth a reported €200 million yearly.
His arrival at Al-Nassr has brought the world’s focus to the Saudi Arabian league.
“In training, Cristiano Ronaldo made a mistake, and I told him that it was only necessary to touch the ball,” Jobard was quoted by Sportskeeda as saying.
“He pointed with his thumb up and said: ‘Well, coach..’ and I felt that this humble man wanted to perform on the field.”
Jobard continued, “In training, I passed a ball to the legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and he scored it, then I came to him and thanked him for scoring, and I can tell my children about this.”
Ronaldo, 37, is yet to make his debut for his new club Al-Nassr.
