Is he playing today or not playing yet? That is the question that the whole (Arab) world is asking itself. Two days after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, his club Al-Nassr has a first league match scheduled.
In the Saudi Premier League, the leader will meet the number seven in the position: Al Tai FC. Three old Belgian acquaintances are waiting for CR7 there. Knowledge Musona (ex-Oostende and Anderlecht), Collins Fai (ex-Standard) and Isaac Mbenza (ex-Cercle and Antwerp) play football for Al Tai FC. As a full back, Fai could even be his direct opponent.
The question is whether Ronaldo will feel fit enough to play. He is expected to start on the bench at most, because on January 14 there will be the top match against Al Shabab and on January 19 there will be another friendly match against PSG. Musona and co. certainly hope that Ronaldo enters the field, but in order not to create extra pressure, they were not allowed to give interviews.(jug)
