Saudi media reports have revealed the requests made by Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al-Nassr, to the club's management in light of the team's disappointing defeat against their rivals Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup. Al-Nassr lost another championship on Saturday, falling to their neighbor with a score of 1-4 in the Super Cup final, despite having taken the lead in the first half.
This marks the eighth title that Al-Nassr has lost with Ronaldo in the team, including seven domestic championships and one Asian title. According to the program "Bra Al-18" broadcast on SSC, it was reported on Monday that Ronaldo asked the club officials to make four new signings before the summer transfer window closes on September 2nd.
The same source indicated that Ronaldo believes a central defender should be among the signings, as he sees the team struggling in that position. Contrary to the consensus among Saudi and international reports in recent hours, the program confirmed that Ronaldo requested to keep Luis Castro as he believes the problem lies with the players, not the coach. Al-Nassr has already made two signings in the current summer transfer window, acquiring Brazilian player Pinto Matheus and Salem Al-Najdi.
