Cristiano Ronaldo Showered with Criticism in Saudi Arabia

He looked at me with contempt… I was disappointed.

David Beauguel, the ‘tormentor’ of the Portuguese in, did not hesitate to criticize CR7.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in the sights of the soccer world in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese star continues to make headlines in the Middle Eastern country. Now it has been David Beauguel, the Al Wehda player who scored in the cup semi-finals, who has not hesitated to criticize the Portuguese player for his behavior in that match.

“I was a bit disappointed. At the end of the game, I told him I was a big fan and asked him for his jersey. He shook my hand without looking me in the eye, with a very dismissive air. I remained silent because I grew up with him. I still remember the videos I watched of him when I was in college. I understand that he was disappointed after the loss, that he is a great competitor, but I was surprised by his attitude. Even on the pitch, he was upset, he was shouting at his teammates,” said the player to L’Equipe.

The player also indicated what the Portuguese’s presence means for the Saudi Arabian championship: “Beyond the economic aspect, which I’m sure is positive, I think it’s great for Saudi soccer. The Saudis are soccer fanatics. And his arrival will perhaps push players of his caliber to want to play here. This will allow the development of soccer here, academies, training centers…”.

Calls for Cristiano Ronaldo’s deportation from Saudi Arabia

Cristiano Ronaldo starred in controversy last Tuesday and, in Saudi Arabia, many people are are upset with him. There is even talk of the possibility of filing a complaint against the Portuguese that could lead to his deportation, however unlikely.

Al-Nassr‘s painful 2-0 loss to Al-Hilal leaves Cristiano‘s team with little chance of winning the Saudi Arabian League title. That setback, combined with the shouts of “Messi, Messi!”, saw the Portuguese striker react badly, as he went to the locker room and grabbed his genitals, which was taken as an obscene gesture against the fans and now they are calling for his deportation.
