Expectations were high in the Middle East due to the tour that Cristiano Ronaldo would undertake with Al Nassr in China from January 24th to 28th, days in which he would face Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang FC. However, an unforeseen event prevents the Portuguese from arriving on these dates.
The Arab team announced the suspension of the two friendly matches due to an injury sustained CR7which was the most anticipated by the fans of the Asian country.
One of those who regretted this postponement was the player himself. “I love this country (China). I love being here. I like being with you. I want to play for you. Please don't be sad because I am too. “I apologize to all the fans, but I can't play,” Ronaldo told a conference.
Likewise, CR7 admitted that this type of problem usually occurs with a player of his category. “As you know, in football there are things you cannot control. In 22 years I haven't had many injuries, so I'm very sad because Al Nassr and I came to enjoy this tour. “I've been coming here since 2003 or 2004, I feel at home here, I feel like it's my second home,” said the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
In an official statement, Al Nassr reported that it had reached an agreement with the organizers and organizers to postpone these games as soon as possible.
On the other hand, there is a risk that CR7 will not arrive in time for the duel against Al Nassr InterMiamia team in which Messi, Suárez, Jordi Alba and Busquets play.
This match is scheduled for February 1st in Saudi lands, so there is a minimal chance that Cristiano could feature in the expected match.
