Ronaldo justified his decision with the goal of recovering well: “This season will be very long, as there is the World Cup at the end of the year.” Although Al-Nassr did not qualify for the Club World Cup, FIFA even held negotiations about his participation from another club, but Ronaldo preferred to play in the Nations League.
