Cristiano Ronaldo crossed himself and could be arrested in Saudi Arabia
Al-Nasr Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo is under threat of arrest in Saudi Arabia. It is reported by Italy 24 Press News.
The striker scored in the 1/2 finals of the Arab Champions Cup against the Iraqi club Al-Shorta, after which he crossed himself. At the same time, public demonstration of any Christian gestures and symbols is prohibited in Saudi Arabia. The violator may be arrested.
On July 27, Russian football coach Andrey Chernyshov spoke about the peculiarities of working in the Saudi club Al-Shol. The specialist said that after moving, it was most difficult for him to get used to a new way of life. “It is completely different for the Arabs. For example, they can spread mats on the field right in the middle of a workout and start praying. I have already started writing down the prayer schedule so that classes do not interrupt, ”the coach explained.
Ronaldo moved to Al Nasr on December 30, 2022. The striker’s contract is for two years. His salary at the club is 200 million euros per year.
