""Ronaldo is extremely popular outside Saudi Arabia, and many fans want to take pictures with him, especially in India, Iraq, and Hong Kong. That's why we opted to keep him in Riyadh to maintain his preparation.""
""We are here to win. We have a wealth of experience managing back-to-back matches and know how to get the best out of our players' abilities. Al-Nassr has made clear progress recently, but we are still at the beginning of our journey. The team boasts great assets with its Saudi and foreign players, and we work every day to develop them to reach the highest level.""

The 40-year-old remained in Riyadh to prepare for a Saudi Pro League match against Al-Hazm and a Kings Cup game with Al-Ittihad. Coach Jorge Jesus explained Ronaldo's high popularity in countries such as India, Iraq, and Hong Kong as the main reason for the decision. Al-Nassr leads the Saudi Pro League and aims for a third straight Group D win, while emphasizing squad experience, recent progress, and daily player development.
