Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr teammate Luis Gustavo admits the superstar’s presence has made things ‘difficult’ for his colleagues but insists the Portuguese record-breaker brings lots of ‘advantages’

  • Cristiano Ronaldo’s torrid time so far in Saudi Arabia has taken another turn
  • Al-Nassr teammate Luis Gustavo has stated Ronaldo has made things ‘difficult’
  • Ronaldo has scored just one goal since signing his £172m contract at the club 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s lacklustre start in Saudi Arabia appears to have hit another ‘difficult’ bump according to the comments of his Al-Nassr teammate Luis Gustavo.

Ronaldo’s record arrival in the Middle East has seen him struggle to get off the mark, with the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star scoring just one goal since moving to his new club.

An outspoken Gustavo has admitted that the Portuguese international has made things ‘difficult’ for him and his colleagues and believes other competing clubs are targeting the team because of Ronaldo’s presence.

‘Certainly, the presence of Cristiano makes it difficult for us, as all teams seek to participate against him in the best possible way, and he gives motivation to everyone,’ Gustavo told RT Arabic.

Former Brazil international Gustavo featured alongside Ronaldo as the recently-turned 48-year-old opened his account in the Saudi Pro League during Al-Nassr’s recent 2-2 draw against Al Fateh.
