CR7 does not shine only with his talent on the ball. This Tuesday, the Portuguese star was guilty of a very bad gesture of humor during a match with his club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Engaged in an aerial duel with an opponent from Al-Hilal, the former idol of Real Madrid and Manchester United totally cracked.
The action seemed innocuous. And yet, the 38-year-old veteran, first hampered in his race by his vis-à-vis, then grabbed him by the neck before throwing him to the ground backwards. The attacker did not appreciate the obstruction, it is true very rude, of his opponent. Miraculously, he only received a yellow card for this bloodshed.
CR7 like his whole team was not having a good night. Upon arrival, Al-Nassr lost 2-0. A very bad operation in the league since they are now second in the league, relegated to three points behind Al-Ittihad, and this with a game in advance. These disappointing sporting results caused, last week, the eviction of the French technician Rudi Garcia by its leaders. His departure would also be linked to complicated relations with part of the locker room and in particular the Portuguese star, who arrived with great fanfare this winter just after the World Cup in Qatar. But which obviously is not enough to win the supreme title.
