Cristiano Ronaldo is still going strong, showing off his famous ‘Siu’ celebration even in Al-Nassr training. The Portuguese legend was spotted executing his iconic jump in a session, and surprisingly, he wore a No. 9 bib, adding an unexpected twist to his usual No. 7 persona.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s passion for the game remains undiminished, even during Al-Nassr’s pre-season training. The legendary forward, who recently signed a new deal with the Saudi Pro League club, took to Instagram to share a snap of him leaping into the air with his trademark ‘Siu!’ celebration — proving that his hunger for success is still as strong as ever.
Siu, but with a Twist:
The image that caught fans’ attention wasn’t just Ronaldo’s signature leap; it was the No. 9 bib he was wearing. Known for wearing No. 7 throughout his illustrious career, the sight of him in a No. 9 jersey raised a few eyebrows. Was this a sign of a shift in role, or simply a quirky part of training? Regardless, the message was clear: Ronaldo is ready to continue making an impact at Al-Nassr, no matter the circumstances.
Hunger for More:
Despite some recent transfer speculation, including links to a potential exit from Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has reaffirmed his commitment to the club. Following a pre-season victory over Toulouse, the 40-year-old forward was clear about his ambitions: “The hunger never fades. Still work to do and we’re just getting started.” It’s evident that Ronaldo is eager to make his mark on the Saudi Pro League after a somewhat underwhelming first season, where Al-Nassr fell short of silverware.
Joao Felix Partnership:
The arrival of Joao Felix from Chelsea is a significant boost for Ronaldo, as the two Portuguese forwards are expected to form a lethal strike partnership. Ronaldo reportedly played a key role in convincing Felix to join Al-Nassr over a potential return to Benfica. With Felix alongside him, Ronaldo will have a valuable ally in their quest for trophies.
What’s Next for Ronaldo and Al-Nassr?
Al-Nassr’s pre-season continues, with a showdown against Portuguese side Rio Ave scheduled for Thursday. The club will then face Almeria before taking on Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup later this month. With Ronaldo and Felix leading the charge, the team will be hoping to close the gap to league leaders Al-Hilal and finally secure some silverware for the legendary forward.
