After getting hurt, former Manchester United player Ronaldo apologized.
“As you know, there are some things in football that you cannot control,” he remarked. I have been a football player for 22 years, and I don’t get hurt too often.
“Al Nassr and I have been to China to enjoy the tour, therefore I’m pretty sad. Having visited China in 2003 and 2004, I consider this place to be my second home.
I always felt like I was the only one here. I’m depressed. I understand that you are also depressed, especially the people that adore Cristiano, but we must look at this positively.
“We intend to push for the game and return here; we have not canceled the game.” We’ll be back.
“I have some issues, which is unfortunate, but this is a part of my life and football. I’m here, I’m with the Chinese people and the fans, and we’re going to stay here.
“We have vision beyond the individuals in our company.
“We are depressed because we anticipated this happening. My purpose is to bring happiness to the Chinese people when we return.
I’d want to perform for you. Please don’t be depressed because I am, and I hope you can appreciate the struggles faced by a football player.
Although the original dates of the game have been postponed, Al-Nassr has stated that their training camp will be completed “as planned in Shenzhen”.
