During Al-Nassr’s loss against Al-Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared like a conductor as he wildly waved his arms at his teammates and the club’s fans.
After falling down on 20 minutes, Al-Nassr’s superstar from Portugal urgently tried to rally his team after losing to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in the season opener the week prior.

Ronaldo is making great efforts to coax a score out of the dreadful Al-Nassr squad. They’re going to Ԁeprive him another league title even though they’d be nothing without him, another fan raged.
Others have interpreted Ronaldo’s wild hand motions as an indication of his desperation, given how close he came to winning the Saudi Pro League last year.
