Cristiano Ronaldo publicly expressed his solidarity with Ruben Neves, the Portuguese player who plays in the Saudi league. The captain of the National Team stated that the behaviors of Al Taawon fans, who provoked Portuguese players by chanting "Jota," exceeded all acceptable limits in sport.
The Portuguese striker emphasized that "this is no longer football" and argued that clear limits must exist for this type of situation. Ronaldo expressed concern about the escalation of provocations and insults that have marked some matches in the Arab league.
The Al Nassr player stated that the Saudi league has the responsibility to punish these abusive behaviors as an example. The organizing body of the championship must act firmly to protect players from provocations that go beyond what is acceptable in a sporting context.
This position from Ronaldo comes following incidents involving provocations against Portuguese players in the Saudi competition, with fans using insulting chants as a form of psychological pressure during matches.
