Biguel is a striker for Saudi League team Al Wahda. The French footballer wanted to swap jerseys and talk to his 'ideal' Al Nasr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo after Tuesday's match against Al Nasr. But after losing to Wahda in the semi-finals of the King's Cup, Ronaldo was frustrated and upset.
It is not the case that Ronaldo misbehaved with Biguel or did not want to change jerseys with him. But as much as the Al Wahda striker stood before Ronaldo with sincerity, he did not get that kind of sincerity from Ronaldo.
And that's what upset Biguel. He told the French newspaper Le Kippe, "I'm a little upset. After the match I went to Ronaldo and asked for his jersey. He shook hands with me, but without looking at me. At that time the situation was quite calm. I remained silent. Because I grew up watching him. I understand that he was very disappointed after losing the match. He is a great player. I was thrilled to see his game videos during my college days. But his behavior at that moment surprised me. He was very upset on the field. He was scolding his teammates.
Ronaldo scored 11 goals in 11 matches in the Saudi Pro League but his team Al Nasr is not doing well. The team is in danger of losing everything and ending the season empty-handed. Before Ronaldo's arrival, they were at the top of the league, but now they are second.
Al Nasr was eliminated from the King's Cup after losing 1-0 to Al-Wehda last Tuesday night. Ronaldo's start to the Saudi league could not have been worse.
