I see that what is disappointed is that Cristiano fans are not entirely Al Nassr fans, they have very high expectations for their idol so that they hope that all the matches that are carried out by Al Nassr must be won by Cristiano. talisca got a red card against al fateh, it looks like al nassr is completely dependent on cristiano.
Well.. I don't agree with this argument. Al Nassr is not that dependent on Ronaldo. So far in this season, Talisca has scored a total of 13, which is the highest by any player in the Saudi Professional League. Ghislain Konan has a total of 4 assists to his name. So even before the inclusion of Ronaldo, Al Nassr was performing really well. And despite the draw conceded to Al Fateh, Al Nassr still tops the table with 34 points (although we have two other teams with same amount of points). And their next match is against Al Wehda, which is a rather weak team. Hopefully they can get full 3 points from that match.
I agree that they do not depend on Ronaldo alone, but when you pay one player more than you pay all other players combined, you do expect that person to carry your team.

However, Ronaldo is no longer a player that can win games all by himself, and he gets frustrated when his teammates do not score on his passes, this was true back in United too, he passes and expects others to score like how he used to, but nobody can, not even himself. Which is why it's quite expected of him and the team to not get as much as he was paid out of this situation. It's good marketing though, which is all they wanted and they got it, it's amazing marketing and that's all that matters.
