By the looks of it, Ronaldo could get upset here as well, which I wouldn't really blame all on him considering the type of players he plays with, but the fact that he got here when they were leading the league and they may lose the league after he got here will definitely cause a lot of mockery. That doesn't mean that he was the reason for it, but it will not stop people from mocking him of course, just the situation itself is sort of funny already and that is why I would guess that there will be a ton of memes and videos mocking him in the end this season if they can't win the title. They still have the chance, but they just need to fight much harder.

I second that too, there are quite a lot of Ronaldo haters all over the internet, people waiting for him to fail or be put on the bench so they can make fun of him, i know it is all part of the banter, but sometime last year i began to think if maybe those in higher authorities actually somewhat dislike Ronaldo, not that it matters though, but it feels like Fifa and some of the other governing bodies are Messi fanboys.

Ronaldo is one of the stars that has become iconic in the world of football, no matter when he was still playing in the European league or his current club. there will always be people, or groups who dislike it and even sneer at it. this is natural, the dislike of other star supporters will tend to ridicule or mock him. whether it's by making mockery memes, shouting Messi's name when Ronaldo is playing against another team. whatever it is, everything will be done by groups or people who don't like it.

So, Ronaldo's current problem does not come from within the team or the opponent. however, pressure comes from outsiders who tend to corner him. but as a big star, it shouldn't be a big problem for him. his current focus is to bring his team to win a competition trophy this season. yes, Ronaldo has to work hard to make it happen and reply to all the negative responses that lead to him with achievements.

But do you really think winning the Saudi Professional League would make much of a difference as to how the public perceives him? It didn't start in the SPL. He has always been the guy who behaved quite controversially. I think that a lot of people, even his own fans, would have preferred to see him trying to fight back in one the European top leagues. But in the end it was all about the salary. He could have chosen a club that is a little bit below the maybe best five or six clubs, cut a bit of his salary and then try it again in the Champions League.
I wouldn't even say he is a bad player now. He would just have to adapt to new circumstances, to a different fitness level and to the fact that there are 11 guys on the pitch and not just him. This attitude he can keep up only in some inferior league.

But he finally let someone else take a penalty as I am sure he is noticing public discussions about him.
