Ronaldo is known from the early days of his career to have had some level of influence on his clubs and national team. He sometimes influences the players and coaches that the club management hires. This is also the case in Al Nassr. It is believed that he was behind the sacking of coach Stefano Pioli and the replacement with Jorge Jesus. He also used his reputation to influence the sacking of the club's CEO Majed Jamaan Al-Sorour and he also made sure the club replaced him with his close friend Jose Semedo.

Former Saudi Arabian Football Federation Spokesman, Mohammed Al-Sheikh, has frowned at this excess power given to the Portuguese captain. Al-Sheikh appreciates Ronaldo's positive contributions to the SPL but he thinks that his powers should have limits.

I think what Ronaldo did for Al Nasr was also for the good of the team. As far as I know, Ronaldo is a very honest person and is completely committed to the team he plays for. So, if Ronaldo sees something wrong with the team he plays for, he will immediately act and fix it so that the team can develop further. Because, fundamentally, Ronaldo is a great player with a wealth of experience, so he certainly understands how to build a team that can win championships. So, it's only natural that he would provide advice to Al Nasr regarding issues that Ronaldo believes need to be resolved immediately. So, I don't think Ronaldo's actions were wrong. In essence, Al Nasr agreed to it. So, I don't think anyone should object to this.

Furthermore, when Al Nasr extended Ronaldo's contract, all of Ronaldo's requests and conditions were agreed to by Al Nasr. So, why do some people feel this action was wrong? In fact, they weren't harmed by Ronaldo's behavior at Al Nasr. Players on any team have the right to provide feedback, and that's exactly what Ronaldo did. He did this because he truly cared about Al Nasr and wanted to lead them to victory in the Saudi Arabian League. So, with that in mind, it's only natural that Ronaldo is truly committed to Al Nasr.

I only see envy and nothing more. If Al Nassr gives Ronaldo such power and they listen to his decisions, it shows that Ronaldo is not take as a player anymore but as part of the board of advisors for the club. That's what I think, if not Ronaldo wouldn't be given such power. Ronaldo is a super figure in football and he talks by experience, and he's highly influential.
