https://dailypost.ng/2025/07/20/no-player-should-be-given-absolute-power-al-sheikh-slams-al-nassr-over-ronaldo/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.
Too much power in a single hands can be abused and am sure that's what is playing out in Al Nassr. Al-Sheikh that's criticizing Ronaldo influence on the affairs of the club is nothing but a talkative that is simply trying to gain attention besides what has he(Al-Sheikh) contributed to the Saudi league. I also want to believe that Ronaldo has not in any way abused his powers as alleged. The Portuguese star is gradually doing whatever he could for the overall best interest of his club and the entire Saudi league. The Saudi league is what it is today because of Ronaldo. I think Ronaldo has done more good than any players has ever done for the Saudi league. Today the Saudi league is making a lot of money only because Ronaldo is still playing for Al Nassr. Let's just allow Cristiano Ronaldo to build his team to a greater heights and for the greater good.
