 Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo received a barrage of criticism: "He looked at me with contempt..." I was let down

The football world is watching Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese celebrity is still in the Middle Eastern nation's news. Now, Al Wehda player David Beauguel, who scored in the cup semifinals, has criticised the Portuguese player for his actions during that game without holding back.

"I felt a little let down. I told him I was a great fan after the game and requested for his jersey. He gave me a rather dismissive handshake while not giving me a smile. I didn't say anything as I was raised with him. When I was a college student, I vividly recall the movies of him that I viewed. Being a great competitor, I can understand his disappointment at the outcome, but I was taken aback by his attitude. He was angry and shouting at his teammates even on the pitch, the player said L'Equipe.

The midfielder also discussed what the Portuguese's participation means for the Saudi Arabian championship: "I think it's excellent for Saudi football, aside from the money component, which is undoubtedly helpful. Football is a passion for the Saudis. Additionally, his presence might encourage other players of his calibre to come play here. This will enable the growth of football in this area, including academies and training facilities.
