Al-Nasr striker Cristiano Ronaldo crossed himself after a goal in the Arab Champions Cup with Al-Shorta (1:0), thereby violating the law of Saudi Arabia. It is not allowed to show Christian gestures in public in the country. Italy 24 Press News writes about it.
Now the 38-year-old footballer faces arrest: in this country, any Christian gesture is a violation, since it is believed that those who demonstrate them want to convert others to their faith.
Ronaldo started playing for Al Nasr on December 30 last year. The forward contract is signed for 2 years. His fee at the club is 200 million euros per year.
On July 27, coach Andrey Chernyshov shared the peculiarities of working in the Saudi club Al-Shol. The instructor said that after changing the place it is very difficult to get used to the local way of life. “It is completely different for the Arabs. For example, they can spread mats on the field right in the middle of training and start praying…” the coach specified.
