According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo broke the terms of his agreement with Nike by using Adidas shin guards during Al-Nassr’s most recent friendly match against Celta Vigo. Al-Alamy was defeated 5-0 in the game.
Only the initial half of the contest featured Ronaldo, and following the first 45 minutes, the second half featured no goals. While on the pitch, the Portugal captain displayed a few impressive skill plays as well as a header where he squandered a golden opportunity.
However, many spectators saw that Ronaldo was sporting Adidas shin guards during the contest, which sparked debate about whether the Portuguese captain had violated the terms of his contract with Nike. From the beginning of his football career in 2003 until now, Cristiano Ronaldo has worn Nike gear. The sportswear company reportedly offered the Portugal captain a massive lifetime contract worth £1 billion in 2016.
It will therefore be fascinating to see whether the most recent situation develops. Ronaldo formerly sported an Adidas jumper during one of his most well-known Nike commercials, according to SPORTBible. However, the report states that the logo was removed from the advertisement and replaced with the Nike logo.
Cristiano Ronaldo on Saudi Pro League
Cristiano Ronaldo has significantly increased interest in the Saudi Pro League since his transfer to Al-Nassr. Since the Portugal skipper joined, the SPL’s prominence has surged.
In addition, several players, including Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and others, have recently joined the league. In a recent interview, Ronaldo discussed his influence. The former Manchester United star said, “They criticized me for coming to Saudi League, but what happened now? I opened the way and now all the players are coming here. My decision to join Saudi clubs was 100% crucial to bring in new top players. It’s a fact. When I joined Juventus, Serie A was dead, and then after I signed, it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes, he generates higher interest.”
Ronaldo has already stated that he believes the SPL will quickly rise to the top of the international leagues. The inclusion of fresh big names only serves to highlight how accurate the 38-year-old’s saying was.
