Ronaldo is about to face next season

2:23am, 15 May 2025Football

With Jeddah United easily defeating Feha 3-0, their lead over the top spot has reached 9 points, and it is 14 points ahead of the fourth-place Riyadh. After Ronaldo was eliminated in the Sand Crown, Sand Super Cup and AFC Champions League this season, he basically declared that he missed the Sand Super Championship, achieving four consecutive seasons of the four majors. However, for Ronaldo, compared to the pain this season, next season may be the real darkest moment.

There is a high probability of losing the qualification for the AFC Elite League

Since the Jeddah Nationals won the AFC Champions League this season, they directly obtained the ticket to the AFC Elite League next season, referring to the UEFA rules. This means that Sha Chao's first three qualifications have now become only able to win the top two in the league.

Riyadh victory is now ranked fourth, 5 points behind the second Riyadh Crescent. With only four rounds left in the league, Riyadh Victory Team not only needs to ensure that they win, but also hope that Riyadh Crescent team will miss points. Although there is a theoretical possibility, it is difficult to happen. It's hard to imagine,! After Ronaldo was eliminated by Japanese teams in the AFC Champions League this year, there is no AFC Champions League to play next year.

may lose the qualification for the Sha Chao Cup, according to the rules of the Saudi Football Association, the Sha Chao Cup teams are the first and second teams of the league and the first and second teams of the Sha Chao Crown. Since Jeddah United now enters the top two in both competitions, it is postponed to the third place in the Saudi league according to the rules. Unfortunately, Riyadh, ranked fourth, still does not qualify for the competition, one point behind the third place Jeddah Nationals, who just won the AFC Champions League and is in full swing. When the initiative is behind the opponent, it is extremely difficult to catch up with the opponent.

Management suspicion

Ronaldo came to Riyadh to win with the halo of world number one. As the top superstar of Saudi gold and dollar football, Saudi Arabia naturally hopes to use the success of Ronaldo and Riyadh victory to promote the rise of Saudi football. However, three seasons have passed, from the first place in the league to the current four majors, and have been eliminated by Japanese teams whose value is dozens of times behind him. The champion has never been involved. Ronaldo himself is the most popular on social media, but his personal data of 1,000 goals is his most popular. Even the most proud spiritual attributes have become the first person to return to the locker room when there is a conflict on the court.

The many shameful records made the management begin to doubt Ronaldo's current real level. If they had known that the winning team in the past few seasons, they followed Ronaldo's advice and tailored the signings. Even the coach had changed four, but the results did not decline but retreated. In contrast, the signings of other teams, Benzema of Jeddah United, Milinkovic of Riyadh Crescent, and even Aubameyang of Caticia, have all brought the team's performance to a higher level. While increasing investment, Riyadh Victory also lost the qualification to the AFC Champions League. Recently, the management also urgently suspended the contract renewal with Ronaldo. Although negotiations were resumed later, it also made people wonder whether Ronaldo is currently making some compromises with salary cuts.

The United States, Canada and Mexico are coming, and the national team is in a worrying state?

Losing the qualification to participate in the AFC Champions League means that at least in the group stage, a series of games can be lost. When European teams participated in various high-intensity competitions such as the Club World Cup and the Champions League, Ronaldo was left with only solo dance in the Saudi League. Although he still has his own place in the national team, his disconnection with Europe is probably not enough to adapt to the high-intensity game rhythm.

2026 is the World Cup year and it is also the last chance for Ronaldo to impact his dream. If he still wants to pursue his dream, he or she will either abdicate and let the virtuous play a role on the bench. If he or she starts blindly, it is not just him who will delay.
