Former Al-Nassr player Hashim Surour explained the reasons for the decline in the physical readiness of the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo during his recent appearance against Al-Fateh.

Sarour confirmed that Ronaldo is currently in a phase of regaining his fitness levels due to his absence from two matches and his delayed return to training in the recent period.

He pointed out that staying away from match environments directly affects a player's physical rhythm, explaining that match fitness is entirely different from the readiness gained from daily training.

He explained that any player who stops playing for two consecutive matches finds it difficult to keep up with the pace of the game, regardless of their experience or technical abilities.

Sarour emphasized that this is normal and understood by anyone who has played football in clubs, especially for a player of Ronaldo's caliber who was absent and delayed in returning to competitive form.

He concluded by emphasizing that Ronaldo delivered an outstanding performance and was one of the standout stars of the match, explaining that he wanted to clarify this point in response to the discussion raised on a sports program.
