Sami Al-Jaber: Ronaldo is suffering from a psychological crisis

Al-Jaber, during his appearance on the "Nadina" program on MBC, said that Ronaldo, as he knows him, does not waste penalties and chances in this way, considering that his distracted mindset may explain his recent performance.

Mohammed Al-Jaber commented after Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty against Neom, in a match that ended with Al-Nassr winning 1-0 in the Saudi Pro League, delaying the recording of his 982nd career goal.

The former captain of the Green Falcons stated that he closely followed Cristiano Ronaldo, especially during his time at Real Madrid, noting that the Portuguese star was accustomed to taking advantage of the opportunities presented to him, and that wasting a chance in such a manner is unusual for him.

Al-Jaber linked his analysis to what Cristiano Ronaldo recently experienced with the Portugal national team, following a decision to suspend him for 30 days after leaving the national team's camp before the match against Denmark without notifying the relevant officials in advance.

The Portuguese Football Federation's disciplinary board has decided to suspend Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days, along with a fine of €255, in a case that has stirred controversy around the Portugal captain.

Sami Al-Jaber, the former captain of the Saudi national team and a star of Al-Hilal, suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nassr, is going through a psychological crisis that has impacted his performance, following the recent events in his career with the Portugal national team.
